There is a guy driving around town here with one the same color.
Get this it has a step side blue truck bed on it off a s-10 or a ranger.
It actually looks almost factory.
 
I think the only car I really want is my 71 challenger that I bought when I was a freshman in college, Blue with a blue interior.
Owned it for 11 years and foolishly sold it.
It was the first car that I ever bought, I only drove it on pretty days.
 
Already have mine. 1969 Nova SS with a 500 cubic inch / 8.2 Liter pontiac 455 block out of a wrecked GTO Judge. The Nova was bought as a documented SS roller so I was able to use whatever i want as the original driveline was gone.

'69 Corvette, must have 427 Tr-Power, factory side pipes, Fathom Green with saddle interior. I've wanted one exactly like this for at least 40 years!

My uncle's best friend in high school had a green '69 Corvette, except his was a L-88 427. This was in the mid 70's (class of '76). He had it up until the early 2000's, then raffled it off to raise money to start a flooring business.
 
Surprised at the Fiero love. In the same category, a VW Corrado...but since I have no probs admitting that one, it doesn't count.

But another weird one I still lust for...Type III VW squareback.

An L-88 would be O.K. too! Unfortunately, nice restored cars like this seem to be going for around $100K these days.

I hear you on that! I really feel lucky now that, as a teenager in the 80's (class of '90) I was fortunate to be around a lot of cars that are now pretty high dollar and I would never be able to afford. First muscle car I rode in was a 1970 GTO convertible 455 4 speed, I think only around 200 of those were made. First muscle car I drove was a 1971 442 W30 convertible. Don't know how many of those were made, but the owner told me that there were only 20-30 left, that was in 1988.

I didn't have an L-88 but I did have a '72 LT-1 Corvette - solid lifter 350 came new with an
aluminum hi-rise and dual feed Holley (Z-28 motor). That's my little brother Dave (Weeb)
with the car in my Dad's driveway around 1975.

Those LT-1's would really run. This same uncle - his first car was a 70 1/2 LT-1 Camaro. He bought it off a used car dealer lot. That afternoon, his dad (my grandfather) asked for the keys. He took it out, came back, and told him he had to take it back - too fast. My uncle returned it and got a '72 351C Mach 1 instead.
 
Well, I always wanted my Dad's 78 Chevy 2+2 Monza Spider 4 speed....it only had the v6, but it was a fun car until it blew apart when i was 5 or 6. Sat for 10-15 years before he donated it to goodwill. Always liked that car and now I found out that in 78, only 750 of them were made with the spider package and the options his had, which is low by chevy terms. Right now, you cant find them for under 7000 in project shape, most were cut up for drag cars.
 
Vehicle I have always wanted is a '72 Bronco half cab. Has to be a '72 as that was the last year of the half cab and also the year I was born. Maybe some day...
 
I've always wanted a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe. Dream on!

That Nova , is flat bitchin'... Some really cool stuff, guys & gals. The Feiro love is cool, oddballs rock. ( love the Fee -Dub square back, b.t.w.)..
 
I find it difficult to believe that anyone would "never admit to" wanting a 427 corvette.
