The C8 Chevrolet Corvette was heralded as a bargain supercar when it launched in 2020. The base LT1 model, with no options, listed for $59,995. It's hard to imagine such a Corvette actually existed. Yet there is at least one car out there, as shown on Rockcityfilms3's YouTube channel.
According to the owner, he took delivery of his Chevrolet Corvette on July 2, 2020. The car is an early production model base LT1 in Torch Red with zero options. In a world where a brand-new Corvette Z06 lists for almost $200,000 after options, dealer-installed accessories, and market price adjustments, it's refreshing to see a bone stock base model that sold new for $60,000. That same money today will buy a lightly optioned Ford Mustang Mach 1 or cover 90 percent of the list price of a base Porsche Boxster.
