I'd love to see a C-3 in C-5 Platinum. I think silver and black is a great combo. Check out Flaresides car.

Yellow is great too. I'd lean toward Yellow72's choice of yellow. I've owned 2 black cars. Both looked great in the showroom. I told my wife not to let me buy a black car again, but I still love black.

The good news is you cannot go wrong with any of these. :crazy:

C-3 Vettes look good in just about any color. It's a body style that sticks out and grabs you no matter what. These things get painted all kinds of wild colors. Be creative. Just stay away from pink or plan on wearing John Wayne underwear to prove your manhood. :D

Yellow. Vettes are one of the few cars that look good in yellow (have you seen the new Chevy trucks in yellow? What were they thinking). You dont see many of your year in that color. If mine wasnt red inside I would go yellow.

Yellow is definitely more of an eye-catcher, but I would go BLACK.
The more chrome the better !!
