I too like the 67 BB, but a 53 original wouldn't be too bad either.

That 1967 is gorgeous, my buddy’s 71 is hot. Visually so true, yet when I have been lucky enough to drive the older models they are nice, but unless it’s a non authentic restoration the best is the C6 to drive and isn’t it still what its all about, I mean the C6 is hot too, but GD it that C2 is good looking. Its all good man.

What is the best Vette you ask? It is the Vette that forfills a nich in your life.
It is the Vette that makes you happy inside yourself.
You know that place inside that no one knows how you feel about it all & why.
The emotions your Vette is bringing out of you only you can feel. That is the best Vette.

My 2nd Corvette, a '67 427 cubic inch.
I owned this baby around 1970.
It is, IMO, the epitome of what a Corvette is.
The standard that the future generations built on.
