I have a love for any C7 Convertible with Kalahari. I have not seen that combination Green/Kalahari here in Central Florida...Stunning.!!

I get a lot of compliments on my Cyber Grey Metallic/Kalahari Convertible. We just don't see many in this area.

When I purchased my 2014 LRG convertible I did a little research on the numbers.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible In Lime Rock Green Metallic . Only 864 convertibles made in the green color out of 10,723 convertibles. Only 709, Z51 LRG convertibles produced. (Mine is a Z51). Total of 1,577 convertibles and hardtops in this color produced out a total run of 37,288 cars. 4.3% of total cars made in LRG.

your car in the Cyber Gray looks good with the Kalahari top.

The LRG is very close to the Polo Green Metallic offered on the C4s from '92 thru '96. I have a '94 PGM with Beige top and interior now. I have it for sale in Ocala, Fl if anyone is interested. I am the 2nd owner...not to get off topic, it has 73K miles.
We are active members of the Corvette Club of Marion County, Florida. We hold our big annual show in November each year that usually has over 100 cars. If any of you guys plan to be in Central Florida in November, we would love to have you in the show. Go to CCMCFL.com for additional information or visit our Facebook page at Corvette Club of Marion County. We have almost 150 members and do a lot of cool stuff. We just had a caravan go to the Museum in Bowling Green, KY.

I REALLY love your LRG/Kalahari color combo. Read my last post and you will understand why !! Do you know of a way to determine how many Cyber Gray Metallic/Kalahari Base '14s were built? I think '14 was unfortunately the only year CGM was offered.

Not in my town!... Speed bumps galore... "Lowering the suspension" will kill the car!

Question... Why wouldn't Chevy have applied this "ceramic coating" stuff from the get-go if it's NEEDED?... Simple question to y'all.

Default Love the C7 Vert section

I have not been on the forum since I sold my 2013 427 vert a few years ago, but I hope to be a member of the C7 vert section in the next several months or so.
i am starting to look for a 2019 GS vert M7, which i am finding out is going to be a challenge, lots of A8, but very few M7 verts for sale.
Nothing wrong with the auto, just a old school guy and love rolling through the gears.
it is great to see all these beautiful C7 Convertibles, i have been fortunate to own 7 over the years, first vette was my first and last Coupe 1985, just a much more enjoyable driving experience with top down.
i have some work to do scrolling through the 93 current pages!.
Keep waving!

It took me three months of nationwide searches to find mine and that was almost two years ago. Depending on your color choice it could become easier or more difficult.
Example: Only 236 Torch Red, M7, Grand Sport verts were produced in 2019! Like looking for a needle in a haystack, but if I could do it, so can you. Persistence pays off!
Good luck and, no, you can't have mine!

i took me months and months and months and months of nationwide searching to find mine.
i purchased without ever driving one,
because i could not find a single convertible C7 / M7 for sale in California after months of searching.

when i finally found one in Kansas City, i flew in and purchased it.

when i drove away from the dealer was the first time i had driven one.
did not bother with a test drive before signing the final papers,
just so i could get on the road home.

that was 16 months ago,
no regrets.

good luck with the search

Yep, you just can't beat a 2014 Torch Red C7 Vert with an M7! :-) Bought mine new too back in April 2014 and have put just over 23,000 miles on it. No plans on ever selling either!
