The Overview
The 2019 model year was the C7’s longest and its last. Bowling Green started it on January 29, 2018, the day after the short 2018 run ended, and built 34,822 cars before the final one, a black Z06 coupe, came off the line on November 15, 2019: 11,499 Stingray coupes and 2,192 convertibles (2,052 with Z51), 9,496 Grand Sport coupes and 1,745 convertibles, 5,965 Z06 coupes and 972 convertibles, and 2,441 ZR1 coupes and 512 ZR1 convertibles.
The ZR1 was the reason to remember it: revealed in Dubai on November 12, 2017 and in Los Angeles as a convertible sixteen days later, it carried the LT5, a 6.2-liter small-block with a 2.65-liter Eaton supercharger (52 percent larger than the Z06’s), port injection alongside direct injection for the first time at GM, and 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft, the most of any production Corvette or Chevrolet, through the seven-speed manual or, for the first time in a ZR1, the eight-speed automatic.
A carbon-fiber “halo” hood let the supercharger through, four more radiators made thirteen heat exchangers, a front underwing and a standard low wing gave it 212 mph, and the $2,995 ZTK Track Performance Package (2,077 cars) added the two-way-adjustable high wing, a splitter with carbon end caps, Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and stiffer Magnetic Ride tuning for about 950 pounds of downforce, 2.85 seconds to 60 and a 2:37.25 production-car record at Virginia International Raceway. Prices were $119,995 and $123,995 including destination, $10,000 more for the 3ZR group (2,761 cars) and $6,995 for the Sebring Orange Design Package (758).
The rest of the range carried over at the same base prices with the destination charge up $100 to $1,095 ($56,590 Stingray, $66,590 Grand Sport, $80,590 Z06), two new colors, Shadow Gray (2,519) and Elkhart Lake Blue (2,166), and Sebring Orange on 2,980 cars, 841 of them ZR1s.
Two small editions marked the year: the Drivers Series Grand Sports, revealed at the Rolex 24 in January 2019 with a color-and-graphics package for each Corvette Racing driver (Tommy Milner in Elkhart Lake Blue, Oliver Gavin in Shadow Gray, Jan Magnussen in Arctic White, Antonio Garcia in Corvette Racing Yellow; 21, 35, 25 and 14 built), and the Hertz 100th Anniversary Z06, 100 Corvette Racing Yellow automatics with black stripes and yellow calipers for the rental company’s airport fleet.
A Long Beach Red Grand Sport paced the Indianapolis 500 on May 26, 2019 with Dale Earnhardt Jr. driving, the 16th Corvette pace car and the last with its engine in front. Arctic White led the colors (6,789), Black was second (6,164), and 78 percent of buyers took the automatic.
The C7.R’s sixth and last season brought podiums at Sebring, Long Beach and Mid-Ohio but no win, third in the GTLM points for Garcia and Magnussen, and a ninth and a retirement at Le Mans; the mid-engine C8.R was already testing. On July 18, 2019, in a hangar at Tustin, California, Chevrolet revealed the 2020 Stingray with its engine behind the seats, and the front-engine Corvette that had begun in Flint in June 1953 was finished.
The last C7, that black Z06, had been sold at Barrett-Jackson’s Northeast auction on June 28 for $2.7 million to benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation; the first ZR1 had brought $925,000 at Scottsdale in January 2018. Between them the six C7 model years had made 189,507 cars, the Grand Sport its best seller after the Stingray, and the ZR1, at 2,953, the rarest and the one the market has decided to keep.
The 2019 Corvette Story
The 2019 model year was an exciting time in the history of the Chevy Corvette. It was the final year of the seventh-generation Corvette and all its higher-performance iterations: 34,822 cars, built from January 29, 2018 to November 15, 2019 in the longest model year the C7 had, 2,953 of them ZR1s. More than that though, it welcomed the arrival of the ultimate front-engine Corvette — the seventh-generation, 755-horsepower ZR1 — as well as the official unveiling of the 2020 Mid-Engine Corvette.
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 - the Return of the King
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 was developed with the intent of building a super-car iteration of the Corvette that pushed the limits of the brand to the highest power output, greatest track performance and most advanced technology package in its sixty-six-year production history.
The 2019 ZR1 was powered by Chevrolet's exclusive LT5 supercharged engine. This 6.2L V-8 engine advanced Corvette's supercharging legacy, which began with the 2009 sixth-generation ZR1 and continued with the 2015 seventh-generation Z06. Rated at an SAE-certified 755 horsepower (563 kW) and 715 lb -ft (969 Nm) of torque, the LT5 delivered the highest engine output ever for a Chevrolet production vehicle. This incredible performance output was achieved in large part because of the new, more-efficient inter-cooled supercharger system, which offered 52 percent more displacement than the Z06’s LT4 supercharger. Additionally, the 2019 Corvette ZR1 featured GM's first-ever dual-fuel-injection system, which employed both primary direct injection and supplemental port injection.
Of course, even the most-stout engine can be limited by the aerodynamics of the car into which it is placed. In this instance, the pairing was perfect.
The 2019 ZR1 elevated Corvette's track capability by offering consumers two wind tunnel-developed aerodynamic packages, both of which helped distinguish the car as the fastest production Corvette to date. The first package - which featured the standard rear Low Wing - offered consumers the option to achieve the fastest speeds on the track. The optional High Wing offered consumers an available two-way-adjustable high-wing that produced maximum downforce on the track - about 60 percent more downforce than the 2019 Z06 with the available Z07 Performance Package. Both variants of the 2019 Corvette ZR1 also featured a Chevrolet first - a downforce-enhancing front underwing.
“As the highest-performing Corvette ever, the ZR1’s design supports its capability in every way,” said Kirk Bennion, Exterior Design Manager. “The new wings, for example, help generate more downforce without adding drag, enhancing road holding and top speed.”
The adjustable High Wing was actually part of the new ZTK Performance Package, which also included a front splitter with carbon-fiber end caps, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Summer-Only tires and specific chassis and Magnetic Ride Control tuning for greater cornering grip.
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 also featured an all-new front fascia that was designed to channel air into the car for both the car's propulsion system and drivetrain cooling. Four new radiators were added to the car as well, bringing the heat-exchanger total count to thirteen. A special carbon-fiber halo hood was developed that featured an open center section which let the LT5’s supercharger and intercooler protrude through the hood. Additional features, including the aforementioned aero-packages with stanchion-mounted wings, helped keep the ZR1 glued to the track and enabled drivers to achieve faster lap times.
“I’ve never driven a Corvette like this before, and nobody else has either, because there’s never been one like this before,” said Mark Reuss, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “Its unprecedented performance puts all other global super-cars on notice that the ZR1 is back.”
The Rest of the Pack
While there's no question that the ZR1 was the center-piece of the 2019 Corvette model year, its arrival was still somewhat overshadowed by the certainty that GM was close to unveiling the eighth-generation, mid-engine Corvette ! In fact, the ZR1's introduction was the only appreciable change to the seventh-generation Corvette that year. The base models, the Grand Sports and the Z06 Corvettes all returned for the final model year as well, but without any significant changes to any of these lesser models. Chevrolet did introduce two new paint colors for 2019, Elkhart Lake Blue and Shadow Gray, raised the destination charge by $100 to $1,095, and offered two small editions: the Drivers Series Grand Sports designed with Corvette Racing’s four drivers (95 cars) and the Hertz 100th Anniversary Z06 (100 rental cars in Corvette Racing Yellow).
The Last Front-Engine Corvette Pace Car at Indy
For the 2019 running of the Indianapolis 500, Chevrolet announced that a Corvette Grand Sport Coupe would serve as the official pace car.
The announcement that the 2019 Corvette would be leading the field as official pace car of the famous race was well-received by enthusiasts the world over. It was especially momentous given recent announcements by Chevrolet that a mid-engine Corvette was imminent. While this would be the sixteenth time that a Corvette would serve as the official pace car for the Indianapolis 500, its inclusion in this race was special because of the real possibility that it would be the last of its kind — a front-engine Corvette — to do so. (It was not: the 2020 Stingray paced in 2020 and the mid-engine cars have paced since, but it was the last front-engine one.)
The 2019 Corvette Grand Sport Pace Car was finished in Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat. It received GM-designed Indy 500 decals and Blade Silver full-length stripes. It also featured the following options:
An LT1 6.2-liter V-8 DI aluminum engine with 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque; An 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission; A Dry-sump oil system; Performance suspension with Magnetic Ride Control; Brembo® carbon ceramic brakes; Grand Sport aluminum wheels: 19-inch front and 20-inch rear; Carbon Flash painted Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Package; Competition Sport Bucket Seats; Performance Data Recorder.
Driving it was NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. As the flag dropped on May 26, 2019, Earnhardt led the 33-car field to the green; Simon Pagenaud won.
“We continue to be grateful for our long-running partnership with Chevrolet,” Indianapolis Motor Speedway President J. Douglas Boles said. “It’s such a strong bond that has proven integral to the success of our events. The 2019 Corvette Grand Sport is a world-class machine that exudes speed, performance and excitement, a perfect fit to lead the 500 field. Personally, there is nothing quite like driving an Indianapolis 500 Chevrolet Corvette around Indiana in May, and I know our fans also will enjoy seeing the Corvette Stingray festival cars around town throughout the Month of May.”
A Year Earlier: Mark Reuss and the ZR1 Pace Car
A week after the 2019 ZR1 had paced the 2018 Indianapolis 500 with Victor Oladipo driving, on Sunday, June 3, 2018, while leading the field for the second race of the Detroit Grand Prix, the ZR1 pace car spun at the start of its first lap around the Raceway on Belle Isle, striking a wall with considerable force.
Mark Reuss, GM’s executive vice president of global product development, was driving at the time of the crash. Although the front-end of the car was significantly damaged after colliding with the barrier wall, neither Reuss, nor passenger and Indy Car Official, Mark Sandy, were injured in the crash.
Debris from the car was scattered across the track just after turn two, bringing the entire field of IndyCar series race cars to a stop. The field, which consisted of 24 cars-in-all, remained in place on the track until enough debris was cleared to allow them to pass safely. They then returned to the pits until the remaining debris was cleared and the backup pace car was put into service. The crash delayed the start of the race by approximately 30 minutes.
Racing: the C7.R’s last season
Corvette Racing ran the C7.R one more year while the mid-engine C8.R was built, and won no race: the No. 3 of Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen (Mike Rockenfeller in the long races) finished second at Long Beach and Mid-Ohio and third at Sebring, and ended third in the IMSA GTLM points; the No. 4 of Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner (Marcel Fässler) was third at Long Beach. At Le Mans, the team’s 20th consecutive appearance, the No. 64 retired after Fässler’s heavy crash in the Porsche Curves near the six-hour mark and the No. 63 ran in contention for twenty hours before a spin and a late repair dropped it to ninth. The C7.R’s last race was Petit Le Mans on October 12, 2019, where the No. 3 finished fourth; in six seasons the car had won 16 races, the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans, three drivers’ and team championships and two manufacturers’ titles.
The end of the C7
On July 18, 2019, at a hangar in Tustin, California, Chevrolet revealed the mid-engine 2020 Stingray, and the front-engine Corvette’s sixty-six years were over. The last C7 convertible orders closed on June 10 and the last coupe orders on the day of the reveal; the last 2019 ZR1s were built in June. The last C7 of all, a black 2019 Z06 coupe, had already been sold: Barrett-Jackson auctioned it at its Northeast sale on June 28, 2019 for $2.7 million, paid by collector Dan Snyder, with the proceeds to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, as the first 2019 ZR1 (VIN 001) had gone to Rick Hendrick at Scottsdale in January 2018 for $925,000. Bowling Green built it on November 15, 2019, at about 3:10 in the afternoon, behind an Arctic White Stingray coupe bought for the National Corvette Museum’s collection, and the 2020 Stingray followed down the same line.
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 features a unique two-piece, carbon fiber hood assembly,. The actual hood opens around a carbon fiber assembly which covers the intake manifold and superchargers on the LT5 engine.

Introducing the 2019 Corvette Drivers Series — special-edition Grand Sport models designed in collaboration with the Corvette Racing team.
The 2019 Corvette ZR1
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 is the first ZR1 edition to include an optional 8-speed automatic. A manual 2019 ZR1 is worth about $60,000 more than an automatic one: Classic.com’s benchmarks in October 2026 were $160,593 for an automatic coupe and $220,516 for a manual, against a $119,995 window sticker, because only about 900 of the 2,953 were built with the seven-speed — the first ZR1 ever offered with an automatic, and most buyers took it. And the 2019 model year, at 34,822 cars and 21 months, is the only C7 year in which Bowling Green built every one of the generation’s four models at once — the last 2019 ZR1s were finished in June, the convertibles stopped taking orders on June 10, and the coupes on July 18, the day the mid-engine car was shown.

2019 Corvette ZR1
Revealed in Dubai on November 12, 2017 and as a convertible in Los Angeles on November 28, the fourth ZR1 was the last word on the front-engine Corvette: the LT5, a 6.2-liter small-block with a 2.65-liter Eaton supercharger (52 percent larger than the Z06’s) and GM’s first port-plus-direct injection, making 755 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 715 lb-ft at 4,400 under a carbon-fiber halo hood cut around the intercooler, with four more radiators (thirteen heat exchangers), a new fascia, a front underwing, carbon-ceramic Brembos, Magnetic Ride and the Z06’s wide body on 19 x 10.5 and 20 x 12-inch wheels; 212 mph with the standard low wing, and with the $2,995 ZTK Track Performance Package the two-way-adjustable high wing, splitter end caps, Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and stiffer tuning for about 950 pounds of downforce, 2.85 seconds to 60, 10.6 in the quarter and a 2:37.25 production-car record at Virginia International Raceway in February 2018. It was the first ZR1 with an automatic (the eight-speed; about 2,050 cars) and, unlike the C4 and C6 ZR1s, offered as a convertible; $119,995 and $123,995 including destination, $10,000 for the 3ZR group (2,761), $6,995 for the Sebring Orange Design Package (758, with orange calipers, stripes, belts and stitching and bronze trim). VIN 001 brought $925,000 for charity at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale on January 23, 2018, the car paced the 2018 Indianapolis 500 with Victor Oladipo, and Mark Reuss crashed a pace car at Belle Isle a week later. Bowling Green built 2,441 coupes and 512 convertibles from January 2018 to June 2019, 2,077 with ZTK and 841 in Sebring Orange, on their own 800001 VIN series with a 9 for the engine. In 2026 manual ZTK coupes sold at auction for $200,000 to $340,000 against a $220,516 benchmark, automatics for $125,000 to $260,000 against $160,593.

2019 Corvette C7.R
Corvette Racing kept the C7.R for one more season while Pratt & Miller built the mid-engine C8.R, with the same lineups: Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen in the No. 3 with Mike Rockenfeller for the long races, Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner in the No. 4 with Marcel Fässler. It was the car’s first season without a win. The No. 3 was third at Sebring, second at Long Beach and Mid-Ohio and third in the GTLM drivers’ points, the No. 4 third at Long Beach; at Daytona they finished sixth and eighth in the rain-shortened Rolex 24. Le Mans, the team’s 20th consecutive appearance, was hard: the No. 64 retired after Fässler’s heavy crash in the Porsche Curves near the six-hour mark, and the No. 63 ran in contention for twenty hours before a spin and a late repair left it ninth. The last race was Petit Le Mans on October 12, 2019, where the No. 3 finished fourth. In six seasons from 2014 the C7.R won 16 races including the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 2016, 2017 and 2018 IMSA GTLM drivers’ and team championships and the 2016 and 2017 manufacturers’ titles; its Drivers Series Grand Sports and the Z06 C7.R Edition carry its drivers’ names on the road. The C8.R raced at Daytona in January 2020.

Specifications & Performance
Engine & Transmission
Four engines’ worth of range from three blocks. The Stingray’s LT1 made 455 hp (VIN 7; 460 with the NPP exhaust bundled into Z51), the Grand Sport’s 460 hp and 465 lb-ft with the exhaust and dry sump standard, the Z06’s supercharged LT4 (VIN 6) 650 hp and 650 lb-ft, and the ZR1’s LT5 (VIN 9) 755 hp at 6,300 rpm and 715 lb-ft at 4,400: the same 6.2-liter aluminum block and 10.0:1 compression as the LT4 with a 2.65-liter Eaton TVS supercharger (52 percent larger than the Z06’s 1.7) under a carbon-fiber halo hood, GM’s first dual injection with port injectors supplementing the direct injection, a dry sump, and thirteen heat exchangers including four new radiators behind a new front fascia.
All four took the Tremec TR6070 seven-speed with Active Rev Matching (MEP; MEL close-ratio on Z51 and Grand Sport; MEK on the Z06 and ZR1, 2.29 first) or the Hydra-Matic 8L90 eight-speed automatic ($1,725; 4.56 to 0.65), the first automatic ever fitted to a ZR1, on a 3.42:1 axle with the manual and 2.41:1 (2.73:1 Z51 and Grand Sport) with the automatic, with an electronic limited-slip differential on every car but the base Stingray. EPA ratings: Stingray 16/25 manual and 15/25 automatic, Z06 15/22 and 14/23, ZR1 13/19 automatic.
Chevrolet’s figures: 3.8 seconds and 12.0 at 119 for a Z51 Stingray, 3.6 and 11.8 at 118 for a Z07 Grand Sport automatic, 2.95 and 10.95 at 127 for a Z07 Z06 automatic, 2.85 seconds, 10.6 in the quarter and 212 mph for a ZR1 automatic, 1.2 g with ZTK; the ZR1’s 2:37.25 at Virginia International Raceway, announced on February 1, 2018, was a production-car record for the Grand Course West.
The ZR1 sat on the Z06’s aluminum frame and wide body with 19 x 10.5 and 20 x 12-inch wheels on P285/30ZR19 and P335/25ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZPs (Pilot Sport Cup 2 ZPs with ZTK), Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear monobloc calipers on 15.5 and 15.3-inch carbon-ceramic rotors as standard, Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Performance Traction Management (FEA, or FEB with ZTK’s stiffer tuning), a front underwing and the standard low wing for top speed or the ZTK high wing for about 950 pounds of downforce; 179.8 inches long, 77.4 wide, 48.6 high (48.7 convertible) on the 106.7-inch wheelbase, 3,584 pounds as a coupe and 3,642 as a convertible.
The Stingray kept its 19 x 8.5 and 20 x 10-inch wheels on 245/35 and 285/30 Michelins with 12.6 / 13.3-inch four-piston Brembos (13.6 slotted with Z51), FE1 to FE4 suspensions, 176.9 inches and 3,298 / 3,362 pounds; the Grand Sport and Z06 their 19 x 10 and 20 x 12 wheels on 285/30 and 335/25, six-piston 14.6 / 13.4-inch brakes, FE6 with Magnetic Ride standard, FE7 with Z07, 15.5 / 15.3 carbon-ceramics with Z07 or J57, 77.4 inches wide, 3,428 / 3,487 and 3,524 / 3,582 pounds. Nothing mechanical changed on the three carry-over models for 2019.

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN)
34,822 (11,499 Stingray coupes, 1,728 with Z51; 2,192 Stingray convertibles, 324 with Z51; 9,496 Grand Sport coupes; 1,745 Grand Sport convertibles; 5,965 Z06 coupes; 972 Z06 convertibles; 2,441 ZR1 coupes; 512 ZR1 convertibles), built January 29, 2018 – November 15, 2019, the last front-engine Corvettes; 95 Drivers Series Grand Sports; 100 Hertz Z06s Cars, Stingray and Grand Sport 1G1YA2D7?K5100001 TO about 124932 (one series); Z06 1G1YN2D6?K5600001 TO about 606937; ZR1 1G1Y42D9?K5800001 TO 802953 (year code K; 7 = LT1, 6 = LT4, 9 = LT5)
The site’s 2019 VIN post is a placeholder, so this section is built from GM’s scheme and documented cars. The year code moved to K, the eleventh character is 5 for Bowling Green, the sixth 2 or 3 for coupe or convertible, the seventh D, and the eighth 7 for the LT1 (Stingray and Grand Sport), 6 for the LT4 (Z06) and, new, 9 for the LT5 (ZR1). In the fifth position the Stingray kept A–M and the Z06 N–U, the Grand Sport its letters after them (V on a 1LT manual, Y on a 2LT automatic and 1 on a 3LT automatic have been seen on 2017–2018 cars; W, X and Z follow by the pattern), and the ZR1 took numerals: 1G1Y42D94K5800004, the fourth ZR1 built and the first with the seven-speed, reads 4, and 1G1Y53D95K5800208, a 3ZR convertible with the automatic, reads 5, so 4 and 5 are the ZR1’s manual and automatic codes on the documented cars (whether 1ZR cars use different characters is not known). Stingrays and Grand Sports share the 100001 series (24,932 cars, to about 124932), Z06s run from 600001 (6,937, to about 606937), and the ZR1 has its own series from 800001 to 802953, coupes and convertibles together, as the C6 ZR1 did; nineteen buyers chose their own sequence number under RPO PIN, and the CAC registry’s example VINs (K50002EX, K5700002) show the experimental and captured-test-fleet ZR1s on other series.
The VIN plate is on the left windshield pillar and repeated on the door certification label and the console service parts label, which carries the RPOs: 1ZR or 3ZR, LT5, B92, Q9G/Q9H/Q9J/Q9K, FEA, and with the track package ZTK, FEB and the high wing on a ZR1, ZLZ with G26, J6L and the 000 black-and-orange interior on a Sebring Orange Design Package car; PDT, PDO, PDJ or PDA on a Drivers Series Grand Sport, with its color (GS7, GJI, G8G or GC6), 3F9 red belts, hash marks (75A red, 90A gray) and stripes (DTP silver, DXP red, DTR Crystal Red, DVQ Jake); Z15 and a hash-mark code on a Heritage car; GC6, Q6U, J6E and a fleet order on a Hertz Z06; Z07, FE7 and J57 or J57 alone on a Grand Sport or Z06. Paint codes are G8G Arctic White, GBA Black, GKZ Torch Red, G26 Sebring Orange, GJI Shadow Gray, G1E Long Beach Red, GS7 Elkhart Lake Blue, GAN Blade Silver, G9F Ceramic Matrix Gray, G7Q Watkins Glen Gray, GC6 Corvette Racing Yellow and GTR Admiral Blue; interior codes 191–198 Jet Black, 141–146 Gray, 701–706 Adrenaline Red, 755 Spice Red, 343–346 Kalahari and 000 for the ZR1’s orange suede; tops 41T Black, 21T Kalahari, 37T Gray, 80T Spice Red and 00T Blue. Build dates run from January 29, 2018 to November 15, 2019; the ZR1s were built from January 2018 to June 2019, the first of them, VIN 800001, sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale on January 23, 2018 for $925,000.

Market & Buying Guide
For Sale & What They Bring
The 2019 market is really two markets. The ZR1 is a collector car already: Classic.com’s October 2026 benchmarks are $160,593 for an automatic coupe, $220,516 for a manual coupe, $176,346 for an automatic convertible and $227,507 for a manual convertible, all above the $119,995–$123,995 window stickers, and the spread tells the story — about 900 of the 2,953 have the seven-speed, and the market pays $50,000 to $60,000 for it. In the year to October 2026 manual ZTK coupes sold on Bring a Trailer for $201,000 to $276,000 (a 3,000-mile 3ZR ZTK for $340,000 in January), automatics mostly $132,000 to $187,000 with delivery-mileage cars to $260,000 at GAA and $198,000 at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach, and a 258-mile manual coupe for $280,500 and a 1,000-mile manual convertible for $203,500 at Mecum Fort Worth. The rest of the year trades as late C7s with no premium for being the last: 2019 Z06s against a $76,129 benchmark, with low-mileage manuals at $103,000 (a 4,000-mile 3LZ on Bring a Trailer) and $110,000 (a 4,000-mile 2LZ at Mecum Nashville) and dealers asking $63,950 to $132,900; Grand Sports and Stingrays at dealers from $38,000 to $90,000 with few at auction. A Drivers Series car or a Hertz Z06 (sold off from the fleet in 2020 at $57,000 to $64,000) carries a story more than a premium; the one 2019 sold for seven figures was the last one.

Auction figures are hammer prices; add the buyer’s premium when comparing with asking prices.
Verifying a ZR1: a 9 in the eighth VIN position and an 800001-series number, the halo hood with the supercharger cover through it, the front underwing, thirteen heat exchangers, carbon-ceramic rotors (887 ZR1s had blue calipers, 758 orange), LT5 on the engine cover and 1ZR or 3ZR on the service parts label; ZTK adds the stanchion-mounted high wing, the splitter end caps, Cup 2 tires and FEB on the label, and a low-wing car with a high wing added is not a ZTK car (the stiffer suspension and the label are the test). A Sebring Orange Design Package car shows ZLZ, J6L, the orange stripes and belts and the bronze trim — Sebring Orange paint alone (841 ZR1s) is not the package (758). The first manual, 800004, and the Hendrick car, 800001, are known, and the last ZR1 built has been offered at auction. A Drivers Series Grand Sport shows PDT, PDO, PDJ or PDA on the label with its color, stripes, hash marks and red belts, and nothing else sets it apart, so the label is the whole story; a Hertz Z06 is a Corvette Racing Yellow 2019 Z06 automatic with black stripes, black wheels, yellow calipers, Hertz badging and a centennial plaque, with a rental history in its past. The last C7 (the $2.7 million Z06) and the second-to-last (the museum’s white Stingray) are documented; no other 2019 carries a build-order premium.
Inspection: on the ZR1, the LT5’s supercharger belt and intercooler pump, the halo hood seals, heat soak on tracked cars (the thirteen exchangers help, but an automatic ZTK that has lived at track days deserves a fluid history), Cup 2 tires that age out, carbon-ceramic rotors measured not looked at, the wing stanchions and underwing for curb damage, the clutch on manuals, and the recall history by VIN (the 2019 ZR1 had an airbag-module recall in 2018); on the rest, the 8L90 (shudder and harsh low-speed shifts, improved by fluid and software), dry-sump and cooler plumbing on tracked Grand Sports and Z06s, Magnetic Ride dampers, the 20 x 12 rear wheels on potholed cars, the carbon roof’s seals and the convertible top, the PDR and MyLink. A manual ZTK coupe in Sebring Orange with the design package is the 2019 to collect and will cost double its sticker; a 3ZR automatic coupe at $140,000 is the sensible ZR1; and a 2LT Grand Sport automatic at $55,000 is, as it was in 2017 and 2018, the best-value C7, now with a K in the VIN and the last of its kind.

FAQs
How many 2019 Corvettes were built?
Chevrolet built 34,822 2019 Corvettes at Bowling Green between January 29, 2018 and November 15, 2019, the C7’s longest model year and its last: 11,499 Stingray coupes (1,728 with Z51), 2,192 Stingray convertibles (324), 9,496 Grand Sport coupes, 1,745 Grand Sport convertibles, 5,965 Z06 coupes, 972 Z06 convertibles, 2,441 ZR1 coupes and 512 ZR1 convertibles. 2,077 ZR1s had the ZTK package and 758 the Sebring Orange Design Package; 95 Grand Sports were Drivers Series cars and 100 Z06s went to Hertz; 27,017 cars had the eight-speed and 30,760 stayed in the United States. GM’s sheet reconciles in every table but the export one, which is fifteen short.
How much did the 2019 Corvette cost when new?
Base prices were unchanged from 2018 but the destination charge rose $100 to $1,095: $56,590 for the Stingray coupe and $60,590 for the convertible ($61,590 and $65,590 with the $5,000 Z51 package), $66,590 and $70,590 for the Grand Sport, $80,590 and $84,590 for the Z06, and $119,995 and $123,995 for the ZR1 coupe and convertible, all delivered. On the ZR1 the 3ZR group was $10,000, the ZTK Track Performance Package $2,995 and the Sebring Orange Design Package $6,995; Z07 was $7,995, the Heritage Package $795, the eight-speed $1,725, 3LT $9,745 and 3LZ $8,945.
What was the 2019 Corvette ZR1?
The fastest and most powerful front-engine Corvette: a 6.2-liter LT5 V-8 with a 2.65-liter supercharger and both port and direct injection, 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft, through a seven-speed manual or, for the first time in a ZR1, an eight-speed automatic, under a carbon-fiber halo hood on the Z06’s wide body with thirteen heat exchangers, a front underwing, carbon-ceramic brakes and a standard low wing for 212 mph. The $2,995 ZTK Track Performance Package added the adjustable high wing, Cup 2 tires and stiffer Magnetic Ride tuning for about 950 pounds of downforce, 2.85 seconds to 60 and a 2:37.25 at Virginia International Raceway. Revealed in Dubai on November 12, 2017 at $119,995 (convertible $123,995), it paced the 2018 Indianapolis 500 and was built from January 2018 to June 2019: 2,441 coupes and 512 convertibles, 2,077 with ZTK, 2,761 as 3ZR, about 900 with the manual. In 2026 manual ZTK coupes sold at auction for $200,000 to $340,000 and automatics for $125,000 to $260,000.
What were the 2019 Corvette Drivers Series and the Hertz Z06?
The Drivers Series, revealed at the Rolex 24 in January 2019, was four color-and-graphics packages for the Grand Sport designed with Corvette Racing’s drivers: the Tommy Milner Edition in Elkhart Lake Blue with silver stripes (21 built), the Oliver Gavin Edition in Shadow Gray with a Torch Red center stripe (35), the Jan Magnussen Edition in Arctic White with Crystal Red stripes (25) and the Antonio Garcia Edition in Corvette Racing Yellow with a Jake stinger (14), all with red hash marks and red seat belts, on 1LT, 2LT or 3LT cars with no mechanical changes — 95 in all. The Hertz 100th Anniversary Edition was 100 Corvette Racing Yellow 2019 Z06 coupes with black stripes, black wheels, yellow calipers, Competition Sport seats and a centennial plaque, rented at fourteen airports from August 2018 and sold off in 2020.
Did the 2019 Corvette pace the Indianapolis 500?
Yes: a Long Beach Red 2019 Corvette Grand Sport coupe with Blade Silver stripes, the eight-speed, carbon-ceramic brakes, Magnetic Ride, the carbon ground effects, Competition Sport seats and the PDR paced the 103rd Indianapolis 500 on May 26, 2019, driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr., the 16th Corvette pace car and the 30th Chevrolet; Simon Pagenaud won, and 33 Stingray festival cars matched it. It was the last front-engine Corvette to pace the race. Chevrolet built no replica.
When did the C7 Corvette end, and what was the last one?
Chevrolet revealed the mid-engine 2020 Stingray on July 18, 2019 and took the last C7 coupe orders that day (convertible orders had closed on June 10); the last 2019 ZR1s were built in June. The final C7, a black 2019 Z06 coupe, was auctioned by Barrett-Jackson at its Northeast sale on June 28, 2019 for $2.7 million, paid by collector Dan Snyder with the proceeds to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and came off the Bowling Green line on November 15, 2019 at about 3:10 pm behind an Arctic White Stingray coupe bought for the National Corvette Museum.
