    Not all the links work. I’d get the 1962 Lincoln. Personally I’m not really into sports cars, and think it would be a more comfortable ride.

    1. ‘67 mustang. Similar classic styling to the earlier models, but a little bigger and more geared toward performance (more of a “guy” car). Sporty but with room for passengers and cargo.
    2..’62 lincoln. Classic boat, great ride, load up 8 friends and head to the beach!
    3. ‘72 ‘vette. Cool cars, but in my family of 3 somebody would have to stay home when I drive it.

  • Mark:

    All cool cars. How many friends do you want to take along for the ride?

    I like older Mustangs but I see them all the time on the road. Probably the best choice for a combination of passenger capacity and sportiness.

    I like the C3 Corvettes too. I see these fairly regularly too. Best choice for performance. If I already had a car that could seat a few people; this would be my choice.

    Those Lincolns are really nice. I rarely see one on the road. The suicide back doors are very cool. The worst choice for performance but the best for exclusivity.

    You really should get all three. That’s what Jay would do.

    I’d love to have the Corvette but I may go with the Lincoln because it’s more rare.

  • Johnathon:

    the 1972 Chevrolet Corvette. I’ve never been a fan of the big boats or the cheap little pony. The Stingray looks pretty cool,although I know today’s version is light-years ahead.

    I took a look at all three of those cars. Initially, I might have chosen the Mustang, which is beautifully restored, but decided against it because it’s a six-cylinder model. The V8 models from that year had the engine displacement (289 Ci or 390 Ci) on the top of the pony badge on either side of the car, but the one you showed doesn’t have it. That means it’s got the 200 Ci six, and doesn’t have enough horsepower to get out of its own way. I can’t see the interior, but it’s probably got the 3-speed COM automatic, too. Slush box! A 390 model would be more valuable than a 289, and only a four-on-the-floor model would appeal to me in either case.

    The ‘62 Continental is valuable to a collector because of the “suicide” rear doors, and the fact that it’s one of the only four-door convertibles ever designed. Aside from that curiosity, it’s a lead sled, like every other Lincoln from that era (or any era). It would get around 10 MPG and would be even slower than the Mustang. Jay Leno might like it, but no interest here.

    Be default, that leaves the Corvette. That generation ‘Vette (C3) is not my favorite, but it’s a ragtop, and it’s red. But best of all, it has the 454 Ci V8, which was rated at 425 HP. This fact alone gets my salivary glands going. This was the last of the big power ‘Vettes to be produced for over a decade, and is still one of the fastest American cars ever produced. I’d own it – if I could afford it, which is highly unlikely.
