Re: whats YOUR dream vette? (DMONSVETTE)
My vette, except a 427 BBC with arround 600-650 hp and 700+ Torque. :yesnod:
ROD 6-speed, 24540ZR18s up front and 315 35ZR18s in back on Twisted Vistas (18x8 front 18x10 rear) :cheers:
and a duplicate chrome bumper vette.
both with rollbars that have removable door bars. also both with ice cold AC, steeriods, and the best suspension that VB&P sells... :yesnod:
and of course the '67 L88, black with a red stinger hood. 4 speed, immaculate restoration. :yesnod: the only thing not stock would be a fan shroud and headers. :cheers:

Easy Mako Shark II or Manta Ray with ZL-1. Just like the one GM VP Design Bill Mitchell drove as his private car in Detroit in the late 60s. :cool:

Re: whats YOUR dream vette? (OatBoy)
I'm another 3 vette dreamer.
I'll keep my 73 (my mom was the original owner so it stays in the family regardless). I'd like a C4, maybe a 96 vert. And lastly a 50th anniversary coupe for my daily driver.

Mines plural too:
1) 02 Convertable - for crusing and daily driving in comfort
2) Black 64-65 with a fuel injected aluminum big block, 6 spd, updated suspension, lowered, 17" rims, a/c, sterio, tinted windows, .....
3) My current 76 to keep for serious racing - wouldn't want to hurt my other two & just can't get rid of it after all the work I've put into it :D

My dream car would be my car, but it would be in perfect condition, L-82 on an engine stand, ZZ4 under the hood, nice loud exhaust, nice loud stereo.
And best of all, it will happen someday.

Re: whats YOUR dream vette? (Simon Alexander)
I would love to build a ZL-1 clone! Much as I love my convertible, this one would be a coupe, sidepipes, that cool ZL-1 paint job and the still available ZL-1 aluminum block. Why waste $1mm on the real thing? :lol: MJ

Re: whats YOUR dream vette? (Teuffelhunde)
Since I'm dreaming;
1969 Monaco Orange Big Block w/sidepipes (first Corvette ride at age 7)
1969 ZL-1 and YES I would drive it on a regular basis
Grand Sport, a real one! And I'd drive that one too!

Re: whats YOUR dream vette? (OatBoy)
I would invest in taking all the comfort of a C5 and placing it into a 68 GC. Imagine the power and beauty of the 68 with the luxury of the C5.
If it weren't a C4, I'd really like the "Conan V-12" they made. It was a C4 with a longer hood to fit a V12 engine. It actually looked pretty sweet because the longer hood made the C4 a little more C3 like. But that still wouldn't top a classic GC with C5 Comfort. Did I mention air-tight t-tops?
