1. '67 Vette, except for the low HP from the 327 engine in the one I had.

2. '12 Vette, both looks and HP, in the one I've got now.

C2 coupes especially 63 and 64. Their instrument cluster have more character.

Based purely on looks alone, I have always liked the C3's.

Based on the crazy market values of these vettes, many others share my opinion.

Did you have 63 gauges in your 64?

It has to be an early C3 - the current generation when I was a little kid. That's when I fell in love with Corvettes, like this '69. The chrome bumpers, gills, and tunneled rear deck were just beautiful.

It's how it came from the factory. I owned that car from '69 to '74. I bought it from the original owner and he did not mess with it.

I don't think I'll ever sell the '13 NRB GS coupe, but I would LOVE to have a '73 coupe in the garage as well.

I think 63 and 64 gauges are the same.

'63 has the shiny metal concave center. The '64 is the same concave center but in black.

I believe '65 - '67 are flat and not concave centers.

My '64 came with '63 instruments. The only thing I can think of, knowing the original owner and that he didn't change them, is that this was a really early car off the line in '63 and the black ones hadn't come in yet.
