I was wondering on peoples opinion.... if you could only have one c2 in your life what would it be ? a coupe or convertible all being equal in condition ?
I know less coupes were made but,,,,,

When I was 12 I saw a SWC at the mall and I knew someday I had to have one. Six years ago I started my hunt and never even considered a roadster. Locally, midyearvette has a roadster and I have had several rides in it and boy topless can be fun. Coupes look cooler, roadster are more fun.

I thought everybody liked "topless" better?

Not that I do not like Top Less but you can not go into a store or a place to eat with out shoes and a shirt so put a Top on it for me COUPE PLEASE.

if only they made a retractable hard top....

The coupe has the "look". You need that roof line to capture the "look". The top-less is more "fun"; but, for the real "look" you need the flowing lines that the coupe gives.

Coupes look better. Convertibles are more fun to drive in the summer. I've had a few of each and prefer the 2 top convertibles. Best of both worlds

Rich Yanulis

I agree with the above statement.

HOWEVER...............I only drive my car on Sunny Days always with the top down.
A Coupe may look better, but I only want to drive a Convertible

I have owned several of both and this is what I tell people when they ask what one I like the best?
If you sit back and look at the coupe there is not a more striking or better looking Corvette.
But on the flip side there is nothing like getting your best girl putting top down and going for a ride on a warm summers evening!
So the choice is up to you. Do what is best for you not someone else.

If I was just buying it to look at, I would have to have a coupe.

If I was buying it to drive and enjoy, the convertible is the only way I would go!

If I had to pick one, I'd take the coupe or convertible.






Edit: I never thought about it before, but I have owned 7 C2's and each time have alternated from coupe to convertible and then back. Started with a 65 coupe in 68 and now back to a 65 coupe. I guess I can't just pick one.

COUPE...COUPE...OR COUPE!

Coupe, although I have a soft spot in my heart for a Daytona Blue convertible I was loosely connected with in high school that a forum member bought recently (I let rain keep me from the Expo where it was auctioned). I would buy that particular convertible and be happy due to the sentimental connection.

I would love to have one of each as do many of the forum members, but since I have only one I picked the convertible. Living in Southern California with nice weather all year round, a convertible made sense to me!

Coupes Rule

I couldnt decide....



I actually had two midyear ownership dilemmas... coupe/roadster and original/modified. I solved it by getting a very original roadster and a (not so original) coupe I plan to run a 383 and a 5 speed in.

The roadster has a classic feel perfect for sunny day cruising, the coupe is noisy, angry and fast like it should be !

convertible. i rarely put the top up (not enough inside space for me). when i do it is because of heavy rain.

Willie'sVette

Wait till u guys get a skin cancer scare, ur'll always drive a coupe......with A/C of course.

To me, this is the definition of a Corvette.
