Been a member for a while but I've been away for a while. Started membership when I have my old '92 "reverse grand sport". After selling that old car, I've been in C6s but not Grand Sports. Not sure I'm in a GS now either but the new Vette is a GS based car.

It is a 60th anniversary 427 convertible with the stripe package. The order tracking site says it is a Grand Sport 4LT with the historic 427 package but the paperwork on it calls it a "427 Convertible" and it has its own model designation.

Picked it up Saturday afternoon late.

Congrats, Tuna. Beautiful car.

Yes, I agree with your other post... the car definitely needs Hashmarks!

It is obviously NOT a Grand Sport but they may call it that because it uses so many Grand Sport components.

Sweet ride, regardless!

Thanks Hutch.
4 days old now and 165 miles on it and it's getting rained on out in the office parking lot. Oh well, it will wash.
