Default New Owner 2013 GS

Well… I finally got one…

A 2013 Torch Red over Ebony 60th Anniversary Corvette Grand Sport Coupe. 4LT Full leather interior – doors, dash, console, and Alcantara suede inserts in the seats with optional red stitching. Black headlights, Black alloys, Auto, Nav, Heads Up Display, Memory seats, Dual Roofs: Solid and Transparent removable tops, Dual Mode Exhaust, ZR1 Rear Spoiler, Optional Red Brake Calipers, and Heritage Package with embroidered headrests & Silver Hash Marks on the fenders.

It has a really low VIN #000020. When I looked at the build sheet, it had a unusual RPO - “OAR” PRE-PRODUCTION VEHICLE (“BATCH" PRODUCTION PROCESS). This was part of a early MY 2013 batch built April 2012 in the 2012 production run. Kind of cool. Because is was still on the MSO, it still has 22 months of warranty left.

Congrats! I have always preferred the dark color headlights to body color

Default Beauty!

Looks just like mine...same colors, etc.. Love the red with black wheels. It's my third Corvette and also the best one I have owned. I am in San Diego and I found mine at a Hendrick's dealer in KS. I had it shipped out here in a covered carrier. There were no '13 GS's on the west coast a year ago when I got mine.

It's a "keeper"! Congrats!

Calipers, and Heritage Package with embroidered headrests & Silver Hash Marks on the fenders is cool BUT WHERE ARE THE REAL MODS??? you know life is too short to drive a stock GS right?

Enjoy your new to you ride!

I must compliment the original purchaser on his/her choice of wheels, headlight buckets, Heritage Package, and other options.

But then, I am biased.

Thanks! I'm from Orange County, CA. Only been in AR for 8 years. I found my car in AZ. I had been looking for a Callaway SC606, but wanted an automatic - I found a Blade Silver and Cyber Gray one but the wife said she always wanted a red one, so search changed while i had a clear "approval to buy". Unfortunately, the storms came through and we've had snow, and now ice. I miss my SoCal weather...
