Jim, when I went to select my 5, I knew there had to be a GTO and that it was going to be a series one car. They just have something going for them in the design department that the series two cars are lacking. Out of the series one cars, I selected 3387GT because of the 2nd OA/1st in class finish at Sebring with Hill and Gendebien, two of my favorites, as well as it having had good finishes at LeMans, Bridgehampton, Watkins Glen, and Nassau in its first year without any DNFs. It then went on to do well at Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Nassau again the following year. It's difficult to pick one series one GTO as none of them were ever 1st overall at LM or anything like that. I missed your question about Chinetti's 166MM earlier. Like I said, it was a difficult process of elimination. I knew that I had to have at least one of each: 1. a series I GTO, 2. a front-engined TR, 3. a 375 Plus (love those Lampredi-powered beasts!), and 4. a one-off "speciale." Why the second TR over the 166, P4 or other equally significant car? I don't know. Like I said, ask me another day and the answers might be different. I'm already thinking I might have rather picked 0402AM as my "speciale" pick instead of 0488AM. Then again, no. Well, maybe. Oh, why do I only get to choose five?! | ||

Jim, I would have to go for the Series 1 250GTO myself, even though a Series 2 won Sebring. The Series 2 shape just doesn't quite work IMO ... bit of a con job in my opinion to try and homogate the 250LM ... ie. they had the LM on the drawing boards and wanted to make the GTO resemble the rear engined car , etc. Also one of the Series 1 250GTOs came 2nd at Le Mans ... Pete ps: BTW, I'm sure this or something similar has been asked before but, I could not find it, and Jon Shirleys collection just had me thinking that he has too many cars to really enjoy them each individual properly ... what great problem to have when one wakes up | ||

According to this, space ships/shuttles aren't for sale to the public... Would you settle for a model shuttle...? By the way, you mentioned that the Countach is a pain in the ass, and that's why it's not on your list, but you obviously like Bulls, or you wouldn't have the Countach, so why not just add a Diablo/Murcielago/Jalpa/Miura to your dream car list...? Or do you not like those...? Just wondering... No car list, for me, would be complete without a Lamborghini... | ||

Ansgar's choice is the best of 5 cars but in reality the best choices should be practical and I would categorize in 3 types of cars- luxury, sports, and utility. So in luxury in would choose a sport coupe since I don't have too many people to carry so it would be a CL65 if it comes out, sports car would be a Ferrari 360 conv. for sportin on sunny days, and for utility it has to be a truck with 4drs. and a bed for loading stuff and the other 2 cars would be what I already have except one more Ferrari in the near future. | ||

Not very easy to answer, but if there is only space for 5 cars, you would find this cars in my garage (in no particular order): 1.) 288 GTO 2.) F 40 3.) F 50 4.) Enzo Ferrari  And if i have to transport more than only two people: 5.) Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG (6 ltr. V12 Biturbo, 612 HP)      I think 2670 horses in the stable are sufficient (for first ). | ||

Here I go: 1. Ferrari F1: 641 F1 (1990 Prost)or F310 low nose (ex. 96 Schumi Spanish GP car) - race car 2. Porsche 930 - first love, one of Turbo era icons 3. 125 cc Shifter Kart - to help keep my skill level up for driving F1 car 4. Ferrari 328GTS, 355GTS or 360 spyder - street F-car, open-top motoring 5. Porsche 911 Tip - daily driver. However, I can definitely be satisfied with two cars: Ferrari F1 car and Porsche tip cab daily driver. And hopefully, have enough $ in budget for operation and maintenance of both. | ||

Willis, if i could afford the ten dream cars i listed, i probably wouldn't have to work... Which means that i would definitely be able to drive all ten cars, three times per week-- in fact, i would probably have some time left over, if you're short on time and don't have any time to drive your Pagani... | ||

The dream list (in no particular order) 1)F40 2)365 GTB/4 3)Pagani Zonda C12S (in clearcoated carbon fiber) 4)360 Modena (trade for successors) 5)McLaren F1 LM Realistic list 1)F40 (hopefully have it by 40th birthday) 2)360 (trade for successors) 5 exotics is too many to use on a regular basis IMHO. By regular, I mean driven 3 times per week or more, rain or shine, unless you're hauling stuff or people. | ||

Ok, i hate questions like this 'cause all these cars go through my head and i'm only allowed to pick 5... So if it had to be all Ferraris, here's what my list would be: Ferrari Enzo (black/black) Ferrari 360 Spider (California blue/Navy) Ferrari F50 (red/black) Ferrari Testarossa (red/whatever it comes with- i want it completely the way they make 'em, originally) Ferrari 333 SP or Ferrari P4 (whichever is fine, really... ) (...oh... i'd really like it in red, too...) Now if i were allowed to make a separate list of cars that weren't Ferraris, this would be it: Lamborghini Diablo Roadster (Check Florida's thread with pictures from a Mt. Dora event- the purple Diablo is the one i want) Porsche 962 CR McLaren F1 Bugatti EB110 Audi Supersportwagen Rosemeyer (For the rough winter weather ) | ||

It was very hard to limit the list to 5. But in no particular order. 1. 1987 328 GTS (blue/tan)Just love this CAR!!  2. 1965 330 GT 2+2 (silver/red)I have 2 daughters and this would be great for the occational road trip.  3. 1965 250(275)LM (barchetta Red)In my opinion the most beautiful road car ever made! The last of the great street legal race cars.  4. 1985 288 GTO (red/black)The car that inspired my obsession.  5. 1961 250GT Zagato (blue/blue)First incountered this car at the FCA nationals in LA, it was an amazing car a very classy sports car with a very unique shape. looks good at every angle.  | ||

Are we including the grocery getters as part of the collection? In my situation it doesn't really matter, just curious what Anthony's last two choices would've been not considering the practical side of motoring. Oh, well, in alphabetical order... 1. Bentley 8 Liter, or should I say Litre Or maybe the Embiricos Bentley, or the Blower Bentley... I guess this is my dad's influence. All collections should have a prewar beast. (Cheers PSk, the Alfa is a great choice!) 2. Ferrari 250 GTO Beautiful and savage. 3. Ferrari 250 LM Mid engined masterpiece. I like them, and they are nice, and they sound good, and they are pretty, and they are fast, and they have holes on the body, and they probably even smell a lot better than the competition. 4. Ferrari 250 TR If I have to explain this one, you are not a car enthusiast. Just looking at one of these is a life changing experience. 5. Ferrari 512M It would be my ultimate grocery getter! The pinnacle of the much disliked late Testarossa design. Miami Vice and all! It's also the first Ferrari I had the privilege of engaging in gear and driving, albeit a very short distance. In 1995, at less than 20 years old, an impressionable mind. From then on I started seeing red. The first car I lusted after. And the front boot has a lot of space! Ask me in a week and my answer will most likely be different. A Bugatti Royale would be nice in case I ever rule over a country and need a good parade car. Maybe an Aston DBR1 (sacrilege, I know). Those Zagato bodies Aston GT's are also nice. The only constant would probably be the 250 TR. | ||

... I personally would not be able to handle a collection of Jon Shirley's volume, to much to choose from and not enough time to enjoy them all. I think a collection of 5 cars would be a good amount, so you could enjoy tinkering on them, etc. Thus what 5 cars would I own, money not being an issue: 1. Alfa Romeo 8c2900B. Fantastic late 30's car with GP type engine, and all independent suspension. The F40/GTO of the 30's. 2. 250GTO or LM, er, naturally. 3. 312T5 F1 Ferrari. 4. Maserati Bora, 4.7 early one. 5. Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV. As I already have one and love these wonderful little cars. As you can see a couple of practical road cars ... to maintain the enjoyment while the others need that extra fettling. So what would you guys have in a 5 only car collection. If Wayne Ausbrooks replies he has to quote chassis numbers Pete |
