...what would it be?  Even though I love my '82, I think my choice would be a low mileage L82 '78 Pace Car.  Second maybe a 1995 ZR-1.

Vette(s): MM Red 1971 T-top,LS5,4-speed, black leather C5 seats, Hooker sidepipes. Previous: 64 Coupe, 65 Roadster L76 / N14

Sportivo -- I had your '65 in the mid-70s (only diff -- roadster with sidepipes, same color, same HH engine).  That was one bad motor. Would you believe I traded it for a 64 coupe? Can you say 'Dumass'? doh

They're all so kool, it would be hard to pick jes one. Guess mine would be a black '69 L88 roadster. Second place would be a silver '67 L88 roadster. Third would go to a red '62 FI 327, all 4-speeds fo course!  'Nuff dreamin' for one day.Ermm

Don't feel bad............I had a '65 roadster, convertable, side pipes, L84 engine (was one strong bad A$$ engine) and it was Nassau Blue.  But......I sold it for an S10 Pickup (GAG). Dead  Talk about "Dumass." DeadDead
 
I wish I could have that car back...........I hate to say this, but I would give up my '69 for it.  I want that '65 C2.

Vette(s): 1969 convertible L71 427/435 4-speed black interior
'57 Turquoise/white. A base engine model with Powerglide for my wife...she would be in Heaven with that.

For myself...'67 L88 vert...black with red stinger and red interior...or a red '63 split-window fuelie...or a '69 L88 to go with my '69 L71...or, oh Hell...you all get the idea!

This is like asking if I have enough $20 bills in my pocket!

Hey Guns, our wives think waaaayyyy too much alike.  My next vette project is to find that car for her.  Apparently, I will also have to devise a way to atmospherically parameterize those $20's you talk about.

The 67 L88 Vert black w/red stinger and/or a 63 black (if they had em) coupe would work for me.
