A TBD. The only ones known to exist are all at the bottom of the ocean. Probably those in the best condition were found near the sunken wreck of USS Lexington.

For an aircraft, it would be the B-36.  I attended several airshows back in the day that featured fly-bys of that plane.  The noise was awesome.  3 big radial recips, and four jets!

I would love to see an unlimited hydro boat race again, now that there is a recip on the series.  I live far from any unlimited venue, but used to live in Detroit, where the Silver Cup was held every year on the Detroit River.  Even though it was a pretty big course, far turn was a couple of miles away from my vantage point, even when the boats were at far turn the engine noise was awesome.  Love to see an unlimited even where ALL the boats used recips.

For cars, I occasionally attend vintage racing events, especially the one in Milwaukee.  I see really old racing cars running around the Milwaukee track.  Really spectacular.  Worth attending for old racing car fans.

For me, without question, that would be a Ju 87. Though from a post on here a few days back, that wish might be coming true before to long.

 

I think I recall reading about that somewhere else too!

As a devotee, jointly, of 'what might have been' in aviation...and an admirer of our neighbors to the north...one candidate springs right to mind:

the Avro ARROW

My red '60 Chevy convertible with white upholstery, white top, warmed over 348 with trip deuces, cam and solid lifters, turnpike cruiser skirts and large continental kit. Also removed the mufflers and ran with only caddy resonators mounted in the rear quarter panels (legal in '60). My 2 cents, the most beautiful land yacht ever.  I owned it and wished I still had it.

An F-111 fuel dump low pass at night would be one, though getting my truck back up is first on the listSad

So after looking at Bish’s fantastic Me 410 build, I commented how wonderful it would be to see one of these beautiful birds restored back to flying condition.  So how about you? What military or civilian vehicle would you like to see restored back to its former glory and in running condition? 

For me, I‘d love to see, and hear, a black Bf 110D Nachtjager take flight once again!

 

Same here to see a Bf 110 night fighter start up and take off would be amazing.

XB-70 Valkyrie.  Beautiful as a swan, but stranger than science fiction.
