With the limited production of the 2020 C8’s and if they do discontinue the long beach red option for 2021, would that not make a 2020 Long Beach red more valuable for resale?

Eh, no. Unless somebody REALLY REALLY wants a LBR 2020. Then maybe $5 more...

Color and "pop" pics are very sun dependent!

The sun has a big impact on LBR.

It's all going to be a non issue now that production has stopped, and there won't be any 2021's. Straight to the 2022's. So if you got a LBR already, you're one of the few. Everyone who took possession of their 2020's, consider yourselves lucky.

I used to own a 2017 Grand Sport in Long Beach Red. It looked fantastic in bright sun light. In any other lighting conditions it was too dark. Some people would tell me the car looked "pretty" which I did not like to hear. I don't want my Vette to look pretty. I now have a 2019 Z06 in Elkhart Lake Blue.

You would have to assume they would not do two different red tint coats.

You mean like GM doesn't offer multiple shades of white/gray/silver?

There are only 5 other LBR with vins and 3400 on Kerbecks page (me included). I haven’t seen any customers take delivery of a LBR yet. Maybe I’ll be one of the very few to have this “color” and 2020 😭

LBR is my first choice color. Sorry it's gone for now. C8 needs a dark red eventually.

I have no idea why anyone sane would do so.
The color I pick is the color I like...not what some potential buyer down the line might like.
Jesus, if I was concerned about what OTHERS might want, I wouldn't buy a new car in the first GD place.

That probably explains why it’s an old man color. The older you get the less likely you’re going to need to worry about resale.

Common Corvette myth. Just because something only sold for one year doesn’t mean it’s valuable. It was desirable it would have sold better.

Sure thing. Use that analogy on L-88's resale value.
