I would pick the 58 - 60 years. I like the change from the one headlight per side on the 57 to the two headlights per side, with the silver chrome trim splitting the two headlights. Also the rear end is different than the 61-62. The 61-62 has a rear end similar to the C2 design. So the 58-60 is unique in its styling appearance.

My all time fav would have to be a Nassau Blue 66 427 roadster. I tried like hell to get one before settling on my 68 427 Red roadster. I hate red too. But at $18000.00 it was hard to pass up 4 years ago. Hence the name, no stingray.

I'm very content with my '69 BB. But....

...if I ever could afford another one, I'd go for a '67 427 tri-power convertible; black exterior with red leather interior; nice meaty tires with aftermarket chrome mag wheels. Woo-hoo! Yeah, Baby!
