I prefer my vettes to be as original as possible without getting crazy like tires batteries and air filters. That being said i would take the 70th anniversary car over the resto.
I have the 2023 Stingray and a restored, numbers matching 1965 L79 Corvette Roadster. The 2023 will depreciate over time. My 1965 or the 1966 restomod will not. And the C2’s are becoming more and more scarce as time passes. Go for the 1966 Restomod and will be a happy camper in the longer run.

Not a Question the 2023. The 2023 C8 Corvette is not the best sports car on the planet it’s the best car on the planet. That’s after putting 10,500 miles on mine. It’s a Grand Touring car equal to an MBMW with the balls of a Ferrari. I could drive my C8 from coast to coast, in comfort without a thought. I doubt I could do that in the 1966.
I have driven my 66 over 100,000 miles and would still drive it anywhere. Maybe it’s not as plush as the new C-8 nor does it have air conditioning but I bought it new. Now 56/7 years later I have ordered a new C-8. I probably will never live long enough to have it 56 years nor drive it 100,000 miles but I will appreciate both of them.
I prefer the C8. Practicality! It holds my golf clubs and other items with ease.
The C8 without question even though I much prefer my C6Z (with 427 c.i.). No real Corvette guy would even consider the modified car over an original of any year.
I like both of them so I could take either one. I’m definitely a real Corvette guy and I love custom Corvettes as long as they don’t look stupid, shitty or ghetto.
Restomod, please. I just can’t accept the C8 exterior styling and cramped cockpit.
