I had an Interceptor III in the 70's: great machine, super comfortable, not really a sports car but a true Grand Tourer. Problem was I couldn't keep the engine cool.
Love the curvy/muscular look of these amazing sport cars of their times. That was true power with naturally aspirated engines and no exhaust note enhancements required. Thanks for sharing!! BP
The 2000GT is a masterpiece but it had a tiny interior...Connery was so tall they made a soft top version for the film as he simply could not fit into the coupe.
True. Deveopments in design and technology in both power trains and manufacturing seem to have really moved things forward while also improving fuel economy.
Love the Toyota. A 2-litre dohc 6, and it really screamed. The used one in an early James Bond flick, but Connery was too tall, so they had to cut the top off and make it the one-and-only CONVERTIBLE. Also the Jensen. It came with 383 or 440, and one year they even made it 4wd, for the ski crowd!
The guy running a $6 mill Ferrari around a race track must have some serious bank! Also saw the Toyota at a car show in Los Angeles, it's valued at over 2 mill and looks amazing.
@@howardmiller4127 The grand tourer that Studebaker made was the Hawk series, particularly the GT Hawk. The Avanti was just as much of a sports car as the Corvette of the period.
Good to see the Toyota and Mazda in this list. It's a pity that they weren't given as much credit in their day as they deserved. The Jensen is a very odd inclusion in this company - a list of touring cars perhaps, but not everyone would rate them highly. I'd not include the Porsche - in its original specifications the handling is best described as different, and the lengthening of the wheelbase did not make things much better.
The info boxes are a bit approximate. For example, it gave specs for the Porsche 911 as 2.7 litre. The '60s 911 was 2.0 litre until August '69 when it went to 2.2 litre, and the 2.7 didn't appear until the RS of 1973, and ordinary road cars in '74. It takes only a few minutes on your favourite search engine to find this out, and people who watch your video will assume you are giving correct information.... Anyone who has driven a Corvette knows they have lots of power, but handling and stopping is VERY sketchy (like any US muscle car of the ;60s). Not a sports car. Nor is the Jensen , but it is a fine GT car of its era. There are plenty of others equal or greater cred as a GT but from greater marques But no small European sports cars? Lotus, Alfa Romeo, Alpine, Lancia, Healey etc etc made some great sports cars in the '60s. The Datsun 240Z is a fine car, and gets a mention in the comments but did not come out until 1970, so it doesn't count here
I always thought that the Toyota 2000G.T. coupe was one of the most underrated sports cars of all time, though the car was very expensive to.build and the engines were made by Yamaha.
The corvette and cobra were much better drag cars they didnt handle well "AT ALL" The toyota a very small cartoonish Sports car. Just a little bigger it would be more awesome. The jenson is heavy iron. Ferarri speaks for itself ... Does it not? The Muira , puira passion !!! Jaquar should have built the block out of aluminium. The Mazda Odd-a is cool design elements .Great sports car romp compilation. Thank You!
Mazda Cosmo has a 1.0 liter (60 cubic inch) 2 rotor rotary engine that made 110 and later 128 hp, not a 1.9 liter (119.8 cubic inch), like you described. Your 'typo' error? doubled the displacement, That's like saying the 3 liter engine is a 6 liter. If you were more accurate, people could go, wow that little 1 liter 60 cubic inch engine from the 60s was an over-achiever, huh GO ROTARY
Did I miss the Aston Martins? DB 4, 5, 6. I saw DB 4s racing in the TT at Goodwood in 1960. Salvatori and Shelby. They lost to Moss in a Ferrari but would have to be considered.
The most gorgeous car..looks performance is a 1969 Corvette Stingray coupe..hands down ...better looking than the ferrari gto..e type (windscreen too tall)..etc..
Nope. The Ford 427FE did a bot moore than 416hp even in the mildest version. A friend and motorbuilder had one out for an overhaul. He benched the old worn engine to 500+
The Ferrari 250 GTO is the sexiest car ever built. Love the Toyota 2000 GT and the Jaguar (unreliable car) and the Lambo Muira, but the styling and power of the Ferrari is tops.
1963 '67 '69 Corvette all better looking than the ferrari..but gt250 along with ferrari dino and jag convertible only close runners up..too me anyway...
I'm calling bullshit on the Jaguar remark. I owned 3 different XK models and would rate them as extremely reliable. People used ask me about troubles, always the same answer "NOPE." You've picked up that old wives tale and just repeated it unknowingly. Did you ever drive a Jag? btw, they were XK 150, E Type Series 1, and E Type Series 2. Would'nt have kept buying them if they were problematic . . .
@@islamexico Yes that's correct. The Nissan S30 (sold in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z and in other markets as the Datsun 240Z, then later as the 260Z and 280Z) was the first generation of Z GT two-seat coupes, produced by Nissan Motors, Ltd. of Japan from 1969 to 1978.
Great car but design looks..a 1963 and 1967 corvette stingray coupe look better and the 1969 Corvette coupe to me is the best design/looks of them all.. e type jaguar convertible only ( windscreen too upright on coupe).. ferrari dino..next..
On ne peut pas dire que la Toyota 2000GT est franchement belle ou franchement moche. En tous cas c'est une voiture hors normes ! Chacun y trouvera ses aficionados...
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO HAVE A HAPPY CHILDHOOD.!!!

Desirably beautiful, classical, timeless cars from well known companies in 1960s.

Muchas gracias, disfruto mucho viendo estas maravillas
The 2000GT is a masterpiece but it had a tiny interior...Connery was so tall they made a soft top version for the film as he simply could not fit into the coupe.
Love the sound of the air cooled Porsche
THERE S AN E-TYPE IN THE NEW YORK CITY ART MUSEUM. BLACK COUPE, JUST BEAUTIFUL..
I didn't expect it but that Toyota probably is the best looking car of this video
🤢🤮
Ask Enzo Ferrari what the most beautiful car is (E-Type Jag).
The XKE and the Cobra were the most notable for their time horsepower and a lower cost to own.
its amazing a lot of 4cyl have this much power and 6cyl twice as much and more nowadays.
True. Deveopments in design and technology in both power trains and manufacturing seem to have really moved things forward while also improving fuel economy.
It's the fuel, the metallurgy, engineering.
Every 10 years the technology doubles and or triples
Sports car essentials; two doors, no roof, lively performance and good handling.
Shelby cobra is a beautiful sound.
Love the Toyota. A 2-litre dohc 6, and it really screamed. The used one in an early James Bond flick, but Connery was too tall, so they had to cut the top off and make it the one-and-only CONVERTIBLE. Also the Jensen. It came with 383 or 440, and one year they even made it 4wd, for the ski crowd!

$2m for a Toyota 2000GT-RUBBISH ! A concours examplel is only worth about $800.000
Great video! The Toyota and Mazda I hadn't seen before. Very cool! That Jensen looks like "what the AMC Pacer was intended to be". HA!
What do you think of the Mazda?
I wish the new Supra looked like the 2000-GT
@robert burns facts
The 2000gt is such a piece of art. Kind of reminds me of the Ferrari 250 gt
ENZO FERRARI SAID THAT THE E-TYPE JAGUAR WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR IN THE WORLD.
I'm a old man now, I remember all of these except that darn Mazda. Shucks.
How old are you??
62 and counting
Jaguar E Type Low Drag is the most beautiful version.
Nice
The Jensen is a nice Grand Tourer
, it’s no sports car!!!!
Spot on.
@Dominic Johnson Mine was 7.2 litres - 440 ci?
The Fact that the Jensen made it onto this List is Proof of it's, shall we say, Bad Assery(assirie??).....
You get My Point.
Partly right - is definitely not a sports car. A Grand Tourer, yes, but opinions might differ on whether it was a nice one or not.
Awesome
Thank you :)
@@CarNewsTV You're welcome.
Two words: STUDEBAKER AVANTI. For you not to include that fine automobile on your list is near criminal.

Better include the 1969 dodge daytona
