What car would you own if it couldn’t be a C Body?

I'd love to find a Special Value Package '76 Torino like my dad had, silver-over-red; I loved that car growing up and a lust to find another one has been with me ever since.

Other than that, though, I'm happy that I've been able to acquire most of my "dream cars" already ^_^. A '94-96 Roadmaster sedan, an '88-91 Grand Marquis... yeah, I have pretty simple dreams!

I also wouldn't turn down a good Oldsmobile Achieva or a '91-'96 98... 'cause I'm weird like that :lol:
 
While my 69 Newport is my favorite and I love the 78 New Yorker I just bought. I have a few others in process or waiting in line.
I've had my 66 Galaxie 38 yrs. She's almost 4 yrs into her rebuild.
I've got a 67 Impala waiting in line.
Finally my 07 Crossfire is almost as much fun to drive as my Newport.

1970 442 convertible in Aztec Gold 4 SPD.
57 Chevy....any flavor
Ecto 1 replica. This one would be the end all be all for me. You couldn't keep me out of it. : )
 
Always was attracted to either 1969 caprice classic 427 or impala ss, or 1971 caddy coupe deville.
 
Anything, really. The best thing about most C bodies, is they are a cheap enough car, you can usually buy another car too.

I have been eyeing up the Colonnade cars lately, particularly the Lemans and Cutlass.
 
Wouldn't mind me an 80s Toyota Crown with the 1UZ V8...

The fender mirrors would be great to use. Air suspension might be a problem since the parts are no longer available, but there is at least one aftermarket option available, albeit not cheap. Body on frame which is pretty neat too. And the same guys that make the air suspension also make a kit for sticking a 5 speed behind it...
Plus, the VFD speedo looks really neat

I think this question goes in 2 different directions...what do you wish you could own vs what could you actually afford to buy/restore?
