Still have an affinity for the '79....

.... although I really wouldn't mind owning a '69 either.... doesn't matter which engine.

1. 1954 but I'd want a smokin' V8 in it.

2. 1970 454



Hard to choose. Beside my '70 I love them all up to '76 then again from '97 on.

I do still miss my 79 also, but I am pretty happy where I am setting right now. I am just about to get it like I would like for it to be.

An NCRS restored 1953 or 1954.

Paying a little homage to what started it all!!

Only problem is that no one in their right mind would ever drive such a car. ( It would probably drive me nuts not cruising in it.)

My favorite C1 is a 62 two tone.

My favorite C2 is a 67 427.

Favorite C3 well Probably 69 427 but I like any from 68-76.

Favorite C4 a 96 GS with the LT-4

Favorite C5 is a 99 Hardtop

And Don't have much choice with C6s yet but I'd love one.
