    Corvette Targa Tops | CorvetteStoreOnline.com

    If you are looking for a replacement Targa Top for your Corvette, we've got the replacement you've been looking for!  We offer fully assembled bolt-on Targa Tops for generations C4-C8, ready to be installed right out of the box helping you seamlessly replace the OEM factory original. 

    Corvette Targa Tops are a removable roof panel over the front seats, which opens the vehicle to the outside air and surrounding environment while leaving most of the vehicle's roof structure and rear window glass in place. It is a unique alternative that delivers the open-air experience without compromising the performance or driving experience. 

     The Targa Roof Panel can be easily attached or removed in seconds for added versatility, comfort and performance adjustments. These high demand Targa Tops come in Transparent or Paintable Fiberglass so you can choose which option works best for your driving style.  If you're a C7 or C8 owner, you might want to give the real Carbon Fiber top some consideration if you're looking to add a little style to your 'Vette.

    For many drivers, their vehicle came with the default solid painted Fiberglass roof panel.  These solid roofs help to reduce interior temperatures on hot days in addition to added protection from harmful UV rays from both you and Corvette's your interior and upholstery.  Needless to say this can be very comfortable for drivers who have sensitive skin or who suffer from headaches when exposed to sunlight.

    If you're not terribly concerned about a small transmittance of UV Rays or higher heat, the Transparent Top is a great choice.  Transparent - tinted tops offer a more spacious view of the world around you - not to mention your cabin will feel like its doubled in space!  While you might be sacrificing some of the comforts a fiberglass top can provide, you'll enjoy a similar driving experience to that of a convertible Corvette, top down, without actually having to own one!

    Regardless of what Targa Top suits your needs, everyone can agree they need a place to store it!  Fear not - we've got you covered.  Keep your top safe when not in use by storing it with the new polyurethane storage stands and wall mounted roof racks.  

     

    Targa Tops typically take less than 24 hours to ship and are always available!  If you're still on the fence, please don't hesitate to send us an email or give us a call, we'll be more than happy to help you find the top you need!

    Happy Birthday to a Legend | Corvette Store Online

    Happy Birthday to a Legend | Corvette Store Online

    If you're a Corvette owner or enthusiast you know the Corvette isn't just any other car, and it's likely you also know that June 30th isn't just any other day.  June 30th, or as it's better know in the community "National Corvette Day," is the day we come together to celebrate the birth of a beloved American Classic.  In only 69 short years the Corvette has come from the humblest of beginnings and transformed itself into a true piece of Americana history.  

    You can trace the Corvette's origins back to the dream of Chevrolet executive Harley Earl who created the notion that the company needed a sports car.  Earl was able to convince GM to move forward with the project after pitching several of his concept sketches to Chevrolet General Manager, Ed Cole.  Chevrolet executives knew they wanted the new vehicle's name to begin with a C, but  ultimately couldn't unanimously move past that point. 

    After analyzing and reviewing more than 300 potential names it was a gentleman by the name of Myron Scott, who was a Public Relations Assistant Director for Chevrolet at the time, that would serve as the catalyst for reaction when he suggested the name "Corvette."  Myron's naming origin was simply, but appropriately, borrowed from the small, but agile warships known as Corvettes.  As fate would have it GM executives loved the name and it stuck immediately. Shortly thereafter Chevrolet debuted the Corvette concept sports car to the public at the 1953 GM Motorama event at New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel and the rest, as they say, is history.

    It's hard to imagine that individuals such as Harley Earl, Ed Cole, Myron Scott or the legendary Zora Arkous-Duntov could've had any idea of the impact they'd have on the world when the Corvette was conceived and molded in their image.  What started out as one man's dream quickly turned into a cultural icon that would not only change the automotive industry but our world as we know it. 

    Here we are 69 years later and the Corvette continues to be a unanimously relevant figure in both today's culture and society.  Collector car shows draw hundreds if not thousands of Corvettes and their passionate diverse owners at a given time, Car Clubs continue to grow in numbers, Corvettes continue to be passed down to younger generations and the lifestyle continues to thrive with no signs of slowing. 

    Trends last only but a few years before dying off the moment something better moves in to take their places. Few trends transcend into something that leaves a permanent imprint on humanity for seven decades.  To achieve this status, it really takes something special to create more than a trend or fad, and to put it simply the Corvette has had that something in all 8 of its Generations.  Let the stats speak for themselves.  According to GM Authority, Corvette sales were up 53% in 2021 with 33,041 units sold.  Compare that to the just 300 Corvettes that were made and sold in 1953 and you'll only start to realize the overwhelming growth in the Corvette's popularity and the shear magnitude of significance its had for the countless people it carries with it.

    Corvette's 69th Birthday is a special one, as owner's have the chance to celebrate it's historic 70th a year early with 2023 Corvette Stingrays starting to roll into show room floors by the end of summer!  2023 C8 models will eloquently honor what has come before with commemorative 70th Anniversary interior plaques and exterior badging/branding.  For those truly looking to celebrate the occasion the special 70th Anniversary Package for the 2023 C8 takes things a step further with special coats, trims, and accents.

    The Corvette has come an unimaginably long way since it's humble beginning in the production lines of Flint, Michigan.  What started out as a 150 horsepower Convertible with a sticker price of $3,490 has transformed into a 495 horsepower screaming beast that starts out a just over a year's salary, maybe more... but oh is it worth it!  

    So with that, all that's left to be said is Happy 69th Birthday Corvette, and thank you for what you've provided us for nearly 7 decades!!  No matter which generation, style or color you may personally prefer it's safe to say we can all agree that fewer things in this world can bring as many people together, or as much joy, as this this all American badass car.

    Fisher is a natural for the role, serving as a former team owner, driver, and pace car driver for the IndyCar Series but is perhaps better known for her setting the female Indy 500 qualifying lap record set in 2002 at a blistering pace of 229.439mph.  

    Fisher will turn eyes when she brings the highly anticipated 2023 70th Anniversary Corvette across Indy's famous yard of bricks this Memorial Day weekend.  The special edition Corvette will be available for purchase later this summer.  Per Indianapolis Motor Speedway, "this year’s Pace Car is equipped with the available Z07 Performance Package, featuring a carbon fiber rear wing, aerodynamic ground effects, carbon ceramic brakes and more, for maximum track capability.

    With a nod to Corvette’s 70-year history, the Pace Car is a model year 2023 70th Anniversary Edition Z06, finished in a special White Pearl Tri-Coat Metallic paint."  This year's pace car will also feature all the 70th Anniversary amenities that will be available to the general public this summer.  To learn more about the package, you can read about it here: 2023 Corvette 70th Anniversary Package Revealed by GM (corvettestoreonline.com)

    “The Chevrolet Team is proud to pace the Indianapolis 500 for the 33rd time, while celebrating 70 years of Corvette,” said Steve Majoros, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “It’s only fitting the Indianapolis 500 will be the first race the 2023 Corvette Z06 paces, a truly special moment for Corvette and INDYCAR fans around the world. I’m sure Sarah will enjoy driving the 2023 Corvette Z06 70th Anniversary Edition, which is an incredible car with the performance to match its great looks.” (IMS) 

    Be sure to watch Sarah lead the Indy 500 field to the green flag in this beautiful 2023 Corvette on Sunday, May 27th at 11:00am EST on NBC!
