    I didn't post my own choice because I couldn't make up my mind. I imagine I'd change my mind pretty much any time I think about it but at the moment I'm torn between a '57 Ford T-bird, a '61 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and '62 Ferrari 250 GTO.

    Not sure you could get a 250 GTO for $1M. I'd have to say if I had the money I'd have a GTO. My ultimate dream car. :D

    Oh yeah, you're right, they're going for multimillions these days. I guess I need to dig a little deeper for that one.

    The above Batmobile "the real one" is going on the Barrett Jackson this January in Scottsdale AZ. This is the fist time it has ever been for sale.

    All the others that have sold in the past have been replicas.

    A Ferrari 250 Testarossa is also at the top of my wish list. Unfortunately, the opening bid on a good one would probably exceed my $1M limit. The last one to come up for auction went for over $16M.

    That pontoon fendered Testarossa will look very good parked next to your 250 GTO. Dream big. :Thumbsup:
