Corvettes

[ZLTFUL]

My uncle has a gold 69 Stingray with a big block and side pipes. I am not a Vette fan by any means but that car just gets my blood flowing when I drive it.
Similar to this except in gold...



And even though I am no Vette fan...this would be on my lottery winning list...

I personally think corvettes are one step above camaros and old firebirds.

Oh yeah...69 RS/SS or a 69 WS6 Firebird. Sign me up.

C3 Corvettes are pretty but unless it's something with sidepipes I personally prefer 1st or 2nd gen Firebirds.

As with what has already been said.. stick to '73 and earlier. I went '78 but then made sure it had a "proper" engine in it.

Either way, you're gonna have a blast

I like the compact lines of the 73. Big block + side pipes. 

My fav car is a 70-74 Cuda.

My buddy just picked up a blue 2008 Z06. That is one sweet ride.

Don't know much about the C3 or C4, but so far I like my C6. It's got some noise issues, but I fixed those by opening the exhaust up and listening to the motor

those grand sport "stripes" don't belong on the right fender.

So...  if you're after a C3 Vette, why not get a smogged out '75-'80?!?  The lower power output has likely been more friendly to the drive-line throughout the years and it's going to cost less.  Spend the difference on some 'fun' parts for the SBC motor and just put smiles on your face...

Thinkin' out loud...

such a simple thing to wake those engines up, my preference would be one of the early ones (pre 76?) with the trunk rather than the hatchback looks-wise.
My wife's ex-husband has a half dozen C3s, I got to beat up on one that he said didn't seem to be running right. Reminded me of driving my little pickup truck.

Get outta my head Stew...  In the back of my mind I was thinkin' '81, since I really like the looks of them.  They can be had reasonably cheap, and down the road, I'm sure another $1000 in the motor could get me a few more HP.
