Only 60's model I have come across is our original Sprite, but I would
love another 60 model car. Most of the ones that have been coming my way
have been rubber bumper cars, but when I learned about the 71 I jumped
on it, as a parts car for the 69, but alas it is more like the 73 than I
thought it would be. Probably end up restoring it too, with the 73 being
an Auto-X car and the 69 and 71 being drivers...and maybe the 79 as the
foul weather car...
