What a coincidence, the '63-'67 convertible is my fav, but not by much. That new ZR1 is pretty amazing.

If I could only own one Vette this would have to be it
1963 Split Window


The new Z06 and ZR1 are fantastic cars but I love the looks of the '63.

Growing up Dad has a 63 split window.. ended up stolen.

I have always been partial to the 69 427 Stingray convertible.

My grandfather drove a '68 427 as his daily driver (yes, winter, too) from the mid 70's until about '91-'92 when he was almost 70 years old.

My dad's owned enough of them that if he still had them all, he'd be able to open a museum. When I was a teenager he had a '77 coupe in "Corvette Bright Yellow," that was a beautiful car. Prior to me being born he had a '72 coupe in "Elkhart Green" which from the pictures was an absolutely gorgeous car. A couple convertibles from the 60's were sprinkled in there over the years, and currently he owns a white '94 LT1 coupe that he originally bought as a winter car. Yes my family is nuts, but surprisingly, up until the '80's, when the tires started getting real wide, they handled snow quite well, or so I've been told, and the bodies don't rust.

My personal favorite has to be a '58 with the 290 horse fuelie option, in either Tuxedo Black or Silver Blue

True, but everything else does, after a little salt exposure it's like fiberglass held together with elmers glue.
