Which car from the 1960s - 1980s would be your dream car?

Mid sixties Jaguar XKE coupe, series I or II, straight six. The most beautiful vehicle ever manufactured.

Or...a 1966 Corvair Corsa convertible with either 180 hp turbocharged engine or 140 hp with 4-1 barrel carburetors. I'd prefer it with a limited slip differential and special order 3.73 gears. On change would have to be made though, replace the 1966 one-piece steering column with the 1967 two-piece "breakaway" unit for safety reasons. It was truly the American Porsche, tomorrow's car built yesterday.

Speaking of Porches, if I had to choose one, I guess I could live with a late 1960's 911 2.6, but really, deliver any version to my driveway and I'll keep it.

Maybe a 1973 Lotus Europa John Player Special. Mid- engined, weighs less than a ton and handles like it's on rails.

Could also live with a 1968 Camaro Z-28 with the hydraulic lifter 302. Need both the Z-28 and RS packages to get all the goodies. Wouldn't handle as well as everything else on this list but ferocious acceleration and can rev like a formula 1 car.

For a deceptive street racer, go with the very rare 1974 Gremlin. I kid you not, was available for one year with AMC's 401, an engine from which some serious horsepower could be drawn. Sure, it's an awkward, goofy, nose-heavy, oddly-proportioned little beast, but like an ugly dog, loveable once you get to know it.

From Japan, an earlier version of the Skyline GT, the car that's getting a lot of attention as it finally reaches the US, but has been available across the Pacific since the 1970's. AWD, bulletproof engine, always a couple of steps above the rest technologically.

Bottom line though, for an everday driver, I'd go with the grandaddy of the modern "sport sedan", the BMW 2002. I owned a pair, 1970 and 1973, both base bodels, but while we're dreaming here I'll take a 1971 2002tii. There's nothing awesome about the acceleration, handling, braking, comfort, fuel efficiency, etc. Just a sublime combination of the essentials in a perfectly executed package.

Either a 1963 split window corvette or a 1969 dodge charger daytona, 3rd choice would be a 1971 chevelle ss 454.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 or SS...one of the most beautiful cars ever made...I would be happy with a 350 or 396 cid V8..the 427 or 454 engine would be way cool..I would do a 5 speed Tremec upgrade on the transmission and probably remove the rear seat..put Recaro buckets with 5 point harnesses in there.....my second choice would be a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible..air suspension with 20 inch Daytons and Vogues on that one....green or yellow with white interior....my third choice would be a 1989 BMW 850i..black on black...sitting on 20 inch BBS rims and Pirellis.

One of those old VW vans, orange and white. But made into a hybrid so I wouldn't pay $100 a week for gas. Then I could haul my family around hippie-style. That would be awesome, because regular minivans are ugly.

1970 Plymouth Superbird or Daytona Charger, with a Hemi of course.

For me it would be a 1964 Shelby Cobra 427 roadster in red.

Coming in second would be a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 "Thunderbolt" 427 also in red.
