Default Look where #245 ORANGE Carbon Z went!



Well you would never know it is January around here, thankfully with the incredible flexibility of so many on the web, we have been doing Corvette business in the winter.

We are so glad to be able to share in your passion and excitement over the great cars and awesome opportunities

…..Yesterday it was a pleasure to deliver this special car to someone I KNOW will appreciate it!

SO WHERE DID IT GO?!?!?!?!
.
.

THUMBS UP JASON in INDIANA…..I must tell you , I enjoyed our dealings, emails, calls and lengthy conversation about representing Corvette; you are a gentleman and being able to earn your business from afar is much appreciated. What a memory for you, but more importanly your son John.

You bought this car sight unseen, off a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the confidence and glad you enjoyed even more in person~CONGRATULATIONS!

WOW DOES THIS COLOR JUMP AT NIGHT
and note, this is THE ONLY CORVETTE GM made with Orange stitching in 2011



HERE IS AN EMAIL I GOT FROM JASON TOO:
“Thanks again Rick! We made it home a little bit ago and all is well. The car did great on the drive home and is resting in the garage now. No scrapes on the drive home either. Wow it roars when you open it up! Just incredible! John thought we should name the car ‘pumpkin’! Either that or Jack O. Lantern! Haha, I absolutely love the color though.

Thanks for making this a great and easy purchase. I couldn’t be happier with the car and the purchasing experience. It was a real pleasure to meet you and thanks for making this a lifelong memory for John (and me)!

Thanks!
Jason”

Yes, that color and the black wheels make it most striking, but..........BUT.............."this is THE ONLY CORVETTE GM made with Orange stitching in 2011" now that make it quite a rare Z06.

Thanks for all the comments and thanks Rick for all the help! The car is incredible, and I have to say the color is fantastic. Pictures do not represent inferno orange very well for some reason. It has much more depth and metallic hue than I expected. The color shifts a lot with different light, at times very red and sometimes very bronze. Very sharp car with the black wheels. I had only seen pictures of the orange carbon and it is even better in person. I'll try to get some decent pictures posted soon!

I've decided to keep all the carbon stickers in the box they came in. The wheel stickers look good with the orange car, but it just looks mean with the plain black wheels, mirrors, black splitter and skirts. I doubt I'll see another one on the road!
