Default Game!

You can pick a collection (each car 10 years apart), and we are excluding 2013/2014 Corvettes. Thus what series of Corvettes would you select?

Examples!
53,63,73,93,2003!
or
57,67,77,87,97,2007!
or
60,70,80,90,2000,2010!

Explain- such as is getting the 1953 and 1963 model worth it, to end up missing having no car in 1983!

Any car (street, race car, special model prototype, pace car, etc.)! To play you have to present your list on the exact cars!

Clever game! I'd actually take the "3" series. First year corvette (extremely valuable). first year midyear (yeah, I'd grab a SWC), last year before all the smog stuff. After 1973, I pretty much don't care.

I have to go with lucky number 7. 57 fuelie and 67 big blocks. It doesn't get much better than that, plus the 57, 67, and 77 were last year body run and the 97 a first year body style.

The 6's- elegant 56 (56/57 the best of the C1's I think), '66 (Laguna blue anyone?!), 76 (ok, I'll take the hit, nothing in the game would net you a 68-72 since there wasn't a '52 or earlier), 96- best of the C4's as it's the last one, and lets you get finally an '06, so you get a C6 in the mix, the best of the modern Corvettes.

Definitely the 6 runs.

I once saw 15 inch '84 Corvette wheels in a Chevy parts catalog and was tempted to order them. Then all you'd have to do is fake the VIN and some other ID tags to have the only '83 in the world, and Barrett Jackson would be begging at your front door.

Default I would like to break down all responses, but no time this morning!

Thus this is the type of car that can skew the selection! Would you rather have the best 63 Z-06 Fuelie or the Grand Sport, I kind of consider the three Coupes as 1963's, but I have a hard time with the Convertibles being 1963's!

Since the selections in the 70's are mostly mundane! Do you jazz up your selection by taking the 1st Greenwood Tube Framed race car! Or one of the concept cars, or a 78 Pace car or such! Thus in the later 70's to up the collection, it would have to be a race car!
