    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!

    2022 30th Annual VetteFest - Gallery | CorvetteStoreOnline.com

    2022 30th Annual VetteFest - Gallery | CorvetteStoreOnline.com

    (Queensbury, NY) - It was a big weekend for the Northeastern Corvette community as the annual Adirondack VetteFest 2022 was held in Queensbury, New York September 9-11 with hundreds of Corvettes and their enthusiastic owners represented.  

    The VetteFest Corvette Car Show is an annual Adirondack tradition held by the Adirondack Corvette Club, with this years' 30th Anniversary Edition hosted at the Queensbury Hotel.  Entrants were treated to banquets, live music and entertainment, events, awards and and beautiful Corvettes from all across the Northeast.  The weekend's events kicked off on Friday evening at the Queensbury Hotel with an entrant Registration & Reception event complete with hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail hour.  Entrants were encouraged to spend the remainder of the evening exploring the surrounding area, and/or watch a Hot Rod Cruise in the nearby village of Lake George.   

    The action really kicked into high gear on Saturday and was highlighted by a group road trip of 54 Corvettes that traveled from Glens Falls, New York to the Sacandaga Reservoir.  The tour of 54 made stops at the renowned Lanzi's on the Lake and infamous Jack Gillette Corvette collection in Saratoga Springs, NY where they toured his astounding collection of over 60 Corvettes!  After the trek back to Queensbury all participants were invited to a VetteFest Banquet that featured live music and dancing until nearly midnight!  

    The weekend culminated with Sunday's all Corvette "Shine and Show" Car Show which included over 100 paid entrants from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Canada in addition to members of the Adirondack Corvette Club.  The day was filled with giveaways, raffles, award presentations, food and live music all highlighted by well over 150 Corvettes in total lining Maple Street just a stone's throw away from the Queensbury Hotel. 

    According to Adirondack Corvette Club member Dave Price, the weekend was an incredible success.  While all Corvette years and generations were well represented, Dave tells us that C1, C2 and C3 Corvette pride was on display in full force with the majority of the weekend's entrants coming from these earlier Corvette Generations.  In total, Dave estimates over 400 people came to celebrate America's Sports Car - a number we all hope to see continue grow over the coming years.  If you want to be a part of all the Adirondack Corvette action next year, we recommend keeping your eye on the Official Adirondack Corvettes website for more information.   

    While we hate that we couldn't be at VetteFest 2022, we hope to make an appearance at this tremendous show in 2023.  CorvetteStoreOnline.com is thrilled and honored to have had the opportunity to partner and showcase the Adirondack Corvette Club's 30th annual VetteFest and looks forward to seeing all the great Corvettes and their owners in 2023!

    Chevrolet Limits Warranties, Offering $5000 Reward

    Chevrolet Limits Warranties, Offering $5000 Reward

    With 2023 Z06 Corvettes continuing to make their way to the streets, Chevrolet & GM are cracking down on those who are only in it to resell their new high demand vehicles.  In an effort to deter C8 owners from flipping the new Z06 Chevrolet is offering a $5000 incentive to all who retain ownership of the vehicle for more than one year in addition to a 12 month warranty transferability restriction and indefinite ban from preordering of future GM vehicles. 

    For a limited time, My Chevrolet Rewards members can earn an additional 500,000 points — a $5,000 value — when they retain ownership of their vehicle for 12 months after purchase. Points can be redeemed on GM Financial Payments, Accessories, and more.

    These moves certainly are drastic, and are designed to be exactly that.  Chevrolet's primary concern is having vehicles resold at inflated prices by unauthorized individuals, a practice that often results in a purchasing experience that does not meet GM's quality standards.  While there will always be those who slip through the deterrent's cracks, Chevrolet & GM are confident this move will be effective in policing issues that have plagued previous model releases, ensuring the best experience for their customers. 

    It's safe to say Chevrolet isn't messing around.  When dealing with a lifestyle brand such as Corvette, it's important that the long time, loyal customers are taken care of and given the best ownership experience possible, not to mention lowered prices.  It's clear Chevrolet wants to treat their customers right.

    We want to know what you think!  Does the incentive program excite you?  Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

    EXCLUSIVE CORVETTE NFT BY XSULLO AND MATCHING 2023 Z06 HEAD TO AUCTION

    EXCLUSIVE CORVETTE NFT BY XSULLO AND MATCHING 2023 Z06 HEAD TO AUCTION

    “Own the Color” auction, benefitting DonorsChoose, took place June 20-24 exclusively via SuperRare

    DETROIT – The first mid-engine Corvette Z06 continues its promise of putting the world on notice with Chevrolet’s first entry into the Web3 space: a one-of-one 2023 Corvette Z06-inspired NFT artwork created by the artist xsullo. The “Own the Color” auction paired the NFT with a custom-painted, real-life 2023 Corvette Z06 color-matched to the artwork. At the conclusion of the auction offered exclusively via SuperRare, the pioneering marketplace for unique curated NFT artworks, the winning bidder will be able to say they “Own the Color” — Minted Green, a reference to minting NFTs. The auction was live to eligible bidders worldwide June 20-24 and bid were only accepted in the digital currency, Ethereum.

    All proceeds from the auction benefited DonorsChoose. The organization’s mission is to make it easy for anyone to help a teacher in need and move us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education. Full terms and conditions of the auction, including limitations, eligibility and how to win are available at Chevrolet.com/CorvetteZ06NFTterms.

    “Corvette is a halo at Chevrolet. It’s the pinnacle of performance and staying cutting-edge means getting into new territories as a bit of a pioneer,” said Steve Majoros, vice president, Chevrolet Marketing. “This is our company’s first NFT. We see ‘Own the Color’ as an important stepping stone for Chevrolet into future digital initiatives for our customers.”

    “Own the Color” means Chevrolet will not apply Minted Green to another production 2023 Corvette Z06. In addition to a digital certificate of ownership and authenticity for the art piece, the physical Corvette Z06, equipped with the Z07 performance package, carbon fiber wheels and a commemorative plaque, will carry the option code RFN. The signification will forever associate the car with this auction and it’s one-of-one status. Further, the VIN for this Corvette Z06 is inspired by binary code, the language of computers, as a further connection between the car and Web3.

    The vibrant work from xsullo continues to make waves across the crypto art and NFT communities as the “Own the Color” auction approaches, and numerous pieces from xsullo have sold on SuperRare.

    “I’ve been wanting to combine my digital art with the physical world, so it's been a great opportunity to work with Chevrolet to bridge these two worlds,” said xsullo. “The Corvette Z06 is an ambitious car that I totally vibe with. I’m drawn to how technology can make us feel, and I can tell the designers of Corvette Z06 draw from similar inspiration.”

    DonorsChoose and Chevrolet have a history of collaborating on projects that further General Motors’ commitment to STEM education for all. This auction taps the ability for DonorsChoose to collect cryptocurrency donations, highlighting the many ways people can help teachers make an impact on their students. In 2022, two prior auctions involving Corvette Z06 raised $4.6 million in charitable contributions for other nonprofits.

    "GM is empowering STEM teachers through one of the most innovative ways our educators have received funding for their DonorsChoose projects," said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose. "This partnership shows just how possible it is for the digital and traditional sectors to engage in a way that benefits students' education in public schools across the country."

    As a way to bring the digital world into real life, the “Own the Color” artwork will be available for viewing at The Crypt Gallery during NFT NYC, one of the biggest NFT events of the year. The Crypt Gallery, the first NFT gallery in the hospitality industry, is launching its second location at Dream Downtown hotel in New York City.

    Chevrolet and SuperRare cohosted a Twitter Spaces on June 20, featuring The Crypt Gallery, xsullo and others to discuss this unique offering.
