Almost done

In this shot the hood has PPF done but the bumper does not yet.. If you live in Oklahoma, Gerald and Ryan from Superior Concepts are awesome and do GREAT Work.. https://www.superiorconcepts.net/




Porsche 911 Turbo S (only 200 made of this model) finished the day before..

Default Just picked my 3rd C7 from MacMulkin

Just picked my 8th Corvette, 5th one from Tommy Jr.

I had my name on an incoming GS convertible. After mulling over the bent, cracked wheel issues and brake dust issue, and more car than I really need, I changed my mind. I’d currently owned a 2016 Stingray, Z51, MSRC, 2LT, which I only get to drive 6 months out of the year and I never tracked the car. At 68 years young I decided on getting this Stingray that had just come in at MacMulkin. I feel it is less prone to issues than the GS. It’s a bit of a step backwards, but it more than meets my needs.

Definitely prefer the top down look of the C7 Vert vs C8 Vert.

I feel that the iconic look of the white, red and black looks awesome on the C7!

It's Arctic White, Adrenaline Red, 2LT, A8, Chrome wheels, red calipers.

Replacing the factory brake pads with ceramics will cure the dust problem

IMO, chrome wheels will really make that dark green "POP" even more than it currently does.

Ordered our sixth consecutive Convertible in Oct. `18 and took delivery in Nov. `18.


These two photos show the difference in Shadow Gray depending on light and angle.

Default New Convertible


Ordered my 1st Convertible on 6/8. It arrived at Edmond, Okla dealership 7/25 and I took delivery on 7/26. Always owned coupes, but I am loving the Convertible life. Thanks to my supportive wife ! My grandson named the car “Bluecifer” after the horse at Denver International Airport with the demon like Blue Eyes. First long road trip will be The Caravan to Bowling Green.
