This is easy...
Marlboro Maroon '67 Coupe with black leather & stinger.
L36, A/C, P/S, P/B, P/W & a close ratio 4-speed.
Bolt-on wheels, redlines...
I've wanted this car since I was 10 years old. In 1967...

Assuming that I have to make the car a Corvette, {there are other really neat cars out there, folks!}, I would choose......
1965 Nassau Blue 396/425hp, 4-speed (M20) coupe with white leather interior, PS/PB, AM/FM radio, wood/tele steering wheel, N14 side exhausts, and Goldline tires with Knock-off wheels.
Makes me smile, just thinking about it. In my younger days, I would have opted for the FI small block engine. But that 'first' BB Corvette engine turned out to be something special.
I wonder what one of those [in good condition] would sell for today???

Easy one.
63 Z-06 Split window coupe, fuelie, 4-speed, black on red, no options.
Funny thing is, i dont even want the Z-06 stuff... its all horribly obsolete... but the best is the best. Had to think about the big tank, but decided i'd rather have the storage space rather than a massive, leaky gas tank.

Owning or even driving a Vette was not even on my radar until 2014 or so. The only car that makes my ticker thump is a 68 Charger R/T 426 hemi and A833 4 speed. Would prefer black with white interior but any color combo will do in a pinch. Oh, and the blonde in the go go boots in another post. Good Lord.

Still one of the great automotive designs in my opinion - just not the dash.
1990 was the high water mark of the C4 in my opinion - early body, late dash. Perfect.

To be fair, at the time and given the pent up demand, I can see why - must have been like a space ship at the time.

The Last 67 Big block M-21 side exhausts, loaded. Goodwood green, saddle interior.
Other than that , the 83 development mule I saw at B-J.....just to say see there were REALLY (2each) 83's built.
I bought my 69 so long ago,, it qualifies in advance!
Mental gymnastics, empty pockets.
