Body

2-seat soft-top, light blue or silver. Timelessly styled inside and out.

Long hood, short deck, pronounced haunches. Low, long, wide stance

Elegant, flowing curves, no sharp surfaces. Beauty through restraint

Modern design, though free of the craziness that appears on new cars.

Thin-chrome window surrounds

Drivetrain

Large, smooth V12 with a flat torque band

Quiet at idle, deep, rich bellow at full throttle

8-speed auto with quick, smooth shifts and long gears

Predictable, agile, fluid handling

Acceleration to thrill, but not the focus of the vehicle

Interior

Elegant, masculine, minimalist design

Leather bucket seats, armrests, dashboard, carpets

Light-beige leather and carpers

Silver aluminum dashboard face and instrument cluster

Overall

Great setup for a date night, a trip to Palm Beach, or a spirited coastal-road drive. GT car with a sporting twist. Close match would be a DB9 Volante or an SL65.

It’s just a modern version of the car I thought of 2 years ago. I liked how everyone was so different then, let’s see if they still are.

Comfortable on long distance cruises while still being somewhat fun in the twisties if you are willing and able.

Odd shaped objects? That’s what it was made for!

Softroader. Who the fuck really NEEDS a cuv?

She even cleans up well. Perfect car? Nope! Ideal car? Noper, or even more nope! But as a one car garage car that has to live outside all year it isn’t half bad.

What is an ideal car anyway? Won’t that always be a two or more garage anyway?

To quote Walter Röhrl: “ All a man needs is a VW Van and a Porsche Turbo to always have the perfect car.” Disclaimer: His wife drove an Audi A4 wagon at the time. You might think that someone like him has a large car collection but those were all the cars his family had at the time.

So perfect ONLY car? Perfect TWO cars? Perfect THREE cars?

If I can have only one I choose the Swiss Army knife. You know, the little pocket sized one, that does a lot of stuff but not everything.

when i talk about the “ideal” car, i mean the one that i would get the most fulfilment driving........ so this frame,(ford model T)

2 door coupe model T body, 1927, there abouts........ lowered over some k5 blazer axles, geared to around 4.10:1 .....

with a manual 4 speed muncie trans, and a divorced transfer box, behind a

361 small block chevy( 4.155 bore, 3.35 stroke) ascs stuffs, but with a tunnel ram, and high rpm set up, with stupid light weight internals....

but with tin covers, and badly painted over, so that it doesnt look like anything special........

sitting on some wide tires all the way around........

i already been in the process of scooping up parts to make it happen....... its just a real slow process.........
