Favorite Car of the 1960s (1 Viewer)

1969 COPO Camaro. Body colored steel wheels and no external badging. Under the hood was the fearsome 427 aluminum block ZL1 engine with 425 HP. It was a sleeper

i see badges. liar.

The badge just says "Camaro". Of course the dual exhaust will give something away, but there's nothing to indicate the car has a 427.

Didn't the old Chevy Vegas have a 4.11 rear?

Seem to remember a buddy of mine to used to do some dirt track racing telling me that the Vega rear ends were highly sought after in the racing community.

Maybe it was the Citation, or both.

That car sure doesn't look like a sleeper to me. Lol. But yeah, the simple but effective presentation works.

That said. I've always been a bit more partial to the more flashy looking cars, like the Pontiacs and Dodges back in the day.

My dream car for today would be the Caddy CT6-V or CTS-V Sport. Sigh, someday, someday, lol.

I'll add in the 1963 Jaguar XKE. Curves are wonderful.

Technically not a production car , but very cool for a mullet-toter ...

Around here they were doing the V-8 swap in the Vegas. Drop in the 350 SBC and a Nova front end, and it was off to the tracks.

For production car I'd go with the 1969 Corvette 427 already mentioned.

It all depends on the gear ratio. Indy cars for example are geared tall and need to be pushed out of the pits, They are not built for
the 1/4 mile. They are built for top end speed

While this is true, I suspect my Pacifica can take a '67 Stang (289) on the top end too.

The station wagon version wasn't bad either

If the era is 60's and you must Ford , this is the correct answer ...
