It is just a Vette with decals. Not sure why it would need a special section. A 65th Anniversary Car but like all the anniversary cars not substantially different from the other cars.

I don’t care for the decals but they did use quite a bit of carbon fiber on the aero and rear quarter air flaps etc and they look awesome in person. However I’d take those stupid decals off immediately.

You guys haven't seen the interior of the Carbon 65 Edition?

I like the car. The interior is a well thought out set of options. The carbon fiber rear spoiler is also stunning. The carbon fiber contrasts very well with the ceramic matrix gray

Random thoughts:
The Carbon 65 threads started when details about the vehicle were released, but died down in a couple of months. It doesn't have the long standing fanbase of the 2017 Collector's Edition, at least based on this forum.
From what I've read, there's really a love/hate relationship with this particular model. Also, the C65 seems to be very popular in Europe as they made additional requests to receive the vehicle from its limited 650 allocation and was granted.
I did see the vehicle back in December at a local dealership. Definitely better in person than in pics. Would I buy it? Probably not, but I wouldn't shun anyone who would. Love the gloss interior carbon fiber dashboard. That's the one thing I missed out on (that I wished I could've had) since this option wasn't available in the 2017 product line.

Just one of the things that drew me to this car. I always have avoided cars with black interiors. However the blue stitching on the seats, doors, dash, steering wheel, shifter and headliner really looked classy to me, nice and subtle. I really liked it. Still do and get lots of complements on it.
I agree, all the carbon fiber contrasts well with the ceramic matrix gray. Lots of exposed carbon on the car, Areo 2 package is also exposed carbon, as are the rear scoops upper and lower.
Not sure why the 2017 has such a lager fan base, and not near the interest in this one. Very true Europe seems to love this one. Only 437 domestic cars, so half of the 2017 one.

Only 437 in the USA, 650 total.
I originally thought I would remove my door decal. I have changed my mind for now.
I put a lot of thought into it before I bought it. If it would have had an Automatic I would not have bought it. I prefer manual corvettes
Less then 50 of the Grand Sport Carbons with the 7 speed, didn't know this when I bought it.

When the package was announced, 150 out of the 650 total Carbon 65s were planned for export, but when the official production stats were released, the final tally showed 213 exports while 437 were sold domestically.
