You’d better hurry if you hope to snap up a 2020 Corvette Stingray coupe owned by a legendary name in the racing world.
Only a little more than 22 hours remain in the Bring a Trailer auction for the first-year Torch Red over Natural Leather C8 owned by former Corvette Racing program manager and current brand ambassador Doug Fehan.
So far, the high bid is just $73,500, which obviously isn’t going to be anywhere near what this 2LT coupe would bring on the open market these days.
Fehan’s ride is a very, very early C8, being #1571 of the 20,368 built at the Bowling Green factory during the model year, and Fehan took delivery of the car in March 2020.
Notable options include the body color exterior accents with front and rear grilles and side vents painted Torch Red, Front Lift, Bright Red-painted brake calipers, and the usual 2LT options of head-up display, heated and ventilated seats, upgraded 14-speaker Bose audio system, performance data recorder, front curb-view camera, power-folding mirrors, rear camera mirror, and side blind zone and rear cross traffic alerts. Fehan also added paint protection film to the nose, hood, and front fenders. On the notable “what’s missing” list is any kind of rear spoiler.
Fehan has driven the car just 5,372 miles, at least at the time of the photos provided in the listing, and since he’s used to high-speed Corvette racing, it’s no surprise to find that an aftermarket radar detector has also been installed.
No word in the listing on why Fehan is selling his C8 Corvette, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a 2022 IMSA GTLM Championship Edition or a 2023 Z06 sitting in his driveway one day.

It should be interesting to see the high bid in this now cooling market.
He has an identical car ordered and expects it any day now. Given that he can buy a two year newer car for the same cost is what he cited as to why he was selling it.
I’ll be following this sale, it’s a barometer reading of sorts. I also have a 2020 C8, torch red, LT2 with the Z51 package, GT2 adrenaline red buckets and XPEL protection on the front and sides. A big difference from Doug’s – mine has never raced and it has only 1500 miles on the odometer.
Body color accents, no dumb-ass wing and no black wheels, I love it………….And by the way, Mitch, The front grills aren’t painted body color.
Car is not more special than any other C8. Guy puts his pants on just like the rest of us.
He said he was buying a 22 for the same price as he was selling his 20 for and that it has exactly the same specs. When asked if what his wait time was to get the new one he joked, he had special connections being in the business for decades. He showed little interest in a Z06 given what the Stingray can already do on public roads.
I think it’s up to $81K right now…a few hours to go.
DT, “now cooling market”? I don’t understand.
Given that half of the people who want one, can’t get them, the cooling market is still plenty hot.
