GM surpassed expectations for sales in January, which is great news.  Would the same be true for the Corvette, given all the hype of the new 2009 Corvette ZR1 and the North American International Auto Show?  The answer:  No.

January isn't normally the strongest month for Vette sales nationally, given the majority of the country is stuck in snow (like us) until late March.  That said, sales of Corvettes were down almost 10% from 2007's figures for January.  Here are the details:

• Corvettes Sold in January 2008:  2,015    (-9.8%)
  
  
• Corvettes Sold in January 2007:  2,234

One of the two new colors on Corvettes that draws attention this year is Jetstream Blue.  I saw my first Vette in Jetstream Blue last summer at the Woodward Dream Cruise.  Fitted with the Beige Top and the Cashmere Leather Interior, this automobile is simply outstanding in its appearance.  Collectors in the future will treasure this combination as one of the best from Corvette's C6 generation, in my opinion.

The gorgeous 3LT Convertible pictured to the right includes virtually every option you might desire, short of two-tone trim.  The Dual Mode Exhaust takes the HP up to 436.  The 2.73 Rear Axle Ratio and the 6-Speed Paddle Automatic Transmission provide fun and versatility of use.  The Chrome Aluminum Wheels, Power Convertible Top, Heated Power Seats, DVD Navigation Radio, Head-Up Display, and Memory Package all add to beauty, ease, and convenience.

This particular car, our Stock Number QC0129, is available to the readers of CorvetteBlog as part of our Corvette Countdown to Christmas Program at a savings of $6970 off the MSRP of $66,625, for a selling price of just $59,655!  Those having the GM Employee Discount will, of course, pay even less.  Call us at 1.888.875.0728 for details on how to make this amazing car yours.

Everybody wants one!  The 2008 Corvette Z06 with 6-speed manual and LS7 Engine with 505 horses and 470 pounds-feet of torque is clearly one of the best supercars in the world, yet priced like vehicles offering far less performance.

However, in light of reduced Corvette driving time in the Upper Midwestern part of the United States over the coming winter, George Matick Chevrolet, parent company to CorvetteBlog, is willing to offer our most awesome Black 2008 Z06 at a significant discount!

The M.S.R.P. of $77,790 means that this machine includes the Chromed Aluminum Wheels, the DVD Navigation-AM-FM-MP3-CD Radio, 2LZ Trim (Heated Seats, Memory Package, Side Impact Airbags, and much more).  The Selling Price of just $71,627 offers you a spectacular opportunity to put this car in your driveway!  You can save $6163, but this car should move fast.  Don't delay.

We can assist in arranging shipment.  We can meet you at the airport.  We can hold in storage for spring pickup.  Just let us know.  Email may be too slow to take advantage of this offer.  Call me at 1-888-875-0728 ASAP!

If you have been following the 2008 Corvette constraints issue, you know that very few top-of-the-line 4LT trimmed Corvettes have been built.  Constraints are restrictions from the factory on certain equipment.

CorvetteBlog's parent dealership has acquired for immediate purchase one of these sweet 4LT Coupes!  GM Employee Discount and GM Supplier for Friends Discount pricing will be honored.  In fact, if you do not qualify for either of these discounts, CorvetteBlog readers will be entitled to the Supplier Discount anyway!  Just ask!

You can write a comment to this blog, or call 888-875-0728 for immediate attention.  We will keep your inquiry private.  Several photographs and the vehicle description follow the jump:

The 1992 Marocco II Corvette may be the Corvette no one has ever heard of.  Yesterday, AutoBlog reported that it is for sale.

I checked out my personal copies of some of the best books written on Corvette: Corvette: Fifty Years, Corvette Illustrated Encyclopedia, and Corvette: America's Star-Spangled Sports Car, The Complete History.  None of them mention this variant.

Do you think it could be the looks?

A rare 1953 Corvette will be sold tomorrow at an auction in Lapeer, Michigan.  The "no reserve" auction is being handled by RM Auctions on the grounds of the home of John McMullen, longtime successful Pontiac dealer.

McMullen is drastically trimming his world class collection of some 140 cars to less than a dozen of the world's best automobiles.  The Corvette joins two early Thunderbirds, a 1931 Duesenberg Model J, a 1934 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria (shown), and many others.

The 9AM auction is open to the public in exchange for the purchase price of the $80 catalogue (which admits two).

One of only 399 being produced, a Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Championship Corvette Z06 is expected to reach Al Yousuf Motors showroom in the United Arab Emirates in June.

Having written about the Ron Fellows Edition Corvette previously at Corvette Blog several times, the news is that one of these fabulous Z06's is now bound for the Middle East. 

Although the Dubai City Guide claimed that Dubai City is now the only city outside of North America to get its hands on the very limited signature series Ron Fellows Corvette Z06, the original announcement from GM was that a total of sixty-six were to be exported (not counting Canada).  Perhaps the distinction is that, while not exclusive, they are first.

Our parent dealership has just taken delivery of our Arctic White Ron Fellows Corvette Z06. And what a beautiful car this autographed #190 is (out of 399 total being built)!

It arrived in the place of honor behind the cab on the car carrier, safest there from bugs and flying debris. The vehicle had the typical clear stretchwrap on it, and it came with a trunk full of decals, the front splitter, the wheel hubs, etc.

Careful attention was given to prepare it for showroom display behind the stanchions, not too far away from our gorgeous Black and Victory Red Z06’s.

Of course, every Ron Fellows Z06 comes with metric gauging, so some feel that kilometers per hour and miles per liter are there to honor the Canadian roots of racing driver Ron Fellows. I haven’t checked, but the navigational radio probably calls out all the Tim Hortons restaurants across North America, eh?

This beautiful Can Am White 1969 Corvette Convertible with Saddle Interior has a 427/560hp L-88 and 4-speed.

This Shark was sold new in Kansas City and titled in a the name of a construction company.  Parts were gathered for about three years prior to the restoration.  A prize winner and a really smooth handler, the car brought only disappointment to its owner at the end of February for not selling.  Top auction offer was barely more than $200,000.

As the photograph suggests, we might all be a little upset if we were selling our 1960 Corvette Convertible, too!  This little fuelie comes from a three year frame off restoration.

Being auctioned with an Orange County Chopper with matching Corvette paint scheme as a set, the big auction day comes this weekend.
