I just want the car I had when I was in high school, my wonderful old '65 Mustang GT Convertible. I once drove it across Kansas at 135mph for a sustained period of 2 hours, it was awesome. Alas, the engine exploded when I put gasohol in it. I guess there’s no substitute for 112 octane, as the owners manual said it requires.
I do have a candidate for a new ultimate car:

Either that, or a Lamborghini armored car. Tina Turner owns one. With its solid rubber wheels, I bet you could just drive over other cars to get out of traffic jams.
Nah, the '68 Hemi Cuda is way cooler than the '72, and way rarer. Someone recently discovered a '68 Hemi Cuda that had been bricked up in a secret room, when the building was torn down by the owner’s kids, they discovered it, it only had 50 miles on the odometer. It sold for a record price for any US production car from the '60s on forward, $950,000.

Yep, that’s WAY cooler than the '70 version.
BTW, a friend of mine in high school had the fastest car in town a '69 Dodge Coronet 426H. It was absolutely 100% original parts, in absolutely new condition. He let me drive it once, and it drove like a tank. He challenged me to stop on the accellerator as hard as I could, and see if I could get all 8 barrels of the carburetor to kick in. I couldn’t do it. He showed me how to do it (took him 4 attempts at it!) and I still couldn’t do it. Anyway, he couldn’t afford the gas, so he sold the thing in about '76 for $3500. The next week, the new owner came back to him, and asked him if he had a record of the engine and body VIN numbers. Someone stole the car right from his garage, the second day he had it. The car was eventually found in a junkyard, minus the engine. Apparently at that time, hemi engines were worth more than hemi cars.
