Rick bought his 1969 Stingray in 1973 and never let it go. Fifty-three years later it wears fresh Fathom Green paint, factory side exhaust, and its original 350 block — bored and stroked to 383 and now fuel injected.

Torch Red has been offered on Corvettes since 1989 and across the C7 generation alone, 29,758 buyers chose it. It's easy to see why. Click to read the full story.
Gary Tolman found his 2004 Le Mans Blue C5 Commemorative Edition at the Detroit Woodward Dream Cruise — one of the world's largest automotive events, right in his backyard. The car was built to celebrate Corvette's back-to-back Le Mans class victories, only 4,874 non-Z06 Commemorative Editions were ever produced, and Le Mans Blue was the only way to get this color in 2004.
