Three vehicle garage. Only one rule: All vehicles must be from model year 1967! *Bonus Challenge : Find a current listing of at least one out of the three vehicles in a condition in which it could be picked up and driven back to your place the same day for under $20k (that includes fuel, oil, tires, lights, and any repairs).

Side note: 1966 is my favorite year in Autodom (obvious US bias there). What’s yours?

My grandfather had a 67 riveria, what a great looking car. Still drove like a boat.

1967 just screams Mustang to me and I’d probably pick the one above but a dream one would be a darker green and a Fastback (maybe even Shelby) but I don’t think I can find one for under 20k.

SUV probably an FJ-40. And finally probably a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow just to be weird.

I’ve never looked up entirely what were some famous cars of 1967 until now. It definitely was an amazing year.

My favorite year would have to be 1987 with the F40, 959, M3 and 190E.

Under 20k is slightly too sensible for me.

DeTomaso Mangusta (It’s like a Miura but cooler)

Monteverdi 375 High Speed Saloon (375hp Swiss limo thing)

Jensen Interceptor FF (4WD GT)

As for my favourite year for cars, probably 1992.

I love 80s and 90s cars the most, but as you can see I do have a thing for a few late 60s and 70s cars.

Citroen DS -’67 was the last year of the “frogeye” lights, and the transition year to the later models.

Citroen 2cv, because it’s my all time favorite car

MG Midget, because ‘67 - ‘69 were the best years of the Midget: it had the 1275cc engine but still had the chrome trim and grille.

You can do a 1966 Citroen DS Driver for under $20k USD pretty easily.

Chevy II SS. 327 4 speed please. To me it’s one of the best looking normal cars to be produced.

The frogeye lights look the best, but 1967 also saw the introduction of those cool lights which see around corners.

1967 Imperial LeBaron Hardtop. I’m not usually a Mopar guy, but I like the Imperial. Cadillac’s styling in the late 60s is marginally less appealing than Imperial’s. And Lincoln doesn’t really do it for me either.

I’ve got an American, now convention dictates I pick and Italian and a German.

1967 Mercedes-Benz “Grosser” 600

1967 Maserati Ghibli

As far as picking a year? 1972? The year before emission control got to the land yachts? But then again, I don’t think there was a single thing made in 1975-76 I don’t like in Cadillac, Buick, Lincoln, or Imperial. Peak malaise, and I love it!

‘67 912.

Yep, transition year. You’ll find some with frogeyes and some with the swiveling lights. I chose the frogeye purely because that’s my design for the DS.

Well, you can’t go wrong either way. xD

Here’s a ‘67 Midget for $17k in Florida. It’d be a haul, but I could probably get it back home in a day.

Yours? What a beauty. I’d go with the Mangusta though!

Yes / Thanks.... ‘67 Series I / 4.2L. Last year of the “covered” headlamps.

Absolutely stunning car, dude. The Series I was definitely the best of the 3!

I’ll take a Mercedes 600 for DD, a built Unimog for overland/truck duties, and a Miura for a fun car.
