Mine looks identical to yours. It has the Kalahari 3LT interior package. I saw my first one with that color scheme of in Houston and was hooked. It took me a while to find a low mileage, well cared for LRG C7, but it was worth the wait

So, I haven't looked in a while, but I actually found the spec I wanted today available for sale. Its lime rock green, brownstone interior, manual, z51, coupe. Also has the silver wheels, which is a bonus, but not a necessity. It's more than I was looking to spend on a car, and its across the country, but I'm seriously considering it. What other options and features should I look out for? Like, how do I tell if its a launch edition, and what other features can it possibly have or not have? And how rare is it like that (brownstone, manual, z51, coupe)? Thanks!

If, by "launch" you mean Premiere Edition; all P.E.s are convertible, and the VIN ends in 400xxx. It should also have a dash plaque that corresponds with the VIN that looks like this:

The car you describe is much more rare than a P.E.

I was afraid someone would say that. I just have to determine how willing I am to blow out my budget and fly across the country I guess.

I dont know the numbers, but - I created a search in 2014 for my car - exactly as you describe - brownstone lrg M7 z51 coupe. The search hit exactly once and thats the car i have.

I was lucky - I did not have to cross the country - it was here at Jim Ellis. Reggie (the local well known corvette sales guy) originally configured the order for the dealership. He said he took some **** for it and they actually were sitting on it for a little while.

I have never seen another coupe. I have seen verts. The ongoing search results continue to yield just autos or Kalahari.

Another seemingly super rare combo is the 15 DSOM brownstone Z06 M7 coupe. I found one on the secondary market here in the ATL and went to check it out. The wife said it looked like a lady bug and poo pooed it. I should have grabbed it.

Description: Selling my LRG, Coupe, Brownstone/micro fiber interior, 3LT, Manual, Mag ride, NPP, Chrome wheels, Z51, Navigation, 36,000 miles, in a month or so. It is my 4th vette (first a glen green 65 coupe bought in 64, another 65, 07 and now the 14). 2nd owner since 2015, 1st owner was a GM executive. I love the car and the comments it gets at the car shows, but I just don't drive it much as I should. Time to let it go. Car resides in my garage in east central Florida.
