If money was no object, which gen Vette would you buy right now, and why?
What would drive your decision most? Looks, performance, resale value, rarity, because it would turn heads at shows, etc?

Well, Actually that is a Dream question. A 73' T top in Ontario Orange is one quest, then a 2013 Grand Sport in white with the blue stripe 60th Anniversary Edition.

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe

Seems like this topic has come up before, but it has been a while. For me, and not necessarily in any order:

  • C3 - '70 LT-1 convertible
  • C4 - '90 ZR-1 (wish I still owned "The Beast")
  • C6 - '09 GT1 Championship Edition coupe in black
All in a new garage...!!!

Only 1 for me....same one it has been since 1969. I would like to own one of the 2 original ZL-1 cars, preferrably John's old one. The yeller one that Roger has isn't the one for me....

Vette(s): 1982 Black exterior with gray interior. I'm not sure what mods have been done prior to me owning. It has a Corvette Clinic spedo and is a bit quicker off the line that what the stock specs say. I have done very little mod myself. Only true dual exhaust.
I would probably buy the one I already have. 2014 Stingray coupe, A6, Z51, Laguna Blue. (I need to get better about taking pics.)
- The re-introduction of the Stingray (I have always been a Stingray fan.)
- Only C7 with the A6. I have seen too many complaints about the A8.
- Last generation of the front engine.

With money being no object, I'd make a few modification to my 14 Stingray
- Upgrade to a 4G TCM (So OnStar will work)
- Add MagRide (I have PPE, just not the MagRide.)

No Holds Barred Crazy Custom:
- Long slender look of the C3
- Wide body similar to C7 ZR1
- 6.2 L supercharged LT5 (755 hp, oh yeah!)
- Still street comfortable

With money no object, I might have an even more crazy track only project too.

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary. Restored in 2012. All new 'complete' suspension f & r, engine, trans, exhaust, interior. Car is driven - garage kept but not a trailer queen.
Besides my C3, a 1967 427 coupe in Silver Pearl Metallic.
