You just won the MegaMillions Lottery.

What car/truck/van do you buy with your new riches?

I'd get a MB E63 AMG.

Probably other sweet rides also in the future, but that is a nice start.
 
1950 Mercury.

I saw one of these at a car show last week and I fell in love.

I would get some other cars too. I would probably build some fast Mustang myself, and I would probably spend way too much money completely restoring my 94 Explorer

I think I have a weird taste in cars...
 
I'd buy a garage like Jay Leno has - staffed with geniuses to build stuff and I'd buy every 1970/71 Lincoln Mk III I can get my hands on and then restore every one of them to pristine condition, except for one, which will be customized beyond belief.
 
I would definitely go for a restored muscle car, maybe a 70 Road Runner, a Boss 302 Maverick, Mustang or something like that. Would also like an old pickup from the 50s or 60s.

THAT would be a rare car!

But I imagine you mean 1963 Fuelie, 327/360hp.
 
I would keep my Dakota and buy my daughter a nice car, probably a brand new Honda Accord. If I bought myself any other car it would probably be a good condition late 80's Mercedes 560 SEC. That, or maybe an early 70's Super Duty Trans Am. If I could find one I would like to own a restored or good condition 1977 Toyota Celica GT Liftback, and a '79 thru '81 Celica GT or Supra.
 
Mine would be "The flavors of forced induction":

Buick Park Avenue Ultra (L67 supercharged 3800 V6), then mod the daylights out of the engine and transmission so they don't blow up when it's making far more power than stock. Keep it stock looking, sounding and riding so passers-by and passengers can't tell it's got a secret. After that would be a tuned Cruze Eco (LUJ turbocharged Ecotec I4) for the daily driver.

Somewhere would be upgrading the man cave to hold all the automotive stuff for the occasion WHEN something breaks after modding it.

Or a 12 cylinder Packard...maybe a boat-tail speedster (though most of those were super-8s...)

I like it!


Actually I should buy my brother's spare Mustang he is going to sell. It's a 1982 5.0 with a manual transmission:
