Corvette Racing’s Doug Fehan did a podcast with IMSA Radio to kick off the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech Championship season. Truth be told, I have yet to listen to the whole 1 hour and 38 minutes of the podcast and am saving it for my Saturday morning drive from Tampa to Daytona as I head to the Roar Before the 24.
On Thursday morning, Corvette Forum member “Zerv02” started a thread called “C8 will be at NAIAS 2019” and said that both the Coupe and Spider models will be part of a surprise unveiling on January 14th. When asked about his credibility being on the line, he replied: “My source never lets me down”.

My copy of Corvette Special Editions arrived here at the Detroit Bureau last week just a couple days before the latest round of C8 spy shots hit the interwebs. With what appears to be a new generation of Corvette arriving sooner rather than later, I got to thinking about what we’d remember most about the C7. Aside from the insane ZR1 it’ll probably be one of the many special editions offered since 2014.

This weekend is the Roar Before the 24 where IMSA teams descend on Daytona International Speedway to begin testing for the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech Championship Series.
Corvette Racing brought their C7.Rs to the track this weekend and as always we like to see if there are any changes to the racing livery for the year.
Here’s your opportunity to help a great charity – and wind up with a rare Corvette once owned by a NASCAR racing legend.
The Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation – which supports pediatric cancer research, treatment, and patient support programs – will be receiving the entire sale price from his 2016 Z06 C7.R special edition when it crosses the block at no reserve during the Barrett-Jackson Auction later this month.
Spring Mountain Motor Resort is a Corvette “track rat’s” paradise and anyone that has participated in the Corvette Owner’s School there has experienced that first hand.
I’ve been a school participant three times since 2014 and also joined National Corvette Salesman, Mike Furman, to chronicle one of his customer appreciation schools last year. You can read about that experience here!

DETROIT (Jan. 2, 2019) – A new season for Corvette Racing will bring a familiar look and feel to race fans across North America in 2019 as the program confirmed its lineup today for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It’s a roster that remains intact for the fourth consecutive year.
GM released their sales totals this morning for Fourth Quarter 2018. During the months of October, November, and December, the automaker reported a total of 3,910 Corvettes sold. This is a -36.8% decline from the number Corvettes sold during the 4th quarter of 2018. It also represents a decline of -15.7% from the 3rd Quarter ’18 sales of 4,639.
For the 2018 Calendar Year, GM sold 18,791 Corvettes in the USA, a decline of -25.1% over the 25,079 delivered during 2017.
Now that the new year is here, the National Corvette Museum has opened the registration for the annual Michelin NCM Bash that will be held April 25-27, 2019 in Bowling Green, KY.
Corvette restomods have a history of bringing in the big dollars at auction and we are expecting this twin-turbo 1963 Corvette Sting Ray to do very well when it crosses the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction later this month.
