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

[Corollaman]

1969 Mustang Boss 429
I also like the Mercury Cougars from that era, I remember seeing a Cougar Eliminator...cool car names back in the day.

 

[andrew_j]

Ford GT40 in 60s and same for my 2000s car.

 

[Allaneddie]

1960 Chrysler 300F convertible

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. View attachment 192670

Is that your Pontiac too?

 

[turboseize]

Depending on the maintenance budget either a Mercedes w109 - or a Beetle.
Hmm. Times are getting uncertain... Beetle gets sent to basic training, so make that 181.

Although a Borgward B2000 A/O would be rather interesting, too. And more practical. But spare parts situation might be challenging.

If the 60s include 1970, then it's easy: Citroen SM.

I am going plucked chicken and say 62 300H. Or 60 Imperial. Certainly a 64 Studebaker Challenger R3. Any of the late 60s Opel V8s. I'm sure that there are a lot more if I think about it. V12 Gmc, gas or diesel.

I like the '61 300G. I prefer that version of the deck lid.

Listen to you getting all uppity with your '67 and 12 volts!

(I had a '66.)

Family had a 67 and they had upped the HP that year. It was fast up to about 50-60 then settled down.

1963 Jaguar XKE Roadster in red with tan leather. Fell in love when I was 6 years old.

My BIL and sister live in Gig Harbor. You may have seen my 68 as well.
Mark just had the FI unit worked on; there is a guy east of Sacramento who has a fix for the famous vapor lock issue.
He has 3 units and has become pretty knowledgeable. I think he should write a book...

This.
An absolutely gorgeous car to my eyes and there is at least one still in existence.
Should be streetable by the FIA rules of the time and would even need to have some luggage space.
On a more practical level, this would be neat:

Cousin's husband had one of those. Under the hood there was a metal plate stating to use 10-60 motor oil.

Yes. Mark was the high end granite guy up there in the SeaTac area. He has a real eye for detail. Some uber rich guy he did a $20K granite kitchen for had several Vettes; I hear he had an aluminum head 427 '67 that was concours.
He sold Mark the basket case '62 for a really fair price. Mark spent years finding numbers components; the correct block, etc. Of course paint and glass work is stupid expensive. I think he has $100K into this beauty.

He got the bug from me when he drove my '68 one day. He went back to Warshington and bought a '69 BB Coupe. Then he built a nasty roller motor for it, just because. He has 3 Mechanical FI units and has become pretty knowledgeable.

A 330 P3?
Wow!
Is it just me, or does most of the really interesting stuff from the sixties tend to be either Italian or Brit with the occasional German thrown in?

 

[Shel_B]

1963-64 Sport Fury convertible with Golden Commando engine and 4-speed manual transmission, although the Torqueflite will suffice.

 

[MrStamper]

66’ Super Snake.

[tbm3fan]

Well I have four already from the 60s. Given that I'll have to go with my first car when I got my license in 1969. I took care of it when my father bought it and then I bought it from him when I turned 16 and it is in the garage now. 1970 and 2022.
