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.

TOBASCO 01-19-2013 06:44 PM

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:

Paul 68 01-19-2013 06:45 PM

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.

nvusgt 01-19-2013 06:49 PM

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?

BlueOx 01-19-2013 06:53 PM

Thanks for posting...very nice shots!

RULOOKIN 01-19-2013 06:56 PM

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.......

87C4_4spd 01-19-2013 07:02 PM

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.

RAGS747 01-19-2013 07:17 PM

Boy those rear lights when they are lit up look like Afterburners...Very sharp.

Hey Its anyones car right now ,but dont be suprised if someone else buys it and RON PRATT lays down 100,000 just for the hell of it !

I wish i had a business so financialy huge that my acountant calls me and says "You need to spend a few Million or you will loose it to the tax man "

They need to make it a option to order the rear bumper in body color of car.

RaginBull 01-19-2013 07:54 PM

I think the Vette is coming up next!

Leno net worth $550 mil..
Hendricks Net worth $500mil
Pratt net worth $350mil.
Talk about some high power auto collectors. Should get interesting. I think it will be between Leno & Hendricks?.

Guess that leaves me in fourth place.

Damn you. That now slides me down to 5th..lol

clayton1 01-19-2013 08:31 PM

Is that rear 'spoiler' an option? Any pics of car without it? (I dont like it)

su8pack1 01-19-2013 09:21 PM

WMark 01-19-2013 09:55 PM

Here's Rick. I think he's interested.

I was at the Display today, five feet away from the C-7. For all the critics, it is an amazing car. Hard to believe it is the base car. It is beautiful! The black on the lower rear looks cool - the tail lights rock. The interior is very up scale. It looks so much better in person than the pictures. From the front, it is exotic looking. I can't wait to see what they do with the Z06 and ZR1

Bruce in Arizona
