August 2014 Corvette Sales

The latest sales report is out from General Motors and it shows Corvette sales remain strong as the 2014 model year comes to a close. During the month of August 2014, GM sold 2,679 Corvettes. The sales numbers for August now contains both 2014 and 2015 Corvette Stingrays which started production earlier in the month.

Comparing yearly sales to August 2013 which was still the outgoing 2013 C6 models, only 655 Corvettes were sold in August 2013 as opposed to the 2,679 Corvettes in August 2014 for a 309% increase.

Compared to July 2014’s sales of 3,060 Corvettes, sales declined 381 units or 12.5%. For the calendar year to date (January-August 2014), a total of 23,483 Corvettes have been delivered, an increase of 235.5% over 2013’s Calendar Year to Date Sales of 6,999.

Speaking of deliveries, we spoke with Lori Bieschke at the NCM’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. Lori coordinates the Corvette Museum’s R8C Delivery Program and she confirmed the Corvette Museum has hosted over 1,200 deliveries in the last year which is a record for the R8C program. She’s pretty excited this week as the first owners of the 2015 Corvette Stingrays will start museum deliveries this Friday, September 5th.
