Stripes Galore! 2014 Corvette Stingray Order Guide Updates

Stripes Galore! 2014 Corvette Stingray Order Guide Updates

A few updates were added to the 2014 Corvette Stingray’s Order Guide this week. Most notably, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and its equipment group options (1LT, 2LT and 3LT) are now detailed in the latest update to the order guide. Also included in the update are the addition of stripes in various colors.

As we previously have seen, Chevrolet will be offering two types of exterior stripes for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, the full length dual racing stripe and the Stinger style hood stripe.

On Monday, Chevy updated the 2014 Corvette Stingray Order Guide to show that the full dual length stripes will be available in multiple colors. (RPO listed in parentheses) :

  • (DTP) Blade Silver
  • (DTH) Carbon Flash (Metallic Black)
  • (DTR) Crystal Red
  • (DTN) Cyber Gray
  • (DTQ) Inferno Orange

The Stinger Stripe also gained a new color. In addition to Carbon Flash (DTW), Cyber Gray (DTZ) has now been added.

The footnote regarding the stripes is that you can’t order the same color of stripe as your exterior color. I.E., if you order a Cyber Gray Stingray, DTZ or DTN Cyber Gray stripe options are not available.

The previous version of the Order Guide we had dated back to its initial release in April and was missing many of the customization options. Not only does the new version have the 2014 Convertible information, but the Limited Production Options that we detailed in July are also listed.

Three Rare Corvette Concepts to be Shown at the LeMay Museum

Three Rare Corvette Concepts to be Shown at the LeMay Museum

Three rare Corvette concepts you may have just read about and never seen in person will be making a public appearance this week.

The LeMay Museum in Tacoma, Wash., has been fortunate enough to lure the three concept cars out of the GM Heritage Collection in Michigan and will be showing the cars on Aug. 9, 10, and 11.

The special trio includes the 1959 Stingray Racer, also known as the XP-87 and a preview of the C2 Sting Ray. GM vice president Bill Mitchell asked Pete Brock to design the car in secret. The Stingray wasn’t your typical concept car, though. First, it was a success on the SCCA circuit with Dr. Dick Thompson driving it to the national championship in the C-Modified division in 1960, then after GM retired it from racing, Mitchell drove the car to work for awhile.

Also featured will be the 1961 Mako Shark, another preview of the C2. Unlike the XP-87, the Mako Shark (known as the XP-755) was more of a show car with its wild shark-inspired paint, full windshield, and unusual sidepipes.

The third car coming to Tacoma is the 1969 Manta Ray, which started life as the 1965 Mako Shark II and served as the inspiration for the third generation from 1968-82. It’s currently powered by a 427 ZL-1 and has many unusual features, including a power adjustable rear wing, a power retractable rear bumper, a digital speedometer, and stereo speakers mounted in the headrests. In 1969, the Mako II underwent surgery to become the Manta Ray, with a front spoiler, a grille surround, revised side exhaust, flying buttress rear window, and new badging added.

After their appearance at LeMay, the three Corvettes will head to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Aug. 18 before heading back to their usual home in a Detroit industrial park.

In case you can’t make it to Washington this week, the LeMay is hosting a special “60 Years of Vette” exhibition for the rest of the year.
