An ISO Grifo...but I'd be totally fine with a Mercedes 300SL or Citroen SM, like this:

Lancia Stratos, specifically the Group 5. Though I'll take any Stratos I'm given.
Easily my favourite car ever.

Aside from wide left turns, low MPG, and product placement, I think this could be cool.
Otherwise, any old 1980's Mercedes-Benz sedan or Porsche 911 would do. I'm a man of simple, boring tastes.

One of the most beautiful automobile designs ever, IMO.
Agreed. My mom's ex-boyfriend knew a guy who had a black one (back in the 70's). The engine cover would regularly blow right off above 80mph. He only kept it for about a 2 yrs.

1976 Aston Martin Lagonda
The ultimate hacker's car.
This was an exotic hybrid of sport and luxury, totally electronically-controlled by state-of-the-art-at-that-time digital technology., including an all-electronic dashboard display.
Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art of digital technology wasn't terribly advanced in the mid-late '70s, so most of these cars still on the road are plagued with electronics issues.
It would be cool though, to get one of these cars and mod the fuck out of it. I'd like to hack it to run off a Linux PC, replace its original LED instrument panel with a TFT LCD display and add GPS, EVDO cellular Internet access, HD-DVD playing capability with backseat passenger displays, rear video camera for parallel parking, etc.

porsche 550 spyder. unfortunately the car is clouded by all that james dean bullshit. but it is a cool little roadster.
the classic ferrari 250. v-12. beautiful.
maserati 250 - from about 1957. I saw one of these once, it was the most beautiful little street-legal race car. the fender came up just beyond my knee.
what can I say, I am a sucker for the old fashioned open roadsters.
