I have an 8X10 of a C7 in my garage…..



I also offer a C7 rescue service for owners who need a safe place to leave their cars while they are out of town……





One day maybe I hope…

Lord have mercy….

Had a quicklsilver '01, preceded by a silver & black '86, which I'm currently driving again since the '01 got hit, though it was repainted all black. I'm planning on getting a NRB '14.

The '86 was a college grad "gift" (use that term very loosely), so I had no say in the color of that one, and the '01 was bought off my father when I was in need of a vehicle and we'd worked out a deal, so I didn't have a complete say in that one either.

The Stingray's all mine from the get-go, so I'm getting something a little different than silver and / or black!

I went from cyber grey on my convertible C6 to Torch Red (TR) on my C7 coupe and will be going from jet stream blue on my C6 coupe to artic white on my C7 convertible which is at status 2000. The TR is great for "eye attention" with my black wheels (come on....chrome wheels do not off-set the red car) and my artic white convertible will have the black wheels too (I hate chrome due to the constant brake dust discoloring the shiny stuff). So I did change colors quite readily and will likely do it again when I see a 2015 or later C7 in a color that I want next. I like nearly all the corvette colors choices regardless of the model variant!

My C6 is LeMans Blue and when I get a C7 it will most definitely be Laguna Blue. I'm also going to stick with the same interior color too, gotta go with gray.

My first Corvette was an '00 DBGM with saddle top and guts, my second was the SW with white top and black guts and since I purchased them used I didn't have luxury of choosing colors. I was going to go for white with red interior as a tribute to Canada but decided to go with white w/Kalahari (I'll just put a small maple leaf sticker on the bumper to pay respect to my country).
Funny! My first Vette I was 31 yo bought new 96, then 2001 the Z06 then 12 years later, the C7. ALL Red. I like the car in red I guess. There's a guy on Cape Cod has a museum of personal cars, maybe 50-60 all red lol.

I don't get the aversion to black, tho it could be something to do with the effect of the angle of the sun at different latitudes. I've never waxed my black vert, but i did have it cut polished once, wash it once a week, and get compliments on it even when it's a little dirty. My current Vette and my next Vette will be triple black verts.

I'll pasture my yellow '07 A6 base coupe when GM offers a yellow Z06 w/clutch pedal delete option.

Not sure yet. C6 is torch red. Leaning toward red for the C7, but white and black are also under consideration.

First was a blue '73, second is a steel cities gray '72 and my third is a laguna blue C7. I guess I like the blue, although I very nearly went for the crystal red with kalahari.

Red again and the last three were red. If would have been the last four but GM screwed up when the C6 came out and they didn't have a real red for a while.
