There may be a market out there for someone that can cut that by computer and sell them ready to apply. Just saying....

Anyone aware of leftover 2017 collector edition models currently being sold at a discount?

Awesome! Looks like someone needs to start up a Carbon 65 owners thread. If it gets enough traction then it may make it to a sticky.

If someone wants to do a registry thing like I did, I'm happy to give pointers and setup a copy of the Google Sheet to start with...

Hey, there's way more important things to do like drive it, stare at it, sit in it, etc. But when you get a chance :-)

Congrats my friend!

Default Original 1963 GS CE News

For those that may have missed the announcement in "CorvetteBlogger", the "12", which is one of the original 5 built, 1963 Corvette Grand Sports, to be run at the "Simeone Museum" in Philadelphia on July 22, 2017. This is the car featured on the small badge on your dash above the shifter in your car that inspired the 2017 GS CE.

Go here for article and video.

Default Additional Info.

BTW, I saw this vehicle a year ago during a visit to the "Simeone Foundation Museum", and here's the picture I took:

Sure it isn't the injectors? They can make some decent noise as they are high pressure injectors.

Available at your local Walmart in their Back to School supplies. They have different muscle cars in the series, Corvettes are represented twice with one of them being the Collector Edition. Too cool for school!

Available in a spiral bound notebook and a pocket folder.

Default Just Picked Up #657

Went for my last free oil change on my now ex-2016 Stingray coupe. Saw this on the lot, worked a deal, and drove it home. Funny thing is, first time I showed one to my wife, she hated it. Now she loves it!

Was just going to send the WalMart photos out. My wife's Grand Sport CE is 095 purchased this past December. A8, not a ZO7, has the level
two aero package. My vette is a SSB 2011 ZO6 Carbon, #199 of 252.
