Default 2012 Corvette

Am I the only owner of a 2012? I look on the "for sale" thread and have not located one. I might have a quite valuable corvette.

Lots of 2012s here. They are so rare that nobody wants to sell them.

Maybe....Autotrader shows only 13 as of 8/14/2020 @ 9:40 AM CST 2012's with Bicentennial Package of various mileage for sale across the US.
On the high cost / low mileage spectrum, one of them is a ZR1 with 5K miles asking $75K and another is a GS Convertible, she's a Garage Queen under 4K miles, price is a bit unrealistic, asking $49K

I put a 2012 style steering wheel in my '11 GS. Does that count?

Gotta 2012 and 2013 GS in the stable... been driving the 2012 for the last week every day -- now this coming week it will be the 2013 all week.

I love em both.. the 2012 I get the most compliments - it is Torch Red and always clean as it was when it was new.

I always wondered why people owned several Corvettes of the same generation. If yours are both a GS, what's the difference in driving a '12 or '13? I could see if one was a ZR1.

Just curious.

the other one is - the 2013 - is Black... just like my Son's black GS.. All three of the family's Grand Sports are M6.

My Granddaughter likes the Black one the best...

the photos of the Torch red guy , one is with the Transparent Roof and the other with its painted Roof.. dual roof package.. sometimes just for Phun I put the Red top on the Black GS.
