Good choice! The 67's about the only one that comes close.

I like the classic but the new C7 Z06 is so much more of a car to me obvious choice would be the Z06

I would take the 67. Five years from now it will be gaining value as the Z06 will be worth a third of what it is now. For a daily driver, well, that's a different story.

+1. You will also get more attention when the C7 becomes ubiquitous.

One you could drive and enjoy. The other you'd have to admire as non moving sculpture. The '67 would be nice to have, but the '15 could be enjoyed nearly everyday. To do so with the '67 would hurt the value.

Investment wise, the '67 is certainly a better option. Depends on what you want.

I don't have to make that choice because I already own one of each (though my '67 isn't a big block, just a 327/350HP matching numbers car).

Wow. Very nice.

I remember the first time I drove a '67 after having owned a '92 coupe. I felt like Fred Flinstone trying to stop it. Lot to be said for modern technology.

There is another raffle called DREAM GIVEAWAY for the Children's Network where you get BOTH a Red 2015 Z06 Lingenfelter-themed automatic and a Red 1967 427/435, plus $50,000 for taxes.

I like all around capable cars so it would be the C7 for me.

Both good choices.

What brand of car lift is that? I would love to get my hands on one.

Tough call...and it would be great to have the choice.

The C7 Z06 would be great to drive - and very desirable since I can't order one in Canada - but I'd take the '67 big block convertible, enjoy it's driving character, and have the option to sell in the future with a good $ return for a future purchase...maybe a '17 C7 Z06 convertible.

WIN?? No brainer, take the old one which will continue to appreciate, the new one ? - depreciates as soon as you touch it and for many years to come and IF it's value comes back up, it will be many years before it does. Take the oldie

Love the Z06, so much that I already own one. So I'd take the '67. Owned a '67 convertible with 327, have always wanted a big block.

1967! The C2 is when I fell in love with the Vette as a kid. I would have to restomod parts of it. Only because I want to drive it! No garage queen.
