Both are so rare, I doubt I could ever find or buy one, ever if I won the lottery..

Conversion vans.
We had 3 useful ones a while back,
now it's down to 2
but it's just me and wifey here now. Extremely useful when you have a large family and beats putting 7 people PLUS luggage, etc into a min-van or car. Having TWO during a hurricane evacuation is useful also
as eveyone has pre-selected "most valuable stuff"
with room for it and the rest is left behind.
They also hold my band gear and cruise at 75 mph where legal(US 59, Texas).
1966 SS 396, a car my friend's Grandma had when I was growing up. He said everytime he heard the 4 barrel making that 'OOOM' sound and felt being pushed back into the seat, he'd look over and see his Grandma with a huge smile on her face. I got to ride in it once(we were 11 & 12 years old while she had that car).
Dodge Viper: Top Speed 175 mph, 0-60 5.4s, 0-100 12s.

1974 BMW 2002... The car that saved BMW. They were about to be bought by Mercedes Benz and the 2002 saved BMW. Only 105hp, but it's by far my favorite. 1974 is the first year w/ the Porsche 4 speed and the last year w/ round taillights so that's why I chose it.

1959 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. Everything about that car is awesome. Long, fins, big grill, big engine... It rules.
1964 Aston Martin DB5... James Bond. Not much else to say. That car is beautiful.

Rally cars.
I'm currently looking for a XR4Ti, e30, or Volvo 240/740/940 turbo.
I'll always have a soft spot for 911s and old VWs.

Three favorites... Sure.
The first one is a little known variant of the 1966 Ford Galaxie known as the 7 Litre. It was available as a coupe or convertible, it had the LTD grille, bucket seats and console standard, came with a four speed manual or C-6 Automatic and a honking 428 Cobra Jet motor. It was only produced one year and it was stunning.
Number two is a 1968 AMC Javelin. Yeah, I know it's a Rambler. Personally, I think that the 68 Javelin was the prettiest pony car of it's day and the styling still holds up 46 years later.
And lastly, the 1965 Buick Riviera. Most people drool all over the 63, and it's nice. But the hidden headlights and the move of the taillights to below the rear bumper made it just about perfect.
I feel confident that no one else will share my choices, it's okay.

The Javelin is in my top three muscle cars easy. In general AMC had cool looking cars.

My first car was a 1954 Triumph TR-2. I would love to have another Triumph of that vintage. I still have a 1968 Camaro convertible that I got when I was 20. It's not running, but in theory I'll put it back together someday. And, the van. Vans are the perfect vehicle for a bass player, especially when the bass is sometimes an upright. That's it.
I commute to work on a motorcycle, but that's for a different thread.

i can only dream about small cars being a professional musician that plays the double bass several nights a week..
so a badass old porche would certainly be on the list.
i would love to own a smart car for a month or so... moreso for use as a go-kart than an actual car.

1962 Pontiac super duty Catelina. My 2nd car and my first hot rod. Paid $275 for it used. In good shape , they are worth upwards of $80,000 these days. I sold mine for $200.
1964 Pontiac LeMans. My 3rd car and ultimate hot rod. Pulled out the 326 engine the night I bought it and put in a 389 with 3x2's. (same as the GTO's) Drove it a couple years and blew up the 389. Next was a 428 and a 4:10 rear. It turned mid 12's with street tires at 75 & 80 dragaway .
1963 Chev Nova. 6 cyl , no guts , but it lasted me over 12 years and never left me on the side of the road.
These were all back in the 70's and 80's .Currently running an 85 Firebird and a 63 LeMans but those are for another thread.

OK , so far my two favorites besides mine are the 65 Riviera and the Stutz Blackhawk. Never even seen a Blackhawk before.
The 1938 Phantom Corsair
Figured putting up a picture of it late is better than never.

+1. My definition of favorite includes driving it regularly. Torque and tunable suspension are way more important to me than fins or cool paint. To each his own though.
