454 not avaliable until 1970. 427 only for 1969.

It's a trick question. They are ALL most definitely desirable.

Depends on your pocketbook.
Gotta be mostly original...

From low to higher:
'74 SB Convertible; drive it every day
'68 or '69 L36 Roadster with great paint (mine is '68)

Others cost too much; and are worth too much to drive.
Just my 2 cents.

To me, every one of these cars is the most desirable. Anyone who owns one, whether it's a rare 427 tri power or a base engine plain Jane, has a piece of history that most people will look at and wish they owned. Just go to a cruise night somewhere and watch people from a distance as they look over your car. It will make you feel really good. And the best time to do this is when you start to get that feeling like maybe you've had it long enough and maybe you should get rid of it. That feeling will disappear quickly.

The most desirable C3?
The one you like.

I like most corvettes, of cause all C2, but also all C3 and C4
I will never sell any of my Corvettes, If I should buy a C3 today, then it would be a 1980-82 (or 78-82)
C4 would be 1990-91 ZR1 (red)

Most desirable is too vague.

Most valuable = 1969 ZL1
Runner ups for most valuable = 68-69 L88, 71 LS6

Everything else (most attractive, most fun to drive, etc. ) is too subjective.
