I think it's a close call between the 68 and 73, but the 73 stands out from all the other C3s most.

Those of us who own an 81, with zero votes, will leave now.

For uniqueness I went with the 73. One chrome and one soft bumper, and its the only year with that type of combination.

So, when will someone wise up and start building new '69 Corvettes. You can already buy a new '69 Camaro.

Depends more on what one does to it than the year.

I'm partial to the 73, obviously. No, but really I think it is true and a very distinct year.

I made my choice on what I thought was the most "unique" C3, not my favorite. A poll on "favorite" C3 would change this poll dramatically. Most owners would vote for the one they own or the one they wish they owned.
