Yes, I really, really like the 427SE. But those were all going for full MSRP, everywhere. With the deal I got on this car, it would have been about a $12k difference, same options, just for the trim differences. I'm not rich, and I just couldn't afford it. One consolation is that I think this trim combo will end up much rarer than the SE.
No dates yet, but right now I'm projecting a Buyer's Tour in late April and Museum Delivery in mid-May.
I talked to the fellow that runs VetteStripes.com. He is working on a clone of the 427SE hood stripe. I think that stripe, in black, would look great on the Atomic Orange, and then add the 427 hood emblems. That's the current plan, and the orange w/black stripe combo has already resulted in the car's name: Atomic Tiger.
Now I just need to figure out how to get laser beams to shoot out of it's headlights....
Blackout tailights and rear side makers to complete the look. I'm not usually a huge fan of blackouts, but I think the red clashes with the orange. I'm going to get body color FRCs for the same reason.
Today I ordered the very first part for it: a Great Lakes visor mount for my Valentine 1. First things first!
I take it you are thinking you'll be needing the Valentine........
