Cool '60's rides that are under the radar!

While everyone fights with machetes over 64-72 GM A-bodies-i.e.-GTOSs, 442s, SS Chevelles, 68-70 Chrysler B bodies-Road Runners, Chargers, Super Bees and GTXs, and 64-70 Mustangs, if you know what to look for there are some awesome cars you can find for way less than the traditional musclecar choices. # 1 1962-64 Ford Thunderbird. Often called the "Bullet Bird" because of the shape of the rear fenders, these cars are way cool in coupe or convertible trim. I could see Frank Sinatra driving one. With 390 cubes under the hood, they move as good as they look.  Probably not cheap, but still less than what most people ask for restored Mustangs. # 2 1963-65 Buick Riviera. Bill Mitchell's masterpiece. Futuristic styling that turns heads even 40+ years later, Cadillac like luxury and 401 cubes under the hood. Patrick Swayze drove two of them in the movie "Roadhouse".  #3 1966-67 Dodge Charger. Snubbed by everyone in favor of the wildly more popular 1968-70 "Dukes of Hazzard" model, these cars are cool even if your not a Mopar collector. Swoopy fastback, hidden headlight styling, unique 4-bucket seat interior, and long wheelbase make them comfortable cruisers even now. Forget Hemi versions, you can't afford one without selling your house; also avoid 318 versions-their the "Old" 318-nothing in common with the later LA or Magnum small-blocks, and they have the double curse of no power and crappy gas mileage. The 361 and 383 versions are the ones to have. Their a big-block and run pretty good stock, or there is a ton of aftermarket speed equipment out there for these engines, or a 440 would swap in very easily. # 4 1967-68 Pontiac Gran Prix. The last "Big" GP-in 1969 they switched to the A-body (Chevelle, Monte Carlo, Cutlass, LeMans ) chassis.  Like the Charger these cars had cool fastback, hidden headlight styling and roomy interiors, as well as 400 or 428 cubes under that long hood. Ray Liotta drove a 68 model in "Goodfellas".  # 5 1966-70 Olds Toronado. Space-shuttle styling and Caddy-like luxury. If you live where it snows, the convenience of front-wheel drive. Don't scoff-with 425 or 455 cubes under that long hood, these 4400lb cars could still rocket down the 1/4 in 15 flat!  Like the one driven by George Stark in "The Dark Half"- A high toned son of a bitch!  Mastermind
