It is a universally agreed-upon fact (amongst the voices in my head, anyway) that the C7’s best interior choice was Adrenaline Red, and its best paint option was Sebring Orange… but, because of this annoying color theory thing, perspective owners were forced to make the difficult choice between the two when the time to order came a-knocking. That is, of course, unless you were one shameless customer in Massachusetts who threw complementary colors to the wind and spec’d their C7Z with the best of both worlds. Now, you, dear Corvette Blogger reader, have the chance to be owner number two of this collision of worlds.
Up for grabs from Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Millbury is a 2019 2LZ Z06 Coupe with 3,045 miles, Spectra Gray Wheels, the Z07 Ultimate Performance Package, and a 7-speed manual transmission. It sounds like a perfect build, and that’s exactly what I thought when this bad boy showed up in my Autolist feed. So, what if the red calipers weren’t quite right for an orange car? It happens more often than you’d think, and this thing was the rare find one that was seemingly built just for me! Then, in picture four, more of that clashing red started to peer out from behind the glass. Could it be? A scrolling fury revealed what I had feared, the Adrenaline Red that made Arctic White pop like never before was slathered on the dash, doors, and seats, combining with the orange doorsill to burn my retinas like George Costanza’s shirt.
The on the positive side, this final year, C7Z has all of the best options, meaning that it will be the best possible way to experience the 650-horse Corvette. It is also all-but-guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind build, meaning it could lead to some curiously high bidding at Mecum in 25 years. In fact, the orange over red motif might take its place next to Napoleon Dynamite on the “so bad, it might actually be good” list. At the very least, this Z will start conversations everywhere you go, even somewhere like “the Bash,” where jaded patrons think they have seen everything!
If you are bold enough, this outrageous example of the Big Nasty can be yours for $84,998. Be sure to let us know if you end up taking delivery! Anyone who would drive this beast is the kind of person that can be our friend any day!

What was the owner thinking? Hold my beer and let me option this car in the worst possible combination of colors! If so? He or she succeeded.
Not entirely sure if red and orange can be considered clashing by default. Maybe if they put flame decals on the side and hood this could make sense. Not my thing, though.
Interesting looking to say the least!
ladies , thik ‘wrap’…………
heehee , jus funnin
The color red is, after all, a component of orange, so there’s that. Maybe the yellow (the other component of orange) brake calipers would’ve made more sense? Probably not. But to each his or her own, I guess.
No 500 mile oil change, poor maintenance history. No thanks.
Maybe the person who bought it was color blind and wore Garanimals as a child. That’s all I’ve got.
You’d think, but tell that to the TWO people that ordered a 2021 C8 with brown on yellow/grey. I’m sure they were both assuming such a travesty would make it a one off…
Truly terrible, what a waste!
Waste of an article. Nothing special about this car. I personally like a black interior as it doesn’t show dirt or wear and color can be touched up if necessary.
I have a 2019 G S red with red interior heritage package with full white center stripe with
orange hash stripes! Has any one seen any orange hash stripes at all! And it looks good very low key. Got the idea from a 1979 Z28 I had that was red with its stripping kit in shades of orange.
@Barry Renaud, I have a 2017 Watkins Glen Gray GS with orange hash marks and black wheels. That car turns heads like Pam Anderson did back in the day. I bought it for the hash marks… just happened to come with a Corvette
Meh? I’ve seen worse.
Camaro is better
When l got my C7, it is yellow with black interior. I might not have picked this if l had a big choice. But it’s my corvette now and l
iF EVER A PROBLEM COULD BE CURED WITH A WRAP, THIS IS IT.
