#SDAutoShow: WHICH Would You Rather? A MINT, Shark Gray C3 Chevrolet Corvette Or A NEW C7 Corvette?

While working his way through the classic and vintage cars at the San Diego Auto Show, Agent 001 stumbled upon something rather interesting. It was a C3 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible.

Here's thing thing though. It was in great shape and painted a rather enticing color: Shark Gray.

As someone who's not exactly a fan of vintage Corvettes, I even found myself really enjoying this vehicle. For whatever reason, this color just works on the C3 drop top. 

After doing some internet browsing it appears that a nice example of a C3 can be had from about $35,000-$55,000. That's actually quite a bit more than I would have expected. 

So, I've got to ask: Would you rather have a MINT C3 Corvette or an all-new C7 Corvette? 

What's it going to be, Spies?

C7 all day long. Now if you had asked about a split window C2.... :)

The split window Sting Ray (two words) and the 67 427 Sting Ray would be my choices, but the 68-70 Corvettes are not bad either. The older ones are more fun and the newer ones are ones you can live with and drive daily. It's a lot of fun to open up the 427.

Of course the C3.

I’d consider taking a C2 over a C7, but not a C3

C7 in every way! A great drive today and in 50 years (C3 is 50 years old in 2018) will be more memorable.

C3 is a cool machine. Has nice improvements over the C2 Vettes.
