The new owner of this 1961 Corvette being offered on Bring a Trailer will just have to climb behind the wheel and take off to new adventures, if he likes.
So far, interest has been high in the car, with the high bid already reaching $53,000 with five days to go. Bidders might want to consider the $1,495 document fee being charged by the seller.
Bob’s not talking about driving a new Corvette, of course. He’s a bird. But there is something else he’d like to do a new Corvette, so keep those detailing rags handy.

The marketplace isn’t the only place where the Big Three pickup trucks are dominating other vehicles sold in America.
If you’re looking for a fast vehicle that also has some utility, you might want to take a look at this Chevy Silverado single cab pickup that recently racked up a couple of wins on a Florida dragstrip.
Back in the day, knowing a car’s invoice price was pretty helpful information when it came time to squeeze the best deal out of your dealer.
It still is for some cars, but not necessarily for the ultra-hot (but finally cooling) C8 Corvettes. Five years into their run, these mid-engine cars are still being sold at MSRP and higher in most cases – and sometimes way higher in the cases of the Z06 and E-Ray.
Turning 50 is a big deal, whether you’re a person or a car.
Just ask the folks at GM about the 50th birthday of the Corvette back in 2003.
To mark the occasion, the company first had GM designer Steve Pasteiner combine the look of the original 1953 Corvette and update it to fit on a C5 chassis with all the high-tech advancements of the past half-century. GM commissioned Magna Steyr to build a prototype that might end up being offered to customers as “THE” 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette. It resembled the original ’53 Corvette from the front end to the rear but offered modern performance upgrades of the past half-century.
The C8 Corvette Stingray is all about owner-customization, and it’s a great platform for owners who like to make their rides more personal. While we like the current set of factory OEM wheels you can order with your Stingray, the rather plain designs and colors have always had us wanting more. That’s where our friends at Miami-based E5 Wheels comes in.
The principals behind E5 Wheels have over 40 years in the wheels business as the original founders of American Force Wheels among other brands. E5 is bringing that expertise to the Corvette world with fresh new wheels specifically designed for America’s Favorite Sports Car. With their sophisticated designs and exceptional quality, E5 Wheels are the ideal choice for Corvette enthusiasts who only want the best for their rides.
Fresh off the success of launching two new wheels designs last year, the Daytona and Sebring, the company is kicking off 2024 with a new design called the Speedway. CorvetteBlogger readers can save 7% off your purchase of E5 wheels during checkout with the Promo Code: CB!

It’s been a little while since the heroes on the Corvette Team have had the C8 Corvette ZR1s out in public. Our last sight of them was at the Nurburgring in October last year where they shed their heavy black camo and raced around the German track in just GM’s vinyl camouflage. But now they are back and have been spied driving at least four new King of the Hills in Southern California.
Today is allocation day for Corvette dealers as the February 2024 ordering cycle opens next Thursday. We contacted multiple dealers from around the country to try to get an idea on what Chevrolet will be able to offer and the results are mixed.
C8 Corvettes from 2020-2024 sold in Canada are among the hundreds of thousands of vehicles affected by a recall for a lighting control software issue.

Now that we are in Year 5 for the C8 Corvette Stingray, many owners can now take the opportunity due to the cars no longer being under warranty to start adding some mods for MORE POWER! While turbo setups were popular in the early years of the C8 as a means for boosting horsepower, the supercharger manufacturers have caught up as evidenced by this video from Boost District.
