Default Somewhat rare?

New member question……

I haven’t seen many for sale with this combination of colors and options…

2014 NRB with Kalahari interior. Z51, FE4, M7, 2LT and navigation.

My son has that combo along with the competition seats. NRB is a rare color but one of the best-looking colors you could get. Congratulations on picking up a nice-looking car. You probably have noticed how the color seems to change depending on the ambient lighting.

Night Race Blue wasn't real popular - 1832 made in MY2014 out of about 37,000 Corvettes produced. Just slightly more than Lime Rock Green at 1577.

LRG was even rarer. In the six years I've had mine I've never seen another C7 in that color in person. 3LT, Z51, Mag ride, comp seats 7M.

there are two members of San Diego Corvette Club that have LRG that i have seen in person. Great Color. What i originally wanted. Instead, because i could not find one with the proper specs, i purchased, used a 2014 NRB, M7, 2LT, Nav, Convertible upgraded to Z51 specs. It is excellent. I receive comments all the time "is that Blue? or Black? or Purple?". keep it clean, it looks better. enjoy

Night Race Blue is not one of the most popular colors in the year that your car was built but when you say "rare" don't think of it as being worth more money because it's not

"upgraded to Z51 specs"?

Conventional wisdom says not to buy a car based in the color......................but when I saw mine in person when I went to the Chevy dealer it was SOLD!

Maybe, if you're getting it for an investment. Otherwise get what you like. When I saw one close to me in LRG I knew it was what I wanted. I've had an 86 and 05 torch red, and a 99 NBM. I was looking for a Nassau blue and never even knew about LRG.

I almost picked one up from CarMax in this color last year. It was the first car that popped up when I started my search.
Looked like the car had issues and I passed on it when it arrived.
I think another member here bought it, fought with repairs and eventually returned it. I don't think I saw it listed after that. It was a pretty car.

With CarMax, you pay a transfer fee and have it transported to your local store so you can test drive it locally. It takes few days. Fees are relative to the distance the car is from your local store.
I used to limit my searches to somewhat near locations. $199 transfers or less.

"Somewhat" is such a subjective term..

I for one would like to see this somewhat rare beast in perhaps a pic or two!!

Hard to consider any particular C7 as truly "rare."
