There are certainly a lot of great choices to be made in the 60's. What car did you love growing up? What movie do you watch over and over just to watch a certain car or chase? I've always been a big fan of 60's and early 70's Mopars. You just don't see a lot of them around here, but you will certainly pay a premium. However, if 40k is your budget, you're going to have plenty to pick through.

I didn't watch many movies growing up. I'm with you on the Mopars, but they usually have a crazy price tag attached to them.

I love early 60's Caddys, Olds, and Lincolns. As I stated, tbirds draw my eye too. Any websites you look at for the classics would be greatly appreciated.

My recommendation: If its a fun car, get something you're passionate about, but half the fun of these older cars is working on and restoring them yourself. If its something you're going to take to work daily, do not rely on a classic car to do a good job of that. Buy something you can work on, or get ready to give your mechanic lots of money.

I'm bored, so there is a good chance that I am going to post up too many links.

You've got a good budget, which is usually the biggest problem. Take some time and look around. Don't just buy the first one that you like, keep looking. Lots of deals out there to be had if you look hard enough.

Sorry, no goats. Only Pontiac I would consider would be a late 60's Firebird. I would even consider an early 70's camaro.

Swing by a gas station and pick up an Old Car Trader. I like to flip through those things every once in awhile for the hell of it. You might also come across something you hadn't thought of since most of the time you're going to have to do a targeted search on most sites.

Good point. I always feel like Joe Dirt when I flip through those.

That's what I want, LINKS!
