Well, when I was younger I probably would have said a '68 GTO convertible...but these days, I'm thinking more along the lines of a Grand Prix or perhaps an Olds Toronado.

Born August 19th 1971.
Not sure if and what they were making at that time or if it was during the changeover to '72's

A very late '71 GTO The Judge Covertible Automatic, Lucerne Blue or Quezal Gold on a black interior and a white top

Got a 71 LeMans Sport Judge clone, so at least I got something that looks a bit like it

If it was life or death between the "Stallion" above or this, I'd pick the T/A, but I personally do no like the 2nd generation F-bodies and wouldn't drive one unless there was gun to my head.

Oh well, I tried. You could still get a 455 in a Lemans or Grand Prix in '76, so there were other options.

C'mon, 1982 wasn't that bad. What could be cooler than a black and gold Trans Am with factory installed Recaro seats??

Nah, the 73-77 A bodies are ugly bloated things. I wouldn't even take a Monte Carlo in those years and I'm a Monte nut.

I was born just as the 59's were coming out and dad had until 1975 a 59 El Camino 348/tri power/4 speed. And just for you.

1979 = on pretty much everything.

I'd probably cruse a 1979 Lincoln Town Car.
