"original" Corvette?
Depends on which one strikes your fancy most.
Collectors pieces would be the early years (if you can get 'em and if you have a ton of money) 53, 54, 55. the 63 corvette C2 had a split rear window and is considered rare and collectible. the Stingray C3's early years are the most collectible 68, 69, 70. Make sure they have the 427 engine or a big block. Worth more. The 80s 90's and the new ones are not collectibles yet. Unless you want to steal the only remaining '83 from the corvette museum. haha.. |

The first corvette class ships of the late 18th and early 19th century were wooden sailing ships and had little to do with the British. Engine overhaul was just a breath mint, and needless to say there was no such thing as a garage. The French had the fastest ones, (French steam corvette Dupleix 1856/1887), that took very little blow to get it to go fast backward. Steam power was added because the crew thought it sucked to blow. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd > > On Wed, 15 Mar 2006 15:12:29 +0100, "Peter Jensen" > > wrote: > >>Which model is the original Corvette?
