what 2 buy?
coradict72:
75 is my pick,better still if it were convertable
the last c3 to be one makes the 75 quite unique
and getting pricey in the US.1986 was the next convertable.
and all were pace cars.In coupes style 75,6,7 seem pretty much all the same
but are cheap entry level vettes

HP is irrelevant as they all need more! :evil
I had a '77 and parts were no big deal. Buy the one in the best condition (paint / chassis / interior).

;51 Buy the best one you can find and afford irrespective of the year model. It will be the most cost effective one in the long run.
jjflash:

I love the 77.
Last year of the flat rear window.
New style interior getting ready for 78.
And in a review the 77 was actually regarded to have quite good build quality :p
The HP went up actually.
165 in 75 (base), 180 in 76 & 77 (base)
L82 had 205hp (75) and 210hp (76 & 77), but still that's not really enough.
This is just my opinion but if you get one of these years, be prepared to either live with having a good cruiser that is, in the scheme of things, pretty slow, or get ready to put money into the engine. Either way, because they are hard to find with the 4 speed manual, I would always think about upgrading the 3 speed auto to a 700R 4 speed (what was in the C4)
A 77 is what I would have bought if I didn't get the C4 (no offense to anyone, but the C4 is a far better car, but with a hell of a lot less character)

C3 = :v factor
C4 = cup holders! (oh, and better ;46)
