This last shot is very nice; pretty car, well captured.
Thank you for the kind words Elk! This is my first silver car (had a pewter metallic Camaro years ago).I bought this Z06 site unseen last summer. This was a museum delivery car and the gentlemen who had it built traded in to the dealership with his name still on the dash plaque.. I called him, made a great new friend and later thanked him for building my "dream car".
In February purchased my 5th Vette - 3rd Vert - a ‘17 GS. Have been “in” the C6 Verts forum for a while and just found this one. Haven’t look thru it completely but so far have seen a lot of good looking cars.
Delivery day
Not really Vette driving weather yet in our area but have taken 1 shake down cruise. Looking forward to many more to come.

If you look really close at the first picture and focus on the speedo, notice it says 83 MPH. Welp. that's a bit of a stretch as I was actually doing 3 MPH.
There was a camera on a pole taking the picture while the photographer walked along with the car. He did a little pixel wiggling to make the 3 MPH read 83!

Just found this sub thread. Recently purchased a '15 Z51 2LT Daytona orange drop top. New wheels came in with a few other cosmetic mods today. I'll post when everything is put on. Love the thread!
I like the idea of a subsection for C7 convertibles, but for it to have much beneficial use for me it's gonna have to be divided into subsections similarly to the subsections for C1/C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7 as is presently done. I have a problem sorting through pages of photos of C7 convertibles if I'm trying to find information regarding a specific problem or fact regarding a C7 convertible.
Having said that, here are pictures of my three, all convertibles and all shown separately as I have not yet had time to take a group photo of the three. But, I do plan to do so in the near future . . . . . just picked up the C7 last week, haven't had the chance to take a decent photo yet .. . . . I'm from the old school, for the first 10 years there was no such thing as a Corvette that wasn't a convertible . . . . . still that way for me . . . . . .

Thanks much for the kind comments Dale. Appreciate it much.
As far as the '66, I've owned it for about 45 years or so, during which time I usually had a tow vehicle of some sort or another to do any hauling necessary. The hitch on this car is a Valley hitch and came from a 1963 327/340 hp convertible wirth 4:11 rear gears that I bought just after returning from Vietnam in 1967. Back "in the day" it wasn't at all unusual to use your Corvette to tow a ski boat or similar toy to/from the lake, and that's what I did with my '63. I installed air shocks on the rear and ran the air line into the storage compartment behind the seats, that way I could level the car with no problem! Worked quite well . . . . . .I kept the hitch after selling the car . . . . . suspected I'd be replacing the car before long anyhow.
I also projected with Cushman motor scooters 15/20 years ago, still have a 1957 Eagle that I own although I sold several others in my scooter collection. At the time I was trailering a Cushman or two to a local meet/show I had one of the aforementioned tow vehicles in my possession. However, about 1990 or so I found myself temporarily needing a tow vehicle for the scooters, so I dug out the hitch from storage and installed it on the '66. At the first show I attended with a scooter in tow I found that the Corvette attracted almost if not as much attention as the Cushman scooter. One of the guys commented that you could tell when a scooter club member was really down on his luck . . . . . had to tow his scooter with his collector car . . . LOLMi
As a matter of fact, I do have a pickup truck that I've owned for several years, pretty well stock except for the entertainment system with CD/AM/FM stereo, backup camera, GPS navigation system, SD card music memory, front view camera, Bluetooth phone, a few other features that I have never hooked up and don't honestly recall what they are right now. Here's a couple of pictures. Just this year was able to register it with year of manufacture license plates here in Missouri.
It's now my "run to the dump" truck in those rare instances when it even gets driven.
Here's also a couple of pictures of my scooters as well, the light blue 1957 Eagle is the only one I own at present, sold the others as I lost interest in the hobby. Kept the 1957 due to nostalgia setting in I suppose. The red one was a 1946 with a sheet metal body that I decided to replace with a custom "Woody" body, thought it was pretty cool!~~
My wife thinks I've got too many toys, bet some of the other guys on the forum have wives with the same opinions . . . . .
