You’ve probably seen your fair share of C7 Corvettes on the road by now. Maybe even a healthy number of C7 Grand Sports.
But chances are you’ve never crossed paths with a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport convertible wearing Sterling Blue Metallic—one of the rarest colors ever sprayed on a C7.
How rare?
Just 98 Grand Sport convertibles left Bowling Green in this one year only shade. Across all C7 models combined, only 921 cars ever wore Sterling Blue. That’s unicorn territory.
And now one of those unicorns is up for grabs at the Corvette King, Les Stanford Chevrolet in Dearborn, Michigan. The dealership—now tied for second in the nation in new Corvette sales with Ciocca—has this beautifully preserved, preowned Grand Sport sitting on its lot, waiting for the next caretaker.
Visually, it’s a knockout. The Sterling Blue paint pairs perfectly with the gray soft top and the two-tone Jet Black/Medium Ash Gray 3LT interior. With just 13,790 miles on the odometer, the car has clearly been loved, not abused. The asking price: $66,895.
This first-year C7 GS comes loaded with the performance gear that made the model such a sweet spot between the Stingray and the Z06:
Z06 style grille, wider fenders, front splitter, rockers, and wicker bill spoiler
• Brembo brakes (6 piston front, 4 piston rear)
• Magnetic Selective Ride Control
• Electronic limited slip differential (eLSD)
• Dry sump oiling
• Performance exhaust with quad polished tips
• Aluminum frame and performance tuned suspension
The 3LT package brings all the good stuff:
• Custom Leather Wrapped Interior Package
• Sueded microfiber upper trim
• Power tilt/telescoping steering column
• Flat bottom leather steering wheel with audio and DIC controls
• Memory Package
• Dual zone climate control
• Keyless Open and Start
• Universal Home Remote
• Auto dimming rearview mirror
• Plenty of smart storage, including an electric locking glovebox
In short: it’s the full Grand Sport experience—performance, rarity, and luxury all rolled into one striking Sterling Blue package.
If you’re hunting for a C7 that stands out from the crowd, this one definitely should be on your list.

OK, GM, bring back this awesome color for the C8!
They left out the most important thing, what kind of transmission does it have? I would need to know that fact, before I would even consider buying it.
I actually knew a dude that used to own one exactly like this. It was a pretty thing.
It would be a real unicorn 🦄 with a M7. Probably worth 10% more.
Sterling Blue Metallic is the C7’s equivalent of Ceramic Matrix Gray on the C8. They’re both disgusting colors.
It sold 10 minutes after we brought it in showroom
