1969 Alfa Romeo GTV
Sounds cheesy but........The 911 from a few years ago was the most beautiful car ever..........to me at least.
It looked so organic, yet so powerful.
It didn't resemble anything remotely mechanical..........to me at least.
Nice selection. Here are some of my favourite shapes...

My dad had a '64 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Riverside Red, black leather,
327/350hp. He bought it at the Denver Auto Auction for $5k in 1973, a week after I was born. I cried when he sold it last year for $61K.

Dammit, I thought I'd get all fancy and bust out the GTO and Muira...no comparison, IMO.
I fondled an unrestored (fuckin' cherry though) GTO at the Ferrari museum outside San Marino. Priapism is a bitch!
Edit: Under 10K. Well, of your list, Buster, I've always been a fan of the 2002. You can find some good ole American muscle for that price range (in marginal shape). The original Hemis have a look I've always liked.
Roo - Good call on the Khamsin.
A school friend's father restored cars for a living and he got a Khamsin in some convoluted car swap.
We took it to the old Ford motorsport center at Boreham airfield and my mate and I both had it going flat out down the runway - at age 16.
Buster - the GTV without a doubt and that Stradale makes me feel funny in my pants.

That has to be the exact car that Ace & Gary's car from that SNL cartoon was modeled after.
To each his own I guess but man..........that car is fugly.

The coolest panoz ever, the one Ive seen personally was this irridescent shiny black with hints of orange, gold and purple. Im color blind so i cant describe it better other than it was pure sex.
