Gotcha. I wonder what GM will charge for this lame 70th AE pkg. I don't plan to get the AE pkg or load mine up with everything

it was stated 6995 but that is most likely including stuff. I don’t know how they will package it but those are optional wheels included in the 70th along with upcharged paint color plus stripes, and the other stuff. I would bet the package is 1500 more then just adding the same options to a non 70th car.

Traditional wedding anniversary colors.

No, z07 convertible with the package. So maybe that is the top of the price range

The 60th anniversary pkg was just over $1000 plus an additional $850 for the stripes.

The Centennial Edition pkg included the wheels and was $4995, I believe. We can see they’re at $6995 with the C8.R pkg, so anticipate somewhere in that ballpark.

To my disappointment it looks like the carbon wheels will not be offered with the anniversary package Unfortunately, I wanted it cause I actually love the interior but won’t choose the package over the wheels.

They really missed an opportunity to build a beautiful car and absolutely blew it. Think about what a pearl white HTC with a adrenaline red interior would have looked like even if they didn't change anything else including the extra badging.

The visualizer has never had pricing on any models. The Build and Price website is where pricing is found and the 2023 Build and Price site isn't up yet.

The carbon flash looks nice. Kinda wish it had more of a blue hue to it. One of those pictures tricked my eyes thinking it did. Or maybe it does and I’m crazy.

Just buy carbon fiber wheels over the counter and have them put on...?!? Or wait and see what is actually available when the orders are actually available...

I don't believe anyone has any "accurate" information on any of the specifics for the Z06

I have a feeling the exposed carbon wheels will be about a 10,000 option. Over the counter I can see them being 15-18,000

Default Corvette celebrates milestone with 70th anniversary edition

Press Release:
DETROIT –
2023 marks the 70th anniversary of Corvette, the longest running nameplate of any car on the road today. For eight generations, Corvette has pushed the boundaries of technology, performance and style while remaining an attainable cultural icon.

The 2023 model year Corvette Stingray and Corvette Z06 will celebrate this milestone with a special 70th Anniversary Edition package.

“Passion for Corvette runs deep at Chevrolet and this anniversary is extra special because of the excitement and sales success we’ve achieved with the eighth generation of America’s iconic sportscar,” said Steve Majoros, vice president, Chevrolet marketing. “Even after 70 years, Corvette still makes hearts race and kids dream of the open road.”




70th Anniversary Edition Corvettes will stand out in one of two exterior colors unique to this package – an all-new White Pearl Metallic Tri-coat or Carbon Flash Metallic. Optional stripes are available in complementing colors – Satin Gray with the White Pearl Metallic Tri-coat and Satin Black with the Carbon Flash Metallic.

The 70th Anniversary Edition Corvettes feature distinct wheels with commemorative wheel center caps. While Stingray and Z06 each have separate wheel designs, the wheels share a similar dark finish and Edge Red stripe.

Inside the cockpit, drivers will find two-tone Ceramic leather GT2 or Competition Sport seats, red stitching throughout, red seatbelts, and sueded microfiber seat inserts and steering wheel.

Additional content includes:
  • 70th Anniversary Edition exterior badging, including special Corvette crossflags
  • Edge Red brake calipers
  • 70th Anniversary Edition logo on seats, steering wheel and sill plates
  • Rear bumper protector and trunk cover
  • Custom luggage set with red stitching and 70th Anniversary Edition logo
70th Anniversary Edition Stingray coupes will also include an Edge Red engine cover.

The 70th Anniversary Edition package will be available when production starts later this year on 2023 Corvette Stingray 3LT and Z06 3LZ coupe and convertible models. The 2023 Corvette Z06 visualizer, live on Chevrolet.com, now includes the 70th Anniversary Edition package.

All 2023 Corvettes, including those not equipped with the 70th Anniversary Edition package, will feature a commemorative 70th anniversary interior plaque located on the center speaker grille and a graphic imprinted on the lower rear window.

Corvette is offering buyers more options in 2023 to make each vehicle bespoke and personalized, raising the number of choices to 14 available exterior colors and eight interior colors that allow for thousands of combinations.

America’s Supercar is raising the stakes for military families

The first-ever retail production mid-engine Corvette Z06 will be a 70th Anniversary Edition. VIN 001 of this highly anticipated special edition Corvette Z06 will cross the auction block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022, with proceeds benefitting Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit focused on building strong, stable and secure military families who can thrive – not simply struggle to get by – in the communities they’ve worked hard to protect.

Since 2017, Chevrolet has been a proud supporter of Operation Homefront. Chevrolet has provided seven Silverado full-size trucks to the organization’s six regional offices and headquarters, and donated funding for services.

Legendary former Corvette Racing driver Oliver Gavin will drive the 2023 Corvette Z06 stand-in vehicle across the auction block for this special occasion

Sweet! They leaked the anti-gravity wheel tech in the visualizer.

That’s actually the new invisible wheel option, even more weight savings over the carbon fiber wheel.

Very frustrating you cannot get the carbon wheels on the car. Any guesses on how much more it would cost after the fact to buy them VS. Having the car optioned with them?

They've already removed the note, but it said it shaves another second off 1/4 mile and 3 seconds off a typical 2 minute lap. Pretty amazing.
