I purchased a 2017 Admiral Blue GS, Heritage Package, M7 in Nov. of 2021. This makes my second Corvette and I was looking specifically for a Vert.

I was fortunate enough to own them both for a few days. Garage space dictated that one had to leave. The Vert remains.

This is the current stable. The GS shares quarters with the '73 Triumph GT6. The lesson here is "Avoid hard decisions - Build more Garages".

Oh man, that takes me back. I had a red 71 GT6. Long ago. That's how I learned to work on cars. You had to if you drive a Truimph. Like every weekend!

I'm happy to provide a bit of nostalgia. I purchased the GT6 in Aug. 1973. It's unrestored - original paint, chrome and glass. Had to redo the interior since 49 years isn't kind to 1973 seat foams. The two are pretty much light years apart. It sucks to have to choose which cool car to take out on pretty days. Usually a pretty tough decision. Both are fun in their own way.

Thanks Jack. You also provided some nostalgia for me and made my day! When I was in the Air Force, I owned a 1970 GT6+ which I completely restored (except for the motor) and absolutely loved that car. Red with tan interior and the wood was in great shape. As much as I loved that car, it did, however, keep me from ever owning British again. Damned Lucas electrics, roto-flex couplings, and those needle bearings in the tranny! My dream car switched from a Jaguar XKE to a C2 Corvette. I may have missed out on some money, but loved my 1963 Red/Red Corvette convertible (of course) for 26 years (again b2b restoration before selling it for a Red/Black 2019 Grand Sport M7, convertible (of course). I'm not sure which one handles better, but I know which one has more power! And, believe it or not, I actually got laid in that car! Those were the days, and the older we get, the better we were! Thanks again.
