My dream car is a 1958 Plymouth Fury, converted to electric. Many many money, but I'm of the mind that we should bring back wingtips for cars, dammit!

But how else would she satiate her desire for human flesh in the modern world? Glad you got it! Fell in love with the car after reading the book when I was a young tween hahah

1958 Plymouth Fury

Oh! Beautiful! How much would that set you back?

People always telling me to dream bigger and 50-something, but like... 50 something is doable. I dont wanna dream the impossible.

It would set me back so much. I'd have to find someone willing to sell one, and probably have it imported to Aus from the US. Convert to electric, and work out the laws around the drivers seat being on the other side (can also convert, but I'm pretty sure one can put a sign up in the car for other drivers). Also, any maintenance would be exxy, as I'm sure I'd have to have custom parts made or imported. Hence, dream car!

At least yours is feasible! A goal to work towards!

Yikes yeah that does sound expensive as. Bit more future proof than my dinosaur though. Fuel prices hit 5 or 10 bucks a liter and I'm screwed.

I'd love an EV conversion of the Volvo p1800, god that is a sexy car.
