Default Custom orange C7

I thought you guys might like to see a custom painted new (sold) C7 I saw today at my local dealer... If you like the color it's only $10k extra

Is this Stingray Chevrolet? I've been told they do both Orange, Lime Green, and Purple. Big market in Miami for those colors. I like the orange.

Looks good but not ready to pop for the 10k, although that is really not out of line for a custom paint order.

9/10....

Orange calipers, 1.5" lower, and tinted windows away from a 9.5!

Really dig it.

I'd take the Chevelle SS behind it - 1967 if I'm not mistaken.

What color Orange is it? IS this something the dealership did or Chevy?
I'm digging the Chevelle SS in Orange as well.

Two thumbs up. Miami Dolphins orange with a hot flake. Daytona sunset brown should have been flushed down the toilet. Maybe Chevy will wake up

That is correct!!! 1967

It looks like the Chevelle and C7 match...I like them both!

I'd like to see a C7 in Hugger Orange!!

At first glance, no - but the color "grows on you". Really a unique vette!
