My C7 came in last night and I thought I'd post a picture. The first photo is of my first Corvette Stingray purchased in early summer 1972. It's a 1969 coupe, Fathom Green with saddle interior. 427/390, 4 sp. $3,000 cash, still under warranty. Unfortunately the only pictures I have are faded Polaroids.

The 2nd is my new LRG coupe.

Those are great pictures. I really like the C7 pic, that color is one of my favorite.

Have fun with your new C7, and congratulations!

Thanks guys. I sold the 427 in late 1974 for $3,000 just what I paid for it. Thought I did pretty good. Sold the Stingray and bought a...Silverado.
