Welcome!
Whatever you do don't ask what color is best! I think the only thing close to a consensus you'll get is that beige is not a good color for the dash. :roll:
Be careful with this crowd, we've got lots of opinions. Let me throw in my two cents for the "best years" question. I personally like anything before '73 because of the 5mph bumper law that came into effect. I also personally prefer the CS over the CSi but only because I can tune the carbs without a machine.

What Coupe is best to own--good question
I can attest that a relentlessly maintained 1970 2800 CS will last over 38 years as of October 1st--and now with over 400,000 miles--the BLUMAX has now crossed 408,000 and is still going strong while still eliciting compliments as to his cosmetic appearance from strangers and enthusiasts alike--all CS's are capable of that when treated as well!!
I echo JJ's comment as to 1972 and earlier models--to avoid the "bumper growth" cosmetic issue that our fine Department of Transportation deemed was needed for minimizing damage back then--which turned out to be a bad decision and an experiment that resulted in ugly compliance efforts by all the German and English car makers--certainly for being less desirable as to their appearance.
