I'm sure I've posted all of these ideas elsewhere on the forum but:
Most Recent: A Maserati V8 + 6 speed in an E36 coupe, because LS swaps are played out and it'd piss off so many Ferrari people.
Most Persistent: A resto-modded E31 8-series (or E38 7-series) with an S85 V10 + 6 speed (or LSx variant), Airride suspension, electronic exhaust cuttouts, really, really well done interior etc. I've literally been fantasizing about building something like that for years now. I want to do the build more than I even want the car, too bad I don't have any rich co-workers with similar automotive fetishes so I could help them waste their money on one.
Most Unrealistic I've always wanted to take a Series III E-type 2+2 coupe, strip it down to bare metal, chop the roof, simplify the styling, swap in a built BMW S38 (similar in spirit to the original motor, but better), modernize the brakes and suspension as much as possible, etc. It'd be a perfect "poor man's" Eagle Speedster, in that you might be able to get it done for like $150k instead of $500k+
