Default 911 through the decades

If you could list one 911 from each decade, which would it be?

Mine:

60's - 1967 S (love the short wheel base)
70's - 1977 3.0 Euro (anyone can have a RS or an S, besides my first 911 ride was in one of these)
80's - 1989 930
90's - 993 C2S (Turbo look, without the Turbo cost)
2000's - 996 GT3

What are all of yours?

60's: I want the car that Steve McQueen used 2 own, which i believe was light blue Short Wheelbase 911
80's: i'm not familiar with them that much but the 930 seems like a good choice.
90's = RS America
New Millenium: Either the GT3RS or the GT2 with clubsport

60's - 1963, The first 911 (The 901)
70's - 73 Carrera RS 2.7
80's - 959, not really a 911, if that can't count then the 1989 964 C4.
90's - 1998 993 Turbo S
00's - GT2

You might have to fight Jerry Seinfield for the first 911. He still has it in his collection.

60's: The first 911 is an excellent choice
70's: 73 Carrera 2.7 RS by far
80's: I can't think of one in particular (if 959 is allowed, then of course)
90's: 964 3.6T
00's: GT3 RS (gt3 if US cars only)
