The Wraith would be cool.
Everyone remembers the Trans Am, but I was always partial to the Snowman's 1974 Kenworth W900.

As soon as we find somebody willing to tow us through downtown Kershaw SC for the fall lemons parade, we want to do that theme with our 1979 Toyocedes.

The A-Team van. I've seen a few knock-offs driving around that really irritate me cuz they're like 20yrs newer and just look stupid IMO (basically just added a red line to a blue van). If I built one, I'd replicate it as close as possible to the original. I see no point in doing it 25%.
The Peterbuilt 281 from Duel.
Because...

UPDATE , My Google overlord says its a 1934 Ford ,
I just stayed up late to watch this movie on youtube...it's actually decent for a 70s TV movies...I regret nothing 
The Bullitt Mustang is my first choice, and really it’s just a ‘67 fastback with Torq Trust wheels and a few dents, so probably the least obnoxious/conspicuous choice you can make.
But since that has been taken I’ll offer this equally valid suggestion: The Mad Max Inteceptor (preferably in post-apocalyptic trim)
I'll take a Coyote X please.
The Monte Carlo from Tokyo Drift. This thing always kind of resonated with me. It's loud, it's evil (depicted as having a 632 but the cars actually had 502s and 572s) it's rough around the edges. The original plan was for it to be done up in red and gold like Junior Johnson's Coke-sponsored 1st-gen Monte Carlo. Then, when they were prepping it for paint, Dennis McCarthy walked in and saw it in tan and gray primer and said "Stop. That's perfect."
There's a video on YouTube of a guy doing a review of a Kitt replica. Apparently, that steering wheel makes them gawd awful to drive.
I will always be partial to a General Lee. I almost bought a replica back in 1990. Granted, a 20 year old me probably would have wrapped that ill-handling beast around a pole...

FYI "The blonde in the white Thunderbird" was Suzanne Somers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzanne_Somers
She was also in Bullitt.
Guess she's pretty connected with famous car movies.
Everyone else wants a Interceptor coupe and I'm like:

I'm a Ford guy through and through, but what I wouldn't give for a "Bandit" Trans-Am.
Especially with the option where it has a TH400 but sounds like it has a four-speed.

I should watch Burn Notice

Obvious counter-point -- and the car that likely has fueled my desire for this exact car with a Turbo /6:

So, I have this four door RX-3. That is how I dream of painting it.
Steve McQueen cars for me...
70 911S from LeMans
And y'all can have the Mustang from Bullit, I'll take the light yellow 356...
Lotus 7 from The Prisoner.
I built this car when the show was on:
And from Crime Story:
In reply to rodknock :
There was a guy local to me that had one, even down to complete recreation of ALL the decals. I don't know if he ever got it running 100% but even at about 75% running right that thing was fast. Unfortunately he later had some health issues come up and while he did recover, I have no idea where it ended up.
