~14 of the 18 were Manual Transmissions...and 9 of the 18 were Convt's! Both of those stats I did not know until today when I made this list.<<<
8 of the 18 were Blue and 5 were Red.

*18* ...I am sure there are many more Corvettes to own in my lifetime.

I have been selling Corvette's as a Corvette Hobbyist since 3 weeks before my 18th birthday in 1978! So I have 40 yrs of Corvette experience.
The Indy 500 Pace Car Corvette is what got my interest up in Corvettes...yet the 3rd Generation Corvette is the only Generation that I have never owned!

Welcome to the MECF!

Good read. Some great Corvettes on that list. LMB C6 Z06 - - there aren't very many of those. Your current Z and its blue - man what a great color. They need to bring that back.

I agree, that Blue interior on the C7 is really cool. I heard rumors that Brownstone may make a comeback someday.

As you told me before on another site " imitation is the best form of flattery" . After seeing the blue brake calipers on your Corvette and had to get them done ... Thanks

Sorry but haven't figured out how to delete some of the pictures ...

There are so many good colors, it creates a dilemma. My current car is a 2010 Velocity Yellow. After I bought it I saw a stunning blue C6 Z06 for sale that almost made me change my mind. Yesterday I was looking at a red C7 thinking what a nice color it was. Decisions........

Now you know how I feel...every day I go into work...my office overlooks 140 Corvettes in stock and the inbound truck deliveries come three times weekly...teasing me every moment with different colors etc.

My first was Le Mans Blue, 2nd black, 3rd Shark Grey, 4th Long Beach Red. I missed out on 3 colors that I really liked - Admiral Blue, Watkins Glen Grey and Velocity Yellow (which I think is closer to the Corvette Racing Yellow than the the actual color called Corvette Racing Yellow).
