1955 Chris-Craft Cobra

Only 51 of these were ever produced and the holy grail is the 21’ with either the Chrysler M45S 200 hp Hemi or Cadillac CM 285 hp Marine engine. This beauty is a cellulose hulled monster. Compared to the the fiberglas boats of today, the amount of power required to propel this vessel is exhilarating as you throttle up and max out at 55 mph with the Caddy power plant.

FYI: Alfa Romeo invented the hemispherical piston engine (not Chrysler).

Alfa Romeo GTV6

My 1986 Alfa GTV6 - Shot on W 26th Street Manhattan

This little coup is an absolute beast, designed by legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro who also designed the De Lorean DMC-12, Lotus Esprit S1, Nikon FM3-6 and D3 cameras and countless other fantastic objects.  My swedish buddy Nick talks me into getting one and turning it in to a track car, I go along with it and find a quickly creeping smile streaking across my face every time I drive it. Lot's of quirks but fairly easy to fix. It can easily take cars 4 times the price. When I bought her I fitted yellow Koni racing shocks, and new tires. Then we had a bored out 3.2L V6 custom engine built in South Africa, with modern engine manegment. She now lives some where in South Africa with her other siblings. I had one really good speeding ticket (135MPH) with her but it was well worth it. As my dad used to say drive as fast as you want as long as you can pay for it, it took me years to realize it wasn't a statement about money.
