This 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 3LT Convertible Z51 70th Anniversary Edition is a gorgeous C8 Corvette with fantastic options and accessories, and still sporting delivery mileage. When Chevrolet introduced the Corvette back in January 1953 at the New York City Waldorf-Astoria at General Motors' Motorama Display, few would be able to predict how much of a Grand Slam the GM marque hit. While the first couple years of Corvettes were essentially boulevard cruisers, they started getting their performance-oriented reputation in 1955 with the introduction of the V8. Throughout the history of the Corvette, Chevrolet released new body styles, informally referred to as "C1," C2," "C3," etc. When 1978 rolled around, Chevrolet marked the Corvette's 25th anniversary with a Silver Anniversary Edition package. In the years that followed, Chevrolet continued to market Anniversary Editions for the 35th, 40th, 50th and 60th Anniversaries of the iconic 2 seater. While rumblings of a mid-engine Corvette existed since as early as 1959 under famed Corvette designer Zora Arkus-Duntov, it wasn't until 2020 that the mid-engine Corvettes finally made their long awaited debut, colloquially known as the C8 Corvette. The new C8 Corvette design finally had a mid-mounted engine comparable to many of the Corvette's foreign supercar rivals. In 2023, on the precipice of the Corvette's 70th Anniversary, Chevrolet released it's 70th Anniversary Special Edition Corvette in the new C8 body with several homages to the original 1953 Corvette. This particular 2023 Corvette Stingray 3LT Convertible Z51 70th Anniversary Edition comes to us with fewer than 100 original miles and seemingly all of the original paperwork and accessories. Powering this mid-engine Stingray is a 6.2 Liter Direct Injection V8 engine that is said to push out 495 horsepower and 465 foot pounds of torque. The 6.2L V8 is mated to an 8-Speed Dual Clutch Automatic Transmission which means that just about anybody can take this Corvette for a spin around the block. Standard equipment on this 2023 Corvette Convertible includes items such as power steering, 4 wheel Brembo power disc brakes, LED headlights, power folding heated outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, front and rear vision cameras, blind spot alert system, and more.
