I'm partial to the late model C4's, especially the ZR-1 with the wider rear stance. But that C3 posted by forum member C5Z above has me

Black Chrome bumper early 70's C3 HANDS DOWN!
But a black C6 is a close second.

You mean '63? If so, I agree.

I'd take ANY of the C2's (especially if it has an L88 engine in it - 1967) but the split window '63 is THE classic Corvette in my opinion ... especially if it came with RPO Z06 on it .... only 199 ever made.

Sorry ... you have the 2nd generation Z06 ... the first gen was in 1963.

I think the C2 is probably the most beautiful generation. The C6 Z06 definitely beats out the C5 Z06 in looks for me...I find the C5 looks dated next to it. C5 Z is next in line, however and I plan on keeping mine and adding a C6 Z to the stable eventually.

To me the c6 looks dated next to C5. The C5 hardtop and the C2 hardtop will live on.

C2's close second and the C5's # 1. This is a C5 forum so perhaps the results were biased but the only other Vette I want is a C2 convertible!

Thanks to everyone for their opinions!! All Vettes rule!
