75 is just the right year for that, since it was only 74-76....
The wife was having a girlie party at the house, one of our HS friends showed up. She tossed me the keys to a new Bricklin and told me to go play for a couple of hours.
I turned 18 in 1992 and actually was driving a 1992 car back then. On my 18th B-Day I got the incredably bad idea that I wanted a Mustang and went out and bought a 1992 5.0 LX coupe. Black on black 5-speed with no options For the unreasonable sum of $14386.00 I drove away in a brand new car. I had the money and was too stupid to know better so...
The problem came when I called the insurance company and had to insure it for $512 a month. That was a hard payment to swallow for a few yrs.

Wow. My car payments today aren't even $512/month.

I know. It was the first car I had my own insurance on and I had a speeding ticket in my previous car so it wasn't good. I recall it dropped under $400 about a year later. When I sold that car I was still paying around $350 a month for insurance. I was tired of it and bought a POS Daytona.

Reminds me when I was 23 I was going to buy a brand new '02 Z28 right before they quit making them....took one (6 speed manual) for a test drive and fell in love with it....got back and asked the dealer about financing...the deal killer was it was going to be over $500 a month car which was a little out of my reach, and I didn't even bother to check how much insurance would be since I was still on high rate at the time.
10 years later I kind of wished I would have bought it instead of all the other old cars I ended up having, but then again I would've had to live on ramen noodles and go without other needs for a long time for it happen.
Sooooo.......many great cars that year - 1967. Probably the very best year in American automotive history.
Corvette Sting Ray, Pontiac GTO, and the new Mustang were all favorites of mine. And essentially all of Ford and GM's big cars were nice....for the comfortable Sunday cruise down the Thruway to Grandma's. It would be very difficult to pick just one from so many.

Yes, a lot of good choices in 1967.
I would choose either a '67 Plymouth GTX or a Dodge Coronet R/T with the standard 440-Magnum engine. The largest standard engine in a GT car in the world at the time.
Though there's no way I could leave a Ferrari F40 off the list:
Can't have the F40 without the Porsche 959...
There are a bunch of others too... I owned an 86 Porsche 944 Turbo, I know I could live with one as a daily driver, then there was the Audi Quattro that was ruling the Rally circuit at the time, and.... well, lets just say I'm a gear (petrol) head and could easily fill a 15 car garage with just cars from the year I turned 18 and be happy for the rest of my days. Even better if I get to do the same with motorcycles... MMmmmm, Honda RC30 *drool*
