I didn't know Chevy made that color orange. Looks more burnt orange or copper. If it was orange orange, then I wouldn't have got it.
I saw one at Corvette Warehouse, north of Dallas, but it was gone when I inquired. So I did a search for C7s in that color and there was this one at a local dealership. It was meant to be! Apparently that color is relatively rare. I have a feeling that it was rode hard and put away wet, but I'm going to be taking very good care of it!
