A debate is raging on the internet about whether this 1969 Corvette coupe is a survivor.
In the strictest sense of the word, it’s probably not because of a repaint early in its life. But that’s picking nits over a car that remains largely original, otherwise.

A white 1994 Corvette coupe is just a pile of rubble after being burnt to a crisp by a fire in Florida on Monday afternoon.
Owner William Harrington had been restoring the car for the past couple of years and told a reporter for NBC2 News he had already invested about $20,000 in the car.

We know from spy photos and video sightings that Corvette engineers are busy developing future C8 Corvette models and based on history as well as recent sightings, it’s widely believed that it’s the high-performance Z06 that is next on the reveal list. And while we have these Z06s mules running around conducting tests on public roads, it was last June that something entirely different was spied for the time…a C8 widebody mule with a center-mounted exhaust.
This 1967 Corvette L88 Coupe in Sunfire Yellow crossed the auction block at Mecum’s Glendale sale this Saturday where it hammered sold for $2.45 million. With the buyer’s commission, the final price to bring home this rare “holy grail” Corvette was $2,650,000.
Last week we were surprised as Corvette Racing unloaded their two C8.Rs with a special Sebring livery to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the team’s partnership with Mobil 1 motor oil. Corvette Racing’s special relationship with Mobil 1 has combined for 114 wins around the world, and the new livery for the 12 Hours of Sebring featured both C8.Rs in Gray with Red and White graphics differentiating the No. 3 from the No. 4 C8.R.
Chevrolet is feverishly working on a compromise scenario with IMSA officials to compete in the 2022 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, despite simply not having enough time to build a fully homologated GT3-spec Corvette by then.
“We’re working as fast as we can,” GM sports car racing program manager Laura Wontrop Klauser told Sportscar365, “and we’re trying to get an answer.”

Our good friend Byron Glover Jr of the Drive 615 YouTube Channel managed to get his hands on another mid-engine Corvette to review and this time it’s a 2021 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe in the new popular color of Red Mist Metallic. This Stingray features a 2LT trim package and some nice options which brings the MSRP to a little over $81K.
Like all his automotive reviews, Byron offers us a great walk-around of the car and shows off some of the features before jumping behind the wheel for a drive where the review continues. We always appreciate Byron’s take on the car as he puts it through its paces. With this video coming after his 2020 Convertible review, he also highlights the differences between the Coupe to the Convertible C8 he tested previously. And what other auto reviewer who is 6’5″ would try to fit in the Frunk!
