Doesn't matter , anything 68 to 72 chrome bumper cars are true classic corvettes and 72 is the end of that run . Like most cars at the end of the run , they are the most refined .

Don't see any headlight washer nozzles, or nozzle holes so that would eliminate the 69, 70, and most if not all 71's (didn't most of the 71's assembled after Dec. of 70 still have the nozzles even though there was no longer a washer system? And cars thru March 71 still had holes in the bezels?).
So that would make the car either a 68 or 72 right? If anyone really cares

If you intend on driving the car regularly, avoid the '68-69 years. In 1970 the wheelwells were redesigned to add flares to the rear of the wheel opening so that road junk doesn't get thrown against the lower portions on the door and rear panel. Believe me, if you drive it much [even on paved roads], you will be fixing rock nicks every 2-3 months.
P.S. When I grow up, I want to be the hood of that car....

Now if we are talking about what year car to purchase... That depends on a lot of things.
