Love the new color and it really is close to my C6's Monterey Red which I had many many great comments over the 8 years I owned it. Good luck with your new ride people. Love the color.

Your car looks great. The chrome wheels look good with it. Congrats!

Congrats. Beautiful Pic and good taste. Mine will look the same with chrome wheels and black 3LT interior. Waiting on the train. Built 9/9. You are apparently a lot closer to Kentucky based on the moss in the trees.


Enjoy your ride.

Mine was built on 9/9 and delivered to Toledo on 9/11 and sat for a week. Phoenix Dealer says it's on the train and moving. Asked for an update Friday and rail car #, but dealer didn't receive a response before weekend. Yours must be waiting for a car transport. Billings isn't that far off the northern rails. Guess Jerry is driving his LBR 24/7 or reading the manual, too busy to send pics. Did you get your best deal in MT or going for tax advantage.

Doesn't look like flash was used. Most pics are in bright sun. Must be something with the lens material and led lights. I Googled rear pictures of c7 and found this pic.

Beautiful car. I toyed with the idea of the machined wheels but in the long run felt it was too dark. I'm an old guy and went back to the basic chrome. Happy motorin.

Glad your enjoying your car. Alamo and I are jealous and still waiting. Send pics soon and a little review. I'll be driving mine up your way around Thanksgiving to visit my daughter in NAPA. Maybe we can get together for coffee.

Congrats! I hope QC took care of the OP on the passenger front fender, but be sure to check it when you take delivery. It looks more excessive than most that I've seen. Best wishes!

Finally, got a rail car# from the dealer. Looks like it's in the Amourdale Rail Yard, Kansas City, KS. At least I know it's moving.........
