Bucket List.... Burgundy 944 S2. I tried to buy one when I was 19 and I have never heard an insurance agent laugh so loud in my life. The sad thing he was my best friend's dad.
Something that will bite me if I mis behave too badly. I'm thinking something in the Cobra or Haku realm.
I really have an itching for an old Mercedes. something when they were still hand built.
ooh, almost forgot, 80's 911 done up a la Super Troopers.
And RHD Classic Mini
The list changes daily but there a few common denominators 911 of indeterminate age as it's more of a I know what I like when I see it thing. A truck or van to tow with. I would love a restored 1989 Civic Si and 1974 VW Thing. I would like a fun appliance daily driver type cat maybe a WRX or a newer Civic Si sedan. The rest would likely be transitional in and out of the collection.
I would love me a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe'
And I want a Morgan Trike
and last but not least.. a Lotus 7 or a really good replica

Fill two buckets at once: I saw an AMG S65 in traffic today... "V12 Biturbo" emblazoned on the fender. 
I didn't realize I owned a car on so many bucket lists: classic Mini (RHD).
Number 1 - Nogaro Blue Audi C4 S6+ Avant with a C5 RS6 4.2 biturbo.
I have a C4 S6, but it's not an Avant.
Number 2 - Riviera Blue Porsche 987.2 Boxster Spyder with a Sharkwerks 4.1 liter Mezger swap.
I have a Boxster, but it's neither a Spyder, or Riviera Blue, or swapped.
Number 3 - Two tone Green on White Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser with a 4BT diesel.
Number 4 - Sunlit Gold 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback with a Volvo-16v-head Lima 2.3 Turbo
I have this one, I just need to restore it.
Number 5 - Maroon Metallic 1986.5 Toyota Supra Coupe (3SGE BEAMS + Turbo, Altezza 6-speed, carbon fiber everything, aiming for 2500 pound wet weight.)
I have one like this one, but without a sunroof. Needs a lot of work...

The non-turbo 5.9 liter V12s (~2000 and 2002) are selling for about $9,000 right now. The 2003-2005 biturbo 5.5 liter V12 CL600s are selling for only a little more than that. Then it's a big luxury coupe that does 0-60 faster than my Viper for probably $10-15,000. That's cheaper than a used Chevy Volt. I cannot figure out why they depreciated so much! I'll have to see where the AMG cars sit, because I think I remember seeing those at around the same price.
I'm gonna admit, I want a First Generation VW Bus. Is it practical? No. Is it safe? Nah. Would it be awesome? Awww yeaaahh 
Friend of mine once T-boned a Mercedes (driver was at fault) with an ACVW bus. Totalled the Merc. Bus suffered a little damage to the bumper.
Too many to list-- but these come to mind:
Beck Spyder
Series 1 E-Type Jaguar
Hudson Hornet
And it's a bucket list--- so screw the budget!
Dino 206

As opposed to one of the passengers? 
On today's reasonable bucket list:
Paul Newman's 960 V8 wagon
Acura NSX
1989 Saleen SSC
An Olds Fiesta or Buick Caballero wagon
An SRT4 powered GLH
Jensen GT
Jensen Interceptor
'67 Series One and a Half E type coupe (Series 1 body with the 4.2 motor, yes they do exist and were factory built)
Superformance GT40 replica
Warlock (Lotus Seven powered by a Hayabusa)
1966 Shelby GT350, white with blue stripes please. I'll even take a clone.
Bucket list - not dream garage list. The latter would be much larger and less attainable.
I will own an AC Porsche 911 someday; this I have decided against my better judgement. I really don't understand the allure, but it's real.
In reply to KatieSuddard:
Avoid the VW bus. In an accident (we had one yesterday in town) your legs ARE the crumple zone. Dude is messed up 
Sorry for that buzzkill moment. Back on topic, my bucket list of cars is similar to many of these but I have a recurring powerball fantasy of hunting down the nicest example of every car I've ever owned. Then restoring/modding them in the ways I always wanted to when I had them but was limited by finances and common sense from following through on. Some of them:
1980 Corolla SR-5 with the 3T-C motor.
1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse
1985 Dodge Shelby Charger
1988 Ford TurboCoupe
1985 300ZX
2001 Audi Allroad
2005 Phaeton
All were sold for perfectly good reasons and had their particular issues, but given an unlimited budget I'd have them all back. (and then the Allroad would have 500+ hp)
my bucket list list is along the lines of KyAllroad's... but with mine, I've only picked a few of what I once had... but after having built "Surreptitious", I seriously doubt i'd be happy with any of them the way they were....
So.... my choices in no particular order
1969 TVR Vixen but this time powered by a 9000 rpm capable 4AGE (about 180 hp) fitted with a 6 speed.
Volvo 1800 early body (pre 66 I believe) but this time powered by a 3SGE Beams (dry sump if needed for clearance)with IPD suspension mods and brakes to be the dual circuit from the 1970 models
67 mustang coupe(pale green w/black vinyl top) but this time powered by a stroked 2JZ (so I can keep the "200" badging ) with appropriate brakes and suspension mods
MkI Capri but this time using a similar 4AGE and 6 speed as "my" TVR... also with appropriate brakes and suspension mods
... and then there is always the Toyota I never owned... a smiley bumper Celica liftback, but this time fitted with either a 1UZ, or a more vintage 4/5V 
Well, yeah I left off the minivan and the explorer and some other non memorable pieces of basic transportation.
There are too many to mention. If I were filthy rich I'd have a collection to rival Leno.
Jag E-type. No question. I wonder if they'll still be realistically priced when I get old enough to buy one?! (I guess 50+ years old, they're not a young guy car. ;-)
