1969, you are 25 years old and you just came into some money and decided to buy a new [American] car for your everyday uses, what would be your top three choices in the order of the most desired.
My picks:

Ford Mustang Boss 429

There are so many to choose from in 69. Mine will be all mopars. Dart GTS, Plymouth Roadrunner, Dodge Coronet.

I was around in 1969 and did buy a muscle car....it was a Buick Skylark hardtop GS 400. A torque monster but like all US made cars back then, quality control was minimal. I had friends who had examples from Ford and Dodge which were no better.

For me, 69 will be hard to pick just three cars. Camaro RS SS, Road Runner, Mustang Boss 302.

You have a '70 AMX pictured. I love the '70.
John B. this era of AMX and Javelin were very attractive and fast cars. I don't think they were rightfully appreciated back in the day.
