1970 LT-1, not that I am partial. Would be happy with any '69-72, or 74-76, though.

No brainer! The answer is 74! Only soft bumpered shark with real exhaust and not lots of emission crap. The soft bumper design looks pretty damn fast (we must do some work on the car to make it go as fast as it looks, but that's no problemo, man! :D ), the split bumper adds personality, and the absence of bumperettes makes it look very clean, sleek and sharp.... :cheers:

If I could have ANY Vette, it would DEFINITELY be THE 1983 model. Then I could sell it, and buy 10 Ligenfelter C5's!

I love my 79 but my next choice would be the 73. Comes with a big block 454. True duals. Long sleak rubber nose but still has the cool rear end. Lots of improvements in 73.
