There are a bunch of cars I wouldn't kick out of bed, but a TR2, 3 and maybe a 4 is the one that really gets my attention. I've let couple slip out of my hands in the past couple of years that I regretted.

In my case, the elusive 'affordable' '69 Charger project...
I'm always on the hunt for a driver 65 Riviera in the right colors for the right price.
I also want a nice vintage wagon, but only if it has a 3rd row seat, and fake wood trim on the side is a big bonus.
That Mustang would be on my bucket list. I would probably ruin it with some brake and suspension upgrades though. The wife had 66 hardtop with 289/4V and 4 speed. Very pretty, but not a great driving experience. Drum brakes should have gone out of style years earlier.
Alfa parts.
Some day I'll be looking for my E-Type. Series 1 (with the toggle switches, inline-6, and covered headlights) clad in "British Racing Green".
oh dear, there I go again...
Im looking for things to flip. Going to pick up an 02 prius with battery issues for $700 later tonight and try to fix and flip.
As for cars for me, i was looking for a Prius for Kambri but then we found one and bought it, 07 w/210k for $4500 so that's done.
I honestly want to get rid of stuff more than i want new stuff but i am trying to trade something (anything!) to my friend for a 5spd/4wd tbi Loyale Wagon he has.
As for actual stuff that is on my list and not just an 'opportunity buy', i am interested in a Boxster S, Ferrari Mondial, and Maserati TC (seriously.. but im not willing to pay much!). Need to get some other life goals out of the way before i go buying anything over 10k 'just because', though. I have plenty of cool stuff sitting around already that need lots of attention.
Lotus Elan Series 1 or 2, Morgan +4 with Triumph power, Alfa Giulietta. Should have bought all of these when they were cheap. I also want to build a vintage ramp truck, with modern amenities, to take cars to events with. Please talk me either into this or out of this, so I stop shopping eBay.

still planning the 302 with Miata??
No car as of yet to begin with.... but my next plan is to start with an 1800 coupe... run a (what else???) 4AGE.... I like the idea of the Miata rear suspension... run the 99-05 model and the LEEN adapter allows me to bolt a Toyota 4A to the Miata 6 speed....
170hp... 8500 rpm capable... 6 speed, AND IRS equipped Volvo 1800 ....
In reply to Tim Suddard:
Tim, what is it with fiber glass splinters, rust and termites. Buy one of each NOW. Christmas is coming and the current caretakers are going to need money, make the wives an offer. As for the ramp truck, find a Ford F350 7.3 Powerstroke and replace the cab/fenders/hood with a 50's F series. It's fun spending your money!
Looking for some 80s angular asian chassis with at least moderate support.... going to snatch up something that is the best deal. MR2, Celica Supra, Rx7, etc. things like that. Going to sell my motorcycle and use the monies from that so with MR2 prices being so ridiculously low it's looking like that.
I would go for the ultimate in 80s angular asian box flare fun, Starquest, but aftermarket support for that is lacking compared to almost everything else and I am not a very inventive person lol

I'm looking for a lemons friendly Citroen SM or TVR Tasmin/280i. We've done the Rolls Royce already, we need something more obscure.

A Lemons priced TVR may be tough, but you're in the right area. The TVR club is based out of Kintnersville PA.

The president just started vintage racing, and if anyone can point you towards a Lemons-level car in the area, they could.
A fox body of some sort. Probably a Mustang. If it is a mustang: 5 speed is a must and prefer V8, no V6s. If one of the other foxes, all bets are off and would be buying on condition only. Many swaps would happen.
