C6 Ordering Question
My "little mid-life crisis" (i'm 52) has taken control of my better judgement and I have decided to start taking the steps to order my first Corvette. This forum has helped educate me a great deal about the process. I plan to shop the area dealers and the supporting dealers of this forum. My dream vette would be......Silver,base model coupe (1SX), 6 speed, black interior, and silver painted top. Nothing extra.....Just the base model. I like the museum option! After doing my homework I found out that only 5% of the Corvettes that will be produced this year will be the 1SX variety. My question is.....Do I even have a chance of getting an order filled requesting a 1SX this year? Most of the Corvettes that I have seen so far are very well loaded and I am not sure that GM wants to mess with the base models. Any ideas? I have always liked base models.....my 2003 F-150 has stick shift and hand-roll down windows.

Scan around the bigger dealers and see what they've got. Kerbeck has a big inventory. Don't know how many are base, but it's a good place to start. Other forum members have used some of the other biggies. Kerbeck did me good.
