I was a teen through most of the '60s so grew up during the super car era. I of course couldn't afford any of the cars I dreamed about or even a plain jane car. Here's my list anyway with the stipulation that these are the cars I would have bought looking back if I could have afforded them.
1960-1961: one of the Chrysler 300 "letter" cars
1962: Ferrari GTO
1963: Chevrolet Bel Air with a 409 and 4-speed
1964: Plymouth max wedge 4-speed
1965: Dodge Coronet max wedge 4-speed
1966-1967: Plymouth Belvedere with a hemi and 4-speed in Petty blue
1968: Dodge Charger with the 440 and auto
1969: Plymouth Roadrunner with a hemi and auto
1970: Plymouth Superbird with a hemi and auto
1971: Dodge Challenger with a hemi and auto
1972: Pantera
To add a little clarification: I first was a Mopar buff as was my dad. I didn't become bitten by the Camaro bug until rather late, 1975. I also have Italian heritage on my dad's side thus the Italian super car love. These are the cars I would have bought new in the respective years based on my love and emotions at that time for all automotive.
