Choose ONE car from your birth year

[Payman]

You will be given ONE car only from the year of your birth. I could choose a '68 Ferrari 330, Daytona, Dino, a Lambo Muira, a 427 Corvette, among others, but I
choose a 1968 Charger:

[the Teuton]

1987 Porsche 959

[Raghavan]

Either that or a 944.
Can't make up my mind.

[JYODER240]

I miss the F40 by 1 year so I'll take the 959.

[the Teuton]

I really like the GNX, too, though, but I'd rather have 2.85 liters of turbocharged fury over 3.8.

[CALL_911]

964 Turbo

[SVT666]

Iffy has a sense of humour.

[SVT666]

1977 Ferrari 308

[CALL_911]

my dad's car

Dammit, not a whole lot of excitement out there in 1982.  I'll have to think about this one.

1962 Corvette:

You're sure right about that, man.  I remember it well.  A terribly dismal period for automobiles, unless you liked plain, ugly cars that couldn't get out of their way, and crapped out after 50,000 miles.

NO FAIR! I have the worst birth year hands down as far as this question is concerned (1980)

In spite of that, I did manage to remember this beauty:

1980 was a terrible year for cars.  That was the year that Jimmy Carter hailed the production of the Ford Escort as the answer to competition from the Japanese manufacturers.... [and he hasn't gotten any smarter in the intervening years..]

Wait..

A car that debuted in your birth year or a car that was available in your birth year?

[dazzleman]

I thought it meant a car that was available in your year of birth.

Of course, when I was born, cars hadn't been invented yet....

Available.

[Payman]

Pirate, how about a nice '82 Ferrari 512BB?

[Payman]

Here's another for you late '70s early '80s guys:

[CJ]

Is there anything for '92?

[Raza]

[CJ]

I can't see it.

[saxonyron]

In a heartbeat, it would be.... 



1964 Stingray Roadster

You picked the same car I did, but apparently, the look changed in the two years between when I was born and when you were born.

LOL it's unfortunate that Ford may have taken that compliment a little too seriously

I've always been madly in love with the 63 to 67 Stingrays.  The 62 was the last year for the more original styling, and is definitely beautiful in its own right.  But I can remember reading the Want Ad when I was in High School around 1980 or so - you could buy a numbers matching 63 to 67 with the 427 for around $18,000.  Now, a little closer to $60 or $70k. It would have been an appreciating asset!

See what happens when you delay gratification?
