Default Your C6 or...

Imagine if you will, that money is no object.

You can have any Corvette, any model, from any generation you wish.

Sorry, no other cars are included in this fantasy, only Corvettes.

Which would be your choice?

For me it's easy, the 1967 L88, exactly as you see it here, has always been my dream car.

How about you?

for me, it was always a '67 coupe. Didn't really care at the time if it was the L88 or a small block.

After a year of hunting ( in 1975) I bought this '65 327 numbers matching vert. I'd sure love to have this one back..... It's Nassau blue... hard to tell from the faded pic.

Saw this bad boy at Corvette Mikes a couple of weeks ago and fell in love. It was in for a detail. C6 for road trips and this beauty for around town cruizin' for me.

Ok Santa, build me up a resto-mod. I'll take a '69 vert on an aftermarket frame with a C6 427 powertrain. Paint it in a dark blue with a black interior and top.

Steve, perhaps you saw these photos on another thread.

This '63 SWC belongs to a neighbor of mine. It is sweet...

Here, just say this photo was taken on a cold clear winter day, that's why all the grass is dead.

Except mine would be a t-top, and black on an aftermarket red interior. Recaros and the like. Maybe some carbon fiber body panels and accents.

You would probably like this '57...

http://www.superchevy.com/features/c...hevy-corvette/

It's absolutely gorgeous and he sold it last summer. I offered to do an even trade for my '07... hey it is 50 years newer. He smiled politely...

I got to know Cass at local car shows and cruise-ins. He also did a '73 resto-mod that has more of a sinister vibe.

2015 ZO6 convertible, Shark Gray with Cyber Gray stripes, Ebony & Titanium interior (GM is probably using different names for the C7), 8-speed automatic and CHROME wheels.

I have also fantasized about a `58 fuelie, `62 fuelie, `63 coupe, `67 427 roadster or a `69-72 coupe restomod with LS3 on all after-market chassis & suspension.

So I'm not picky.............

Come on, admit it.

It looks better with black wheels.

Just admit it, you'll feel better.
