I got close, born in 63, my SC coupe, the white one, is a 64. My buddies B is actually a 63. Before owning it, it wouldn't necessarily have been my 1st choice, but it is now. The only thing better might be a cab.

'59 718 RSK would be cool. I might even convert it to the center seat version.

Today’s my 50th birthday, and this one is easy - a 911. Already own one (albeit not a ‘74), so…check!

Whoops..this came up on the other board. Evidently, I was wrong about no cars made during the WWII years...well, sorta.
"While some of those '42 model cars were converted to military use, no cars, commercial trucks, or auto parts were made from February 1942 to October 1945. So there were no 1943, '44 or '45 models. [However], some government records show that the auto industry (Chevrolet) built 139 cars in 1943 and 610 in 1944. ---CBS Ch.13 WKCG"

1970, so that's a tough one. Lots of great American muscle in 1970. I'm not a huge fan of most of the sports cars from 1970 (I prefer the older cars of the 50s and 60s because they are usually better looking).
Here's a few options muscle Chevelle LS6 Buick GSX HEMI ‘Cuda Ford Boss 429 sports Lamborghini Miura P400 S Ferrari 365GTB/4 (althought the 2+2 is a prettier car) Porsche 911 S < edit > Jaguar XKE < /edit > Based on the list above, I'd probably go with the Miura. I love the other cars. I love muscle cars, but probably prefer sports cars just a bit more (although those are the cream of the muscle crop). And while I'm sure the '70 911 S is a great vehicle and I'd give a testicle to own a good copy today, I'd have to go with the Miura. < edit > I have to revise my answer, I'm not sure which I would choose between the Miura and the XKE, but I think I'm leaning toward the XKE.
