Mine would all be coupes.
1963 Z06 big tank coupe with dealer installed Knock Offs
1965 Black Big Block coupe with side exhaust and KO's
1966 Mosport Green 425 Big Block coupe with side exhaust and KO's
1967 Red 435 Big Block coupe with black stinger, side pipes and KO's
My present 2014 Black base coupe. Best Corvette so far overall but not the visceral experience of the mid year coupes.

Choice #1: My 2017 Stingray 2LT (of course) with the great 7spd manual.

Choice #2: A bright blue 1967 coupe - 427, 4spd manual, black interior and NO side pipes.

Choice #3: Dark green 1973 coupe - 454 with automatic; black interior of course.

Choice #4: Medium blue 1996 Grand Sport coupe - 350 LT4, manual transmission.

Choice #5: A white, low-mileage C6 (2011?) with the 7-liter engine and see-through hood.

The three that would stand out the most to me:

1) 2017 2LT WGG Grand Sport M7 (Currently Owned)
2) 1963 Silver C2 Coupe
3) 1983 Corvette

The other two I'd have to think about.

I'd opt for the five most valuable collector Vettes... and, auction them. Now, the question is where to build my new home and what to stock the garage with.

I like to buy newer and stay newer. I had a 2002 Z06 by 2007
I was wanting the LS3. Then went to a 2006 Z06 and 2008 Z06.
Then a 2009 ZR1 Only 1 was new. I worked my way up. Then a new 2014
,2015 Z06 and now the 2017 Z06. I had all of them that I wanted.
I would not go back in time for garage queen or museum piece.

My 1973 was long ways from the 2002 or any of the rest.
I have a 1963 2 dr Black Meteor 260 V8 S33 with just 70k on it factory down to the hubcaps and washer bag. When I want to go down old time lane. Everyone is different!
