I saw up close and personal one of the back to the future cars at a speed shop in mckinney tx. Signed by the cast. Real deal. It was so cool.
Mad Max. Last of the V8’s.
Considering the current state of the world around us, Mad Max for sure.
The Magnum car for sure, BUT only if it comes with an authentic Hawaiian Flowery shirt
Watch out bobC, the FBI will put you on a watch list with that shirt.
Don’t forget the Detroit Tigers ball cap!
I think it was a 512 Burlanetta Boxer. Testarossa was dated but went over 200 mph
I seemed to remember that it was a 308 Ferrari. In looking it up, I was close – it is a 308 GTS. Always thought it was a cool car.

007’s car, best auction value hands down.
Aston Martin DB-5. it is the car to own. shifting gears with your left hand is not that hard to learn too.
True, it’s not. Was stationed in the UK for 8 years. The hard thing is looking up & left for the mirror and getting the wipers & signal lights straight. You could tell who the new guys were…they’d be going aroun the roundabouts with the wipers going on a sunny day…
Agreed. In an interview, Connery said there were about 50 off them running around all claiming to be ‘the one’.
Driving in England it was easy to stay on the left side of the road until I did a U-turn then somehow I ended up on the wrong side, briefly.
I’d prefer the General Lee, they are attainable here as so many were imported by the film company for the last Dukes remake. The Mad Max Interceptor too, was fairly close, no more Aussie V8s, not new anyway.
If that crowd of has-beens or never-wases were an A-Team*, I’d rather see the rest of the alphabet. It always struck me as odd that what was obviously a pubescent boy’s show was broadcast as general entertainment, but that was not at all entertaining, on any level.
*Yeah, I get the Special Forces reference.
I’m w/ you, General Lee!
I’d have to go with the Bond DB5. The next would be the General Lee even though it wasn’t that special of a car.
Ghostbusters – Those old Caddies are well built. They can fly down the road and you can haul anything and everything in them.
Well, if it comes with machine gun headlights and oil slicks, then James Bond it is.
IF not, then Magnum PI
The DB5. A classically beautiful car with all you need for the way things are going.
Yep, Mad Max but would like to have the DB 11 as backup
Magnum. Nothing else comes close
The Back to the Future DeLorean but ONLY if it has a working flux capacitor and hover-tires, otherwise the DB5.
The 007 DB5 is a classic worth the effort to maintain it.
I’m almost 70 years old! None of the above.
Instead, I’ll take the Lincoln Lawyer’s car.
My Hubby says the Mad Max car.
I says Baby from Supernatural…who isn’t in the pic, but, Baby will always be my 2nd love in cars…Christine (’58 Plymouth Fury) is my number 1, always and forever. ❤
I am partial to Christine too, born in ’58 and have had several younger Plymouth Furys and other models, I liked my Plymouths.
If you ever badmouth a Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth/DeSoto again, I’ll take your Mopar card away.
Mopar was great until about 1972, after that they were/are shit. Besides, I turned in my Mopar card and retained my Chevy card…
Ask my uncle what he thinks of Mopar, right now. He has a blown up Hemi pickup, that is filling a couple cylinders with coolant. He’s put a fair amount of money into that turd. Too much, to the point where he has to fix it and keep it.

You’ll be happy to know, WolfSong, that Jason Ackles and Jared Padalecki both got to keep a 67 Impala for their own, though Jason got to keep the “main” one.

1973 Ford Falcon XB GT , of course.

Definitely KITT. That car could do ANYTHING, anywhere. If you want to survive the apocalypse, that’s the one.
The Magnum Ferrari 308.
Because I could sell it and get almost all those other types of cars with the $$$
(probably excluding the Bond car).
Once upon a time, you could get a Ferrari 308 for about $20-30K. It was a lesser model. Nowadays, anything with the stallion on the yellow background commands premium bux. Alas, I’m 6’4″ and do not fit the 308, anyway. That is for 5′ 10″ guys -max. They modded the magnum car by removing the seat for Mr. Sellick to sit in it.
