1967 Imperial LeBaron by Chrysler

You're looking at the most expensive American car you could buy in 1967. Chrysler's flagship Imperial listed at $6,661 in 1967. That $53K today; a heckuva lot less that you can pay for a car in 2021. Note this is a 4-door hardtop. Power down all the windows for a very breezy experience.

1969 Dodge Coronet 440

I doubt that whoever bought this car new thought of it as a future classic, but pretty much anything built by Chrysler between 1965 and 1970 is now a collectable. The model number '440' does not mean that this car was sold with Chrysler's biggest engine - there was also a 'Coronet 500'. Most of these were sold with the 318 V8 and it could be bought with the 383.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda 'cuda 440 convertible

WOW this is without a doubt the most amazing car I've spotted in use as a daily driver in Seattle. Only 8,939 Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda convertibles were ever made, and only 435 'cuda convertibles were built in 1970. Assuming this car has its original engine, it's worth upwards of $100,000.

1962 Dodge Dart 440

Dodge used the Dart name on four different cars between 1960 and 1963. From '63 on, the Dart was a compact; we spotted this '65 in Fremont last year. For '62, the Dart was a near copy of the original Plymouth Valiant, one of which we spotted in SoDo. This Dart is for sale - the owner wants $25K! Wishful thinking I'm afraid.
