Friday Fun – Three Car Dream Garage from Dead Brands
Isn't it great spending other people's money? Or money you don't actually have? That's the idea behind this challenge.
The task is simple. We’re going to rewind things back and assemble a three-vehicle fantasy garage of your choosing, but you must follow these two simple rules:
- All vehicles must be from defunct manufacturers no longer producing automobiles.
- You cannot select the same manufacturer twice.
My Choices
1970 Plymouth Superbird
I’ve always had a soft spot for these massive-winged monsters. Make mine with the HEMI 426, even if the 440 was the better racing engine. I want the full nostalgia.
2006 Mosler MT900S
Mosler made some of the ugliest supercars in history, but this is not one of them. Sleek and gorgeous, the MT900S could be had with a supercharged LS7 making over 600 hp.
1995 Tommykaira ZZ-S
Now that I have my classic muscle car and modern supercar, it’s time to round out my list with a track toy. For that I am heading to Japan to find one of the few elusive Tommykaira ZZ-S cars that were produced.
Now It's Your Turn
Ok, that finishes my list. Now it's your turn. Have fun and let me know your three-car garage!

I'm weird... 1985 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency Brougham 4 Dr in Midnight Blue & 1994 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi in Bright Red. So I'm a nerd! 🤓
