Yeah, I have now seen most of the available C7 colors " in the flesh" and to me the most striking (and the one I will factory order) is still Blade Silver....

Yea I actually like the fact that it looks black at night or in the shade but then in the light it pops green. I'm not a fan of the black wheels on it, but here is a recent video:

When I was looking for a used 90 in 91 I wanted a Pologreen w/tan vert, but all I could find was one w/black. I ended up getting a maroon w/tan from a GM engineer outside Detroit. Hopefully will have my LRG with Kalahari in the next couple of weeks

The thing I think I like the most about my Pologreen, is that all most every car show, vette meet, bla bla.....I'm one of one or maybe one of two. The fact that the Pologreen does changes color, pitch, depth and in the words of my lady, "it just illuminates" is why I like it so much.

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my Pologreen headed to the track, and soon there will be a Lime Rock Green with a Orange 7 vinyl sticker on it headed to the track.

The biggest question is interior color. To be honest, I am stuck there!

Good to see a decent but not overwhelming number of Night Race Blues.

It's just that not many people wanted that color. Green has always been problematic. "Rare" is '60-'70's big blocks and the like. '96 Grand Sports also command a premium, and less-so, 35th Anniv. editions, which were limited to 2050 cars. 40th and 50th editions are a dime a dozen, so no real market advantage with those, imho (unless you can latch on to a '93 40th Anniv. ZR1).

Still, the LRG with Kalahari should be a striking combination!




I had a fairway green vert and I couldn't sell it the life of me.dont get wrong I loved that color but everyone wants red

Just a recommendation... stay away from what #31 on the list (ME) ordered! Been stuck at 3000 since early July with no answers
