Since HS I wanted a Fiero (ya, I know they burn up!) and as an old guy I wanted to find that pristine unicorn and drop a "manly" engine and a matching 5 speed in that lightweight package.....
.......Not so much anymore.
Only old school vehicle that remains on my dream list is a 1990 Mustang GT project.

- Toyota Previa, AWD supercharged mid-engine egg.
- Already mentioned, but squarebody Dodge Dakota, 3.9+manual.
- Dodge Ramcharger, 318 & 4x4.
- Isuzu Pup/Chevy LUV come to mind. Don't exactly miss them, but miss the configuration. Would love to have a small truck with a 3 or 4 or 5 cylinder turbo diesel and a manual transmission. 4x4 is a bonus.
- Toyota Cressida wagon.
- MK3 Toyota Supra. MK4 is ugly... SC300/SC400 are cool in my book though. Especially with a manual.
If budget was unlimited - I'd get a Double Cab 5-lug Tacoma, with a T-56 or TR-6060 manual and an overbuilt 400HP Volvo 5-banger turbo under the hood. Sleeper city truck with a glorious V10-like sound accompanied by turbo noises. My life would be complete.
