For me it has to be the Mid-Years, and the "66 BB roadster 427/425 as that was my first Corvette.

2023 C7 of the Year Winner - Unmodified
2018 C6 of Year Winner
It would be impossible for me to narrow down to only one year as an all-time favorite. My initial reaction would be to say `63 split-window coupe, but then I think about my first Corvette, a `61. Then I think about the `71 coupe I owned for 21 years and would buy again in a heartbeat if I could find it. Then I look at the walls in our office and see all the photos of our C5 that we sold last year. Or I go to the garage and see the incredible Cyber Gray Grand Sport sitting there. I even had to be pried kicking and screaming out of our `96 C4.
So.....I have been a Corvette fan for so many years I couldn't pick just one year.

I like the rarer 70-72 C3 LT1's, high winding small blocks. I'd take a 72 with a/c if I got an opportunity with a 4 speed.

I liked the '63 especially the split window!

My best friend had a '61 in gun metal / medium dark gray metallic, with black steel wheels. It had a 327/350hp motor in it from a '67. That car was a blast!
Another friend had a white '59 with red coves and interior that also had a 327/350... same fun!
A friend of the family owned a car dealership and had a '69 with a L71 427 that he let me use for a couple of days.
Back then, I had this '64.... loved this car! but no radio (delete) and no a/c.
Now I have the '13 GS.
I think the GS is the best of all of them but back in the day, I think I had the most fun in that metallic med. dark gray '61.... that car was badass, at the time!

tough to choose.....but when I was a kid my best friends dad had a red 62 vert w/ side pipes 4 speed that made me always have a soft spot for those cars......and the C1s have there own special beauty.....and I love the styling of the C3s, that was THE vette when I was getting my drivers license...even the C4 (at the time had the futuristic sportscar thing going for it)....but when the C5 hit and the handling matched the look! hell yea!
I could have bought any one of these but I bought my 2012 sixspeed coupe, because I guess it really is my fav.......
after driving a c7 and a little time for the styling to sink in.....it may make it into my driveway......a long time from now....
