If you could go back, or pick and era to grow up in...would you you?

Nah. Born in '63, when I hit 18 in '81 muscle cars were 10 years old or so, could be found in excellent shape and dirt cheap. I swapped a worn out '68 Ford pickup for my '70 A56 Challenger, it had been garage kept, waxed and meticulously cared for until the second owner grenaded the 340. I swapped him the pickup even for the Challenger and a 383, which he'd also scorched the crank in. FT6 Dark Tan Poly, black top, butt stripe and interior. Other than the dead motor, not a scratch on it.

Gas was cheap, so was beer, girls were easy, worked in the oilpatch making $13.50. Wasn't bad at all..........

Today everything I have is paid off, house and 10 acres, cars, we're debt free. We're in good health, and the wife's bullshitted me into thinking she's the greatest thing since sliced bread.........life's good where I'm at.
