Corvette Mike\u2019s Thundering Thursday | Volume 8-26 \u2022 March 4, 2021
\"c8
When Chevrolet brought out the 2021 Corvette, they did it without a price increase, but as of March 1, the base price of all C8 models have increased by $1,000. That means the new base price for a Corvette is $60,995. It also means Chevy can no longer advertise the C8 as a sub-$60,000 sports car.<\/p>\n

Autoblog reached out to GM and got this statement: \u201cThe MSRP of the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupe and convertible at all trim levels will increase by $1,000 beginning March 1. We monitor and adjust pricing on all our products regularly, and we\u2019re confident the Corvette remains a winning formula of performance and attainability.\u201d Orders inputted, and marked as SOLD, before March 2 will not be impacted by the price increase.<\/p>\n

2023 C8 May Get Interior Changes<\/h3>\n

\"c8<\/p>\n

Rumors are being reported that the current GM design chief Michael Simcoe is not a fan of the center console button layout on the C8. The central console puts a small wall between driver and passenger and fills the top of it with buttons for the AC and seat heat\/vents. This design has gotten some bad feedback from customers, and Chevy is listening. The new layout may be introduced in 2023 according to reports.<\/p>\n

Corvette Owner\u2019s Corner<\/h3>\n

Bob bought this C1 from Corvette Mike in 2018 and is #644 off the assembly line. This Fawn Beige 1962 is a numbers matching 327, four speed, Posi Traction, and matching fawn beige interior. Bob says \u201cthis car gets more attention than I ever expected because it dazzles with the fawn beige color, all the bright work and the timeless design.\u201d He has shown his Vette at the Huntington Beach Concours and taken first place for C-1\u2019s daily driver in 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n

1969 Corvette L71 427\/435<\/h2>\n

Frame Off Restored!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"1969<\/p>\n

\"whatmikelikes\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u201969 Sharks were great cars! The growing pains of \u201968 were pretty much all gone by then. But what I liked most was a very rare, one year only option, designated N14. This was the side mounted exhaust system. It consisted of 2 long insulated mufflers surrounded by chrome finned covers and was only available in \u201969. To me, this was one of the coolest options ever offered on a Corvette. Add to it the L71, 427\/435hp big block (like the car featured here) and you had an almost unbeatable combination of power and style!<\/em><\/p>\n

And it sounds MEAN!!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"1969<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The beautiful and very correct Fathom Green example presented here is one of those that left St. Louis with the N14 exhaust. \u00a0It\u2019s also equipped with the L71 427\/435hp big block, M21 close ratio 4-spd., K66 Transistorized Ignition, tinted glass, power brakes, headlight washers and more.<\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

The car has undergone an extensive, frame off restoration and it is believed that the factory drivetrain is still in place (as evidenced in a report by C3 guru Mark Donnally). \u00a0The car has received an N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award and factory docs include an N.C.R.S. validated Tank Sticker, Owner\u2019s Kit and keys.<\/p>\n

Guinness World Record for of Chevrolet Memorabilia
Being sold by blind auction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are so many items in the Corvette-themed collection that he changed the way Guinness World Records classifies car collecting. Anyone can go on a giant shopping spree and buy a bunch of cars, Mallon said. Eventually Guinness created a new category for \u201cCorvette items,\u201d and in 2012, Charles was awarded the world record.
