47k could get me:
Dad's Challenger, a spare 440, decent suspension, tires, cage, and 10s. But now I need a tow vehicle so that pays off my truck, lifts it, set of wheels/tires, Rebuilt 360+trans, money to race and some lunch.

Rodders really can do neat, innovative stuff, they have less preceived boundries. You can get so many cool little (and big) ideas from them. They even jumped on EFI well before muscle car guys, just the way the jumped ont he flathead Ford, and then dumped that for the SBC. |
60s was the muscle car era.
The mid to late 50s were the crusing/hot rod scene. (With the 57 chevys, tbirds, buicks, etc)
The 40s were the big car era (Packards, Studebakers, etc)
The 20s and 30s were the "rat rod, gasser" era. They had the 27 fords, the Tbuckets, 5 Window Coupes, etc.
So, uh. Yeah.
Unless you are talking about WHEN people were rodding them, rather that what era car they were. The 60s wernt really that big as the guys comming back had the cash to get muscle cars.Id say it was more of a 30s and 40s thing.

the rat rod scene went from the 40's-the early 60's. in the 30's the cars were still new, no need to paint them with primer.

Um, yeah, that's what anyone else would say. It's not the age of the car, it's when the movement was happening. It started int he late 40s when the guys got home from WWII. They used the older cars because they were plentiful & relatively cheap. Rat Rods did not exist pre-WWII, regardless of what they were made from.
