C2- 1963 Coupe Z06 & 1967 Convertible 427 L88
C3- 1969 Convertible 427/435 L89 & 1970 LT1/ZR1 Coupe
C4- 1993 40th ZR1 & 1996 Grand Sport Convertible
C5- 2003 50th Convertible & 2004 Commemorative Z06
C6- 2012 GS Convertible & 2012 ZR1

There are no C4's in my dreams.

Cool list though.

Nice list. As far as C4's go, and I know I will get my shorts flamed a bit here, but I like the C4 better than the C5 in most cases. The 96 Grandsport is one of my all time favorites.

I also like the C4 body style better than the C5... thought it was a clean evolution from the C3. To me, the C5's rear quarters/back end
are too wide/big/rounded. So, there are a few of us !

If I were to have the ultimate collection I would reproduce my pace car collection with the real deal, that would be fun trying to locate all the originals. I also have all the 1/18 scale in another display case, Theres just something about them

Default Dream Vette collection?

Here's my dream collection.

The first three I owned back in the late sixties, early seventies. I wish I still had them. I also had a '67 blue vert, but no picture of it.

I still have the bottom two. When I bought the C6, I kept the C4.
