If you have one car from the 60's, what would it be?

Beetles are awesome. Everyone I knew with a VW bus had forever mechanical issues, including my late Grandmother (she had the VW bus Westfield camper). On a good VW bus experience, my Grandmother's VW bus transported my 1970's era Yamaha 80 cc motorcycle from my cousins' to me.

One of my psychology profs drove a 1970ish VW bus. He was bearded, wore old jeans and denim shirts, talked of exploring the limits of human consciousness, and drank a lot. The VW suited him perfectly.

I moved away but visited a couple of years later. A big new Plymouth wagon had replaced the VW. He said "Two engines and three transmissions in a hundred thousand miles - it got expensive to maintain the image".

No limits? (meanwhile thinking of organs I could sell and still drive...) I've only sat in one, a racer w/ a different body style at Lime Rock.

The real GTO

Yep, I'd take one of these, rent a nice safe track with huge run off areas, do a few proper laps, and then sell it.

For 60's cars the 62-64 Facel Vega with a 383 Chrysler or a Toyota 2000 GT, both are works of art not just a car. XKE comes third.

I already have mine… 1963 Cadillac. However, I wouldn’t mind a ‘60-‘62 Cadillac, ‘67-68 Eldorado, ‘61-‘62 Imperial, ‘60 Ford/Edsel/Mercury hardtop coupe, ‘60 full-size GM car, or ‘60-‘61 Dodge/Plymouth/DeSoto/Chrysler.

Probably a 66 Vette!

Is that a coating that covers your driveway ?

 

[Toy4x4]

1969 Chevelle in silver, modernized to drive anywhere (ie: modern engine, trans, suspension interior, electronics, etc)

Actually I have a 66 Cadillac Deville now that I really enjoy! But if I had the chance would no doubt want a nice 67 427 Corvette and a 67 Cadillac Eldorado. Those would do me just fine!

 

[JHZR2]

Diesel fintail Mercedes w110.

Or anything big block. I’m not picky.

 

[paulo57509]

1962 Pontiac Catalina, 421-SD, 4-speed.

 

[meep]

I’m probably in the old benz or Volvo crowd on this one. Or jag.

 

[MCompact]

Either an Iso Grifo or a Miura P400S- although I wouldn't kick a W113 280SL out of the garage...

If I had to be limited to one car that I previously owned from that era, I guess it would be the '68 Pontiac GTO.

Other 60's cars that I drove or saw, would be:
The new '67 Corvette roadster that a cousin owned. He allowed me to drive it at age 15 (no license) and taught me to use a manual trans.
The '63 or '64 AC Shelby Cobra that I saw for sale at a used foreign car lot in 1968. Asking price $6k, which I believe is what it sold for new.
The '62 Galaxie 406, 3-2 bbl. convertible that I saw in a Ford showroom.
The '64 Plymouth Sport Fury with 426 max wedge that I saw in a Chry/Plymouth showroom.

That's not my driveway. The picture was taken at the previous owner's place when I bought the car 13 years ago. As I recall, it was just asphalt. Maybe it needed sealing badly. It was a few hundred miles away and I haven't been back there.

*Edit-
Here's an overhead view from Google. It looks the same.
