According to\u00a0GMAuthority.com<\/a>, the 2026 Corvette Stingray is bringing big updates from fresh paint colors to a redesigned interior, and even the debut of the powerhouse ZR1X hybrid. But not all changes are additions.<\/p>\n

Two wheel options are being dropped for 2026, including the popular Carbon Flash painted Q8Q wheels, with no replacement planned. The old base wheels are replaced by five-split-spoke Pearl Nickel forged aluminum wheels. That means the Stingray\u2019s wheel choices drop from ten to nine.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of the outgoing styles, now\u2019s the time to grab a 2025 while they\u2019re still available.<\/p>\n

Man and machine reunite!<\/p>\n
Years ago, I found myself at Barrett-Jackson, surrounded by chrome and horsepower, when one car in particular stopped me in my tracks, a stunning Goodwood Green Corvette with the rarely seen Dark Green interior. It was a unique combination I hadn\u2019t come across before, and I knew right then it was the one. So, I raised my hand and made it mine.<\/p>\n
Over the years, I enjoyed every mile behind the wheel of that car. But as time passed, I realized I wanted to preserve and enhance it, not just for myself, but for the years of enjoyment still ahead. That\u2019s when I turned to Corvette Mike. I asked for his honest opinion and guidance on how to take this special car to the next level.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not saying it was a quick or easy process, perfection never is, but what I can say is that the result was worth every moment. My L71 435hp with side pipes now absolutely gleams in the sunlight. It\u2019s better than I ever imagined.<\/p>\n
Recently, Mike and I took it out for a long, winding cruise. And somewhere along that ride, the years fell away. That same smile from my youth, the one burned into my memory, came right back to my face.<\/p>\n
Thank you, Mike and team, for helping keep this dream alive.<\/p>\n
Steve Z.<\/p>\n

The fact that this car still exists today is nothing short of miraculous! Especially given that most of the early concept cars showcased by GM were later destroyed at the completion of their auto show circuit tours. Now for the first time in decades, it\u2019s available to be seen! \u00a0And for only one very lucky person, available to be taken into custody as its sole caretaker. Could this be you?<\/p>\n
