Default C7 Convertible

Hmm, the car that isn't supposed to exist but spotted in a parking lot at Barren River State park Lodge Restaurant during the 10 Year XLR reunion. Not the best pics, it was dark, but it EXISTS!

Good find!

I remember some Authorized Personnel saying we should expect some more pre-production convertible sightings now that the coupes are well underway.

Who told you it doesn't exist? There are a number of Captured Test Fleet Stingrays out there and this could be one of them.

Spoke to the guy he said still not in production yet but looked pretty much done. Saw him putting the top up but didn't get there in time to get pics of that. Asked me to be sure not to get him in the pics. He was driving it in the caravan of 35 or so XLR's to the Barren River State park from the Corvette Museum, yesterday evening.

I did a build on one. My 2006 9,000 mile vert is worth maybe 20,000 on a trade
from chevys web site. So a C7 vert is $71,500 hummmm I hate the C6 because of
all the problems but dang $52,000 to get rid of it. Does not include all the taxes
and fees. Be better saying $55,000 because a dealer will low ball it lower than
chevy. Also thinking about a Silverado LTZ trade. Don't know ????

I'm just the opposite and I am a big time convertible guy with a LMB '05 vert that I love. This time the C7 coupe is what I want!

Love my vert GS, but the C7 coupe does it for me.
Blacked out grille bar, option?

If in doubt, go Silverado. Below is a picture of my '82. You can NEVER go wrong with a Silverado AND I heard they have a Forum WAY better than this one.
