2018 C1 of Year Finalist

Default What You Don't Want for Xmas

Ok, my illustrious forum members it is time to weigh in. Let's assume that I contact at least one of you (in jest, of course) and tell you that I just might place a C1/C2 under your Xmas tree this December, notwithstanding the fact that it might be a little difficult to get down the chimney.

Because we have fifteen model to choose from, don't tell me the one you WANT; tell me the one you DON'T want. It would help if Santa had a reason for not delivering the car you begged off on.

A numbers matching, trailer queen of any year, except a 1967 L88.

Hopefully, I don’t have to explain why.

Any 63 coupe- I’ve heard some people call them “split windows”? They are waaaaay over hyped!

C1/C2, although I would have to agree. Pretty much no C3s to grace the stable.

Whoops, sorry Dan. Um, OK, ...any C2 with disc brakes, unless the calipers are 3 pot Girlings.

I don't want a '53. Too valuable to drive & enjoy, it would just be a giant display piece, trailered from show to show. No thanks.

Um, OK, Bill, at the risk of hijacking Dan's thread, what metal bumper Vette would you not want?

Expiring minds want to know....

I don't want any C2 with 4 valve cover bolts per side. I'm fine with 7 though.
