What type you buy depends how much you want to spend, what you want to do with it and how mechanically inclined you are. For the money spent on a new one you can obtain a pretyy nice 63-73. This will work if you like to work on them yourself. These years are very simple to maintain if you have mechanical aptitude. The most comfortable of the 8 Vettes that I've owned was a 65 with bucket seats that were really bench seats that looked like they were cut in half. The mid-year seats were not nearly as low as the current models and I thought they were more comfortable. As you got to the 68-72's the seats were a little lower and not as comfortable. I loved fixing things on the cars. On today's models, I wouldn't know where to start to repair them...plus, would void the warranty! Good luck!
