Gents, I am looking to upgrade to a C7 from my reliable and beautiful C5. Yes its time. So I am on a quest for the C7 of my quest. A lime rock green coupe with Kalahari interior.
I just can not seem to find one.
If you know of one, please let me know.

I'd guess you can find how many were built from the Museum or other sources. Then, you'll know what your potential maximum "pool" is.

Default Lime Rock Green coupe

CPO Bob,
Friend just sent me your post. I have had a LRG coupe since 2015. Originally owned by GM executive. Getting the itch for a Z06.
3LT, Brownstone suede. Z-51, 7 speed, most/maybe all options, chrome wheels, 32,000 miles.
Bob
