Default 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette

I'm surprised that no one posted this up yet. I think it looks mean as hell. I love the microfiber suede with the red stitching. I hope GM sells everyone produced. Old men will prob buy this special edition to feel young again lol.

Side note, I can't wait to see the C7.

Rick Hendrick purchased a Z06 Centennial Edition on April 9th for $175,000 - it was the 100th one produced and was auctioned at Barrett Jackson. The money was donated to the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer.

I'm wondering the same thing. It looks damn good, but for almost $100k more? I'll stick with a ZR1...

They arent all $100k, just the one sold for charity at barret jackson...I'm sure its only a few thousand dollars on top of the base price, available on all corvettes.

The end of the video says that it is a option that can be added onto the base, grand sport, Z06, or ZR1.

Yep, they sold a 93 40th C4 Vette at auction for some charity, sold for close to 300K. Those guys will send big if a charity is involved, what car doesn't even matter.
