Few More Photos From Barrett-Jackson
 
Z0sixTT has already posted some great photos. Here are a few more, trying not to do too many dupes. I had no idea I would catch this. Wandered by the Corvette Racing booth and noticed a large van backing up. Had a feeling. Checked with a young lady at the booth, and sure enough. 10 AM unveiling. I got lucky!

Glad to see a close up of the tail lights, would like to see the headlights really close up, as well as a closeup of the dash. Tail lights are just fine, its the black back end bumper/diffuser that needs changing, ... the color.

Nice shots! Notice Rick Hendrick in the first one.

Thanks for the close-up of the tail lights too - they grow on me more and more with every pic - and those that have seen it in person have been converts. I'm just sayin' ...........:leaving:

C7
 
Cool pics. :thumbs:

Flex182 01-19-2013 06:45 PM

Nice close up shots...Really like the tail lights....Like the entire car. Ranks up there with exotics in my book.

I think this is the first time I've seen a photo with the hatch up. It's a crazy design but looks good, too bad no photos peeking inside the trunk.

Thanks for sharing great pics.

Oh and overall how would you say you felt about the C7 after seeing it in person? The fit and finish, body panel execution and whatnot?

Thanks for posting...very nice shots!

Any estimate as to the time it will cross the block tonight?

Look at the top photo. Rick Hendrick spent a lot of time going over it.

BlueOx 01-19-2013 07:00 PM

I heard one of the announcers say that his wife should be around the tv at 10:30 eastern in reference to the C7...but they've also said several times during the day that it's all a crap shoot about when a given car will be on the auction block.

Consensus on another thread, plus what the Chevy people told me, around 10-10:30 PM est.

Nope--Pratt chases after first run Shelbys etc
Rick Hendrick is my bet.......

Thanks for the pictures! I would like to be out there at the auction!

Thanks. First, let me say. I want one! I didn't really focus on construction, considering this is a pre-production model, but nothing jumped out as poorly done, even when the rear-end was in my face.

Over all, very impressed. Repeating what others have said, it looks like a Corvette. I've even warmed to the rear-end.

bigterpsfan 01-19-2013 07:08 PM

What time are they auctioning off the vette?

george vee 01-19-2013 07:11 PM

Jay Leno is there also

BuckyThreadkiller 01-19-2013 07:16 PM

Any Dave Ressler sightings? You get Hendrick, Leno and Ressler bidding, it could get stupid in a hurry.
