Chevrolet’s newest Corvette limited edition is the
Stars & Steel package which will help celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States. Most, if not all, of these 250 Corvettes were placed as orders during the first March 2026 Corvette Order Cycle and thanks to a friend, we’ve got some initial numbers on how these special Corvettes will be produced.

The package is offered in two different colors and available across all models and body styles. The two different Stars & Stripes versions will be offered in either Arctic White with the Santorini Blue interior, or Black with the Adrenaline Red interior. Each version also has its own color of the flag-inspired stripe and graphics. Those in Arctic White will get a Satin Silver tonal package while the Black cars will be outfitted in Satin Black.

The price for the Stars & Steel package added $9,995 to the MSRP for the coupes and convertibles ordered, and yes, we expect to see some serious ADMs (additional dealer markups) on these cars.

Based on the way that Chevrolet allocated these cars, the vast majority of the 250 were submitted as Dealer Stock orders while a minority went into the system as a Customer Sold orders. So keep in mind that this is only a snapshot of those orders submitted as Dealer Stock orders and not a total of the complete Stars & Steel orders. Based on these totals, we can see 190 of the 250 Corvettes which represents 76% of the Stars and Steel builds. That would mean another 60 were placed as Customer Sold Orders.

Here is the breakdown of those 190 Stars & Steel Corvettes placed as Dealer Stock orders:

We saw a number of dealers suddenly advertising availabilities for these limited edition Corvettes last week after the constraints came out, so they are out there if you want to try and snag one. We suggest searching Facebook for “Stars & Steel” and you will see a number of them in the search results. Once they have been completed, they should become available on the Chevrolet Live Inventory Tracker at Chevrolet.com

  1. I like the Stars and Stripes better than the GS. They should offer the engines as an option like they did in the 60s. A Z51 with 535 or 7 whatever would be a good buy. Why won’t they offer the new engines as an option?
    I have just about been priced out of the Corvette plus I cant get a wider body than my 70th Anniversary Edition in my garage. Let’s move on to the next model while some of us are still alive
