Corvette of the Year 2024: First Winner Announced, Calling All C1 Owners! – UPDATED
Our Corvette of the Year 2024 contest has started! We have our first winner and are currently looking for C1 Corvettes!
For the last several years, CorvetteForum has come together to pick the best of the best from our membership’s collective Corvette collection for our Corvette of the Year contest. It’s effectively the best virtual Corvette car show of any given year. The way it works is that we go generation by generation, with members submitting their cars and then voting on the best modified and unmodified versions of each generation. Lastly, at the end of the year, all of the generational winners compete for the title of Corvette of the Year. In 2023, based on membership feedback, we decided to add a Restomod class. It went over so well that we decided to include it again this year.
The 2024 competition is off to a great start, so we wanted to update you about where everything is currently. First up, we already have our first Corvette of the Year in the Restomod category. Huge congrats to member sbuck863, who shared his LS3-swapped 1965 Corvette —

Calling All C1 Corvette Owners (Modified & Unmodified)
Do you want to enter? Of course, you do! If you win you get to brag about it to all your buddies. And who doesn’t like to brag about their Corvette? We will even give you a special forum badge under your user ID so you can prove to the doubters that you did actually win. The contest is underway and will be taking place during the rest of 2024 with each generation getting its own entry period (full schedule is listed down below).
Currently, we’re looking for C1 Corvette owners to join the fun.

But hurry, the C1 submission period ends June 20! C1 Corvette VOTING will then run from June 24 to July 4, so keep a look out in the forums for those threads.
