Cars of the 60s

Pontiac Firebird Transam 1969 One of The Coolest Car from the 60's 
 

Prices From $4,366
 

This car still looks every bit of a muscle car today as it did then
 

Ford Galaxie 500XL Skyliner With large engines , sporty feel and luxury 



Cost $3350.00 in 1962 

A change in how Ford marketed cars started with the Galaxie and amongst other things the large round tail lights which appeared on later models of Falcon and Fairlane
 

Chevrolet Corvette The First two seater sports car from General Motors 



The All American Sports car with Fiberglass Bodyshell and V8 Engine 


Ford GT 40 Ford with help from Lola Racing 
 

The GT40 was developed with just 1 thing in mind to win the Le Mans 24hr Race and Beat Ferrari but the road cars still achieved 0 to 60 in 5 seconds
 

Jaguar E Type Truly one of the great classic cars to appear in the 60's 



Price From $5990 in 1960 

This had to be one of the most recognized sports cars in the world in the 60's which came in Soft Roadster and Fixed Head Coupe versions




Alfa Romeo Spider The Same Price as an E Type but remembered by many as the car from the Graduate and the music of Simon and Garfunkel 



Introduced in 1966 it's very own unique Italian styling 

Austin Mini Coopper S This was one of the cars that epitomized the 60's and who can forget the original Italian Job 
 

Price Mini Cooper $1595 and Mini Cooper S $1950

With it's front wheel drive and small size with terrific handling it put many larger and more powerful cars in their place and earned the place of many hearts from the Boomer Generation
 

BMW Isetta Bubble Car My Mum had one of these when I was a kid with no reverse gear so she would drive it into the drive and I would push it out of the drive on to the road each morning 

 

Price $2,250
