Default My New C7

I went to look at the convertibles last Saturday at Rick Hendrick in Duluth, GA and found and bought exactly what I wanted. For all of the Lime Rock Green haters, I think this is the most beautiful Vette I've ever seen! Each to their own, beauty is in the eye, etc.!!

Congrats! I've owned green cars before, but never been able to sell them for what I wanted to get out of them so I quit buying green...but that color combo looks great! May you always drive her in good health!

Beautiful! I'm guessing the comp seats/A6/vert is a somewhat rare combo. A future collector car!

Nice color with the contrasting top and interior. Really great to see someone who has some imagination and got something other that TR with black wheels.

I had a brand new 1968 vette convert that was a very similar green and was the number one color choice that model year and still one of my favorites as far as color out of the 25 vettes I have owned.

Color Options production totals for 1968

900 Tuxedo Black 708
972 Polar White 1,868
974 Rally Red 2,918
976 Lemans Blue 4,722
978 International Blue 2,473
983 British Green 4,779
984 Safari Yellow 3,133
986 Silverstone Silver 3,435
988 Cordovan Maroon 1,155
992 Corvette Bronze 3,374

Saw the coupe version of that in a showroom. Beautiful car. There are several C7 colors I like, green is one of them but the silver is what I ordered. Don
