New Oldguy from Florida
Second time owner, my first was a '59 in 1962 as a 19 year old on the streets of Park Slope, Brooklyn. It was red with white side coves, black interior and white top. It made a lasting impression despite owning it for just a year. I put a Vette on the "bucket list" and here I am, and thrilled about owning another. It's a 2012 Torch Red 1LT Coupe.
I'm really impressed with this forum and know that it will be a while before I will contribute much. In the mean time, it really shortens the learning curve for Vette knowledge, and for that I say thank you to the contributors, sponsors and moderators.

Welcome to CF Bob 
Had a '59 same color combo. Was fun.
Well you managed to go full circle & made it back to a Vette. Congrats!
Your TR color was the #1 seller for '12. Don't let it sit.
