My best 1960 car was a 1960 Ford Falcon that I bought for $10 in1968. I won more races with that car than anything since. It even won Little Stock Eliminator at the 1968 AHRA World Points Finals.

Marv Ripes 57 Chevy 210, 283 / 250 FI with a glide. I wrote a paper about it in college. And painted on the hood, right next to the rabbit "Tricks are for kids". The car had the only two piece front bumper I ever saw.

This is a good one Larry. Isn't it the same one that John Barkley ran, also?

There are so many really great cars from this era that a list of the best ones would be VERY long.
