    I think 1967 was a great year for cars.

    The engines had gotten more powerful by then and every car had a unique style to it.

    Curious, if you could buy any car that was made in 1967, in like-new condition, which car would you buy?

    -----------

    My choice would be the 1967 Lamborghini Miura.
    Always thought it was one of the most beautiful cars every made.

    The question is own and drive-not just look at-

    For some reason I gathered up some of the best 67 had to offer:

    Ferrari GTC
    Corvette coupe
    911S
    Cobra
    XKE
    Hemi Coronet
    Pontiac GTO
    Lamborghini 400GT
    Shelby GT350

    I owned most of these at the same time so I have a pretty good idea of how they compare.
    As thrilling as the Cobra was I could never get comfortable in it and just didn't feel I could fully extend its capabilities, a superstar though
    The GTC was of course, a wonderful device and, IMO, the best of the bunch money being no object
    the Corvette is fast, sounds great, shifts fantastic, looks spectacular and is easy to own
    XKE is smooth, classic styling, drifts nicely,sounds delightful and not as tempermental as expected
    Pontiac-great fun, handles pretty good, Tri-Power awesome, quality built musclecar,tough
    Lamborghini was the best sounding of the group, smooth, great GT and a build quality as good as the 330 or better
    Shelby looked great, handled well, loved the inboard headlights,sounded cool
    The Hemi is one menacing ride, understated and powerful at the same time, massive power, great sound, fair handling, open road performance was impressive with room for four
    911 perfect size and visibility, best in the canyons, willing partner and best steering feel

    I guess I have a thing for that era.

    First choice would be a 275 GTB 4. Second a 1967 Mustang Fastback. Shelby would be nice, but not required.

    Yes, the 1967 Corvette was the last year of the C2 Mid-Year cars.
    The only year that came with the "stinger hood" as an option and the 5 slits on the side of the front fender.

    I would like to have the 1967 Ferrari 330GTC back that I sold for $70k a decade or so ago.

    Slight aside, but how many GT 40 Mk III cars were built? I seem to remember 7. Good choice, though! Can I retract my DB 6 nomination & steal the GT 40?

    P3/4 and 910, which happen to be my two favorite all-time cars.
