I saw the Garcia one at my local dealership....nice idea and would be cool to own but it appears you do not get much for the extra 5000. With this one here I think they would have been better off to have the red seats in split trim red/black. instead of all red.

I ordered a Grand Sport Convertible White with a Blue Top, Blue Center Stripe Red Interior and Chrome Wheels?
Ed...that white GS convt with the blue top, center stripe and red interior will be an incredible looking Corvette. Can't wait to see that beauty.

Cool car. I read that the Ollie Gavin edition of the 4 “Drivers Edition” C7’s was the top seller. There were very few of all 4 produced.

I just purchased the TOMMY MILNER Edition GRAND SPORT. It is Elkhart Lake Blue with silver stripes and red fender hash marks.



They built 21 of the Tommy Milner car, mine is number 4. 7 Speed - 2LT. To me it is stunning.

I just retired after 42 years as a Transmission System Operator at an Electric Company. When I retired, my wife told me that she has been saving for 20 years to buy me my dream car. We bought this. She wrote a check and it's paid for. Kind of an awesome day for me.

Thank you. I was almost afraid to admit that I got this after reading some of the replies.

I'm more impressed with your wife's love for you, than the cool car. I suspect you'd agree.

Good morning, Thank you for the kind words. When my wife told me what she had been doing, putting aside money for 20 years every week to do this for my retirement, I was stunned and very reluctant to accept it. All of friends convinced me that I had to do this for her. Her giving me the car was a moment she had been dreaming about since she originally conceived the idea in 1999. It was a very emotional day.
