No, because then you end up reading old C-code that are IFDEF mazes and think that is good code. No, to see good code you usually have to look at what experienced people write when they get to greenfield something new.
What makes it good is the tradeoff between how well it solves the problem compared to how easy it is to maintain. And people learn how to write better code as they get more experienced, but old projects are seldom rewritten using the learnings - it is often just easier to start over from scratch.
