1962 Last Year of C1 14,531 Built
1967 Last Year of C2 22,940 Built
1982 Last Year of C3 25,407 Built
1996 Last year of C4 21,536 Built
2004 Last Year of C5 34,064 Built
In 1996 the last year of the C4 everybody knew about the all new C5 coming and the 1996 car out sold the 1995 car.
Samething in 2004 the C6 was coming but it didn't hurt 2004 sales.
With the 60th Anniversary Editions, The 427 Convertible, and maybe the last year for both the ZO6 and ZR-1 I think sales will do just fine. Remember not everybody will like the C7, some buyers may like the C6 better. Until we see the real car and what is under the hood then buyers will either want it or want the last C6's!!!

Sure, in about 6 years the c7 sales will start to slow and out will come the "new" gs's and the zr1's to boost interest and sales as they develop the c8.

seems to me with the model year ending early, and the new model not coming out for IIRC six months or so, the '13 model year cars will be stockpiled by dealers in the know. and those '13s will sell continuously until the new one comes out.
after all, with every new generation of corvette announced, there've always been those who say they'll take the last and best (most improved) year of the outgoing generation. just look at this thread and many others.
