The Carbon 65 cars are beautiful. Our local dealer had one - didn’t stay on the showroom floor for long as someone snatched it up.

To each his own; not a fan of the color or the stickers.

One of my friends in my Corvette Club got his hands on a Carbon 65. You have to see it in person to see how REALLY good it looks.

^ I seen the car at the dealership while on vacation a few weeks back. Very nice looking car, and I think Ceramic Matrix Gray is a pretty underrated color.

For whatever it's worth, I read an article on another website, and apparently the Carbon 65 is really popular in Europe. Requests were made to receive the Carbon 65 beyond their original allocation, and GM delivered. Almost 20% of the 650 vehicles made are in the European market.

For those interested, Reeder Chevy in Knoxsville has one on sale for 86k, sticker is 93. I saw it last night, I don't think it will last long.

Pictures don't do this car justice. These are very nice when you see it close up. I think the reason there was more sales in Europe was because U.S. dealers were afraid to stock them after being burned by the collector GS. Any surplus was then offered to other countries.

I've warmed up to the Carbon 65s significantly since first seeing them at the Bash last year. Just learned a total of 213 - not 150 - were exported which leaves 437 in the USA! The special edition just got a little more exclusive!
