Pretty much in order:
1. 1989 Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe, 5 speed (currently owned)
2. 2004 Pontiac GTO
3. 1993 Ford Mustang Special Service coupe (owned 3, would own another in a heartbeat)
4. 2000 BMW M3 coupe
5. 2003 Ford Mustang Mach1
6 1977 Chevrolet Monza Spyder (owned 2):I'd exchange the 5.0 V8 with a vortec 350
7. 1978 Pontiac Trans Am T/A 6.6 with the WS6 package
8. 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC
9. 2002 Lincoln LS (I'd have to change the axle ratio & replace the rear resonatators with straight chrome pipes)
10. 2003 Mustang Cobra

Bonus vehicles:
11. The 2003 Ford SVT Lightning!
12. 1997 Impala SS

All either in black or midnight blue, except the Monza Spyder, which for some odd reason looks best in yellow, and the Trans Am which I'd take either in Black or the metallac medium blue that came from the factory that year.

Wild card car?
The Cadillac CTSv
(It's just my bizzare view, but spending more than 60 grand on any car is just showing off. )

Wow, being on a college kid budget really limits things I figure I can only afford about ~12k so that makes this hard

1. 1997 Pontiac Trans Am WS6
2. 2000 Chevrolet S10 Xtreme
3. 1993 GMC Typhoon (that's really streching)
4. 1992 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 L98
5. 1991 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT

That's all I can come up with that I can afford. If I get a job out of college that pays well I'd add

6. 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
7. 2004 Pontiac GTO
8. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28/RS
9. 2002 Ford F150 Lightning

And the wild card

10. 2003 Ferrari F360
