68 silver Convertible 327/350 2 tops, age 20, my first vette
69 Coupe 350/350 burgandy age 22, wanted A/C
69 maroon Conv., wrecked and rebuilt with mako shark mods (pos)
69 blue coupe 427/390, flipped it to make a buck
74 coupe 350/4 speed red, cheap car, no A/C, flipped it a year later
85 coupe 4+3, white, early tuned port injection - ran well
81 coupe - my only automatic, low power, heavy car, low performance
02 vert - current ride, 6 speed
All were manual transmission except the 1981. All were unmoleted, box stock expect the 69 mako which was a bad mod decision made by a previous owner. The 81 was a slug but it was a clean low mileage original car I never enjoyed driving.
I hated the automatic and lack of power

Loved the '65, but the '02 C5Z is still hard to beat. Didn't like the '73 or '80 at all.

ELEVEN! The C5 Z06 is my favorite. I also liked the '60 for pure fun, but it was a handful to drive with a racing clutch that strengthened my left leg considerably. The 1972 was the only one that gave me a lot of trouble after the fan clutch failed at 3000 miles and the fan came through the hood.. everything replaced under warranty. All were bought new except the '60 and the '65 fuelie. I've had a lifelong love affair with these wonderful cars.
