Stock up while you can; get one for work, one for the weekends and one for those runs to Lowes; coordinate your attire, your
moods and let the world know that a person with only one Vette is only living part of a life.....

There are no differences from 2015-2019 on a 1LT. No one not on this forum knows the difference between a base and a Z06.
They are all just Corvettes. You can only drive 55 on the highways.
Oh, they know the difference, and they know that you couldn't afford a Z06!

Just kidding of course......maybe. I couldn't afford a Z06 so I can't really talk.

Maybe to you because you own the cheapest version made of the vette, you don't know any difference.

Why be rude? He did say "There are no differences from 2015-2019 on a 1LT.". ON A 1LT.

Good luck to you. There are so few convertibles and almost none with the M7. Are you planning to order one if you can't find it?

They will eventually sell, and it may take a lot of incentives from GM for the inventory to be reduced. But, wait and see how the inventory goes once the weather gets better and those tax returns come in.

I never understand how anyone looks for any length of time at dealer inventory for a specific car they want. Perhaps they really don't want one and are just like looking!

I have ordered all 5 of my Vettes "Built Just for Me" at Bowling Green. Particularly if one wants a standard shift (which is all I have every driven.)

With the number of specifics you want it's like winning the Lottery!

Just call Kerbeck and in 10 minutes (with down payment check) you'll have exactly what you want at currently about a 15% discount from MSRP! Easy no negotiations as they will offer you about the discount that they are giving for cars in stock. That is how long it took for me to order my Grand Sport. In my case, found a small dealer 30 miles away who would accept Courtesy Delivery. Came directly from Blowing Green in ~6 weeks to that dealer. Their fee, a flat $250. Below the decimal point for what I saved at Kerbeck.

You're choice.

SIDE BAR
When I hear folks saying they have been looking over a month for the exact car they want it reminds me of the "Boat I almost bought when we lived in CT!"

Lived on Lake Eire and always said I was going to buy a small Donzi with a big V8! Found one and also found it had cracks in the transom near the bottom. Fortunately found someone who knew Lake Eire and boats and laughed! The waves in that shallow Lake beat small shallow V ocean racing type boats to death (along with you.)

We moved to CT near Candlewood Lake. Always looked in the newspaper for used boats. There was a flat bottom '60s/70s ski boat (as they were called) with an exposed BB Chevy and trailer at a very low price. Thought, bet it has open header pipes as the Lake just outlawed open pipes and you needed water cooled exhaust manifolds. For that BB Chevy those, with the plumbing out the transom, cost about as much as he was asking for the boat! Wife and I went to visit.

The boat looked to be in good condition AND it had water cooled exhaust manifolds. It had no reverse and as the seller said that would just fill the boat with water. He said he would go 100+ mph with his friends who would help turn him around using their boats when needed. Made him start it in a 55 gallon drum of water he had for the purpose. sounded great. Then he said it had 13:1 compression. I said well can't live with that and always needing racing gas. Wife smiled and was happy!

Gets' better. He was an IBMer and his wife wanted him to get ride of the toy! He said I have the original block and heads with 10:1 compression, I'll throw that in! Wife was now not happy.

Now, I had a Dodge Colt Turbo and the wife a Plymouth Champ- same car but no turbo (those were the days of hi gas prices and at times limited supply.) I said well it's a great deal but we won't be able to tow it with our cars. Kid you not- he had an old station wagon with a tow hitch he used and said, I'll throw that in. also! I could see a tear in the wife's eye!

Went back home with no boat and never did buy one until we moved to a Lake in SC where we live now. That was a 19 foot pontoon boat with a Minn Kota motor as electric is all that is allowed!
