How about my 1960 Corvette? Bought new 10/1959; sold 42 years later (didn't want my son to kill himself in it). Unrestored, all original except engine (327-365HP), 4 speed, 4.11 positraction. Honduras maroon exterior, black interior, white soft top.






Basically, a 1953 Chevy pickup truck chassis; no power anything; drum brakes; death trap steering column with no collapsible section for impaling the driver. No regrets selling, as it needed restoration (wiring crumbling, paint still glossy but many imperfections; didn't want to keep it as a "survivor" or do a resto-mod. Soooo much happier with my XKR, particularly with all the safety stuff and AC here in Joja!

 

Stuart, thats an absolutely cool car of iconic proportions. I thought it odd that they specified just the '63-67 generation.

Thanks, Bruce. Other 60's models, both from the USA and Europe, with iconic proportions were Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Ursula Andress and others.
