1. 1969 Dodge Charger: Second-generation Chargers have the best looking body style in history, plus it's the "General Lee."
2. 1969½ Plymouth Road Runner (A12 package): This car (along with the virtually identical A12-package 1969½ Dodge Super Bee) was the quintessential "muscle car." It had zero fluff, i.e., it came with a spartan interior (bench seats, no center console) and plain stamped steel wheels, the kind that are intended to be covered by hubcaps, but it didn't come with hubcaps, which might be the only time in history that that's ever happened with a street-legal production car. All of the money you spent on the A12 package went toward performance. It had the same heavy duty suspension, cooling system, and brakes that Chrysler's B-body police package cars had, plus it had the first (and best) incarnation of the 440 Six Barrel engine (the Dodge version was called "440 Six Pack"), along with a liftoff, blacked-out fiberglass hood with a giant, functional hood scoop molded into it. It ran mid-12s in the quarter-mile, bone stock, making it the fastest-accelerating production car in existence at the time. With some headers, tuning, and slicks, you could easily get it into the 11s.
3. 1966 Ford Fairlane GT: I like the body style and my father had one that he bought brand new (the only new vehicle that he ever bought). Unfortunately, it was long gone by the time I was born, but I've seen pictures of it.
