Default It's time for my 2009 C6 to go

In 2009 i purchased my first Corvette (after waiting fourty years) it is a C6 Crystal Red Metallic/Beige 3LT convertible with all the available options. I really love this vehicle but its time to let it go.

I'm replacing it with a loaded 2013 Crystal Red Metallic/Beige 427 convertible.

When i purchased the 2009 i posted pictures. Soon as i have the 2013 i'll post pictures showing Before (2009) and After (2013).

Back in 1967 i really wanted a 427 Corvette convertible.
Now in 2013 i will finally have my 427 Corvette convertible.

Its been a long wait, but well worth it.

Congratulations - a GREAT choice!

No matter how good future Corvettes are - the one year 2013 60th Anniversary 427 convertibles will always be special - a high point.

When I saw the headline thread I was going to reply WHY?. But now I understand!!! Great Decision! Particularly the C6 part, the 427 part, and the cashmere interior part!

no 427 in the 2014. As far as a key, I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Congrats. Added bonus is that the 427 vert will be uncommon in the future I'm sure.

I also hope they bring the key back to the ignition. At least as a premium option.

I also thought "why is he getting rid of an 09 vette" but I understand completely. In August of this year I bought my new 427 convertible from MacMaulkin in New Hampshire. I flew out of Los Angeles, they picked me up at the airport. My 427 vert is also CRM with beige interior and is the 1SB package.

Then I drove that thing back across the country to southern california! Had an incredible time, stopped in Overland Park, Kansas and took a photography class for 5 days and met some of the nicest people in Kansas!

From Kansas, I toured through Durango, Silverton and Ouray Colorado and then out Route 66 to home. This corvette got a lot of attention especially along route 66.

You will absolutely love it. Have the dealer install the mild to wild switch before you pick it up and the just enjoy!
