Exciting news from General Motors! They’ve just revealed a captivating Corvette concept at their brand-new advanced design studio in Royal Leamington Spa, England. This concept, while not destined for production, offers a glimpse into the future of Corvette design, showcasing GM’s “blank-page” approach.
Key highlights include sleek, aerodynamic lines, a striking “Apex Vision” spine (a modern take on the ’63 Sting Ray’s split window), and a lightweight, 3D-printed structure. This design exploration hints at potential EV integration and a strong race-inspired aesthetic. The UK studio, staffed with top design talent, will play a crucial role in shaping future Corvette and Cadillac EV models for the European market. GM has also announced that there will be more Corvette concepts coming in 2025. Stay tuned for further updates!
CORVETTE MIKE CELEBRATES 43 YEARS OF BUSINESS WITH
THREE RECORD-BREAKING CLASSIC CORVETTE SALES
Hot Off The Wire
Corvette Mike is celebrating 43 years serving classic, luxury and sports car enthusiasts with three record-breaking Duntov-awarded Corvette sales in the first quarter of 2025. The first remarkable sale was a 1967 Marina Blue Corvette L89 Coupe (one of 16), strategically sold for a stunning $1.705 million at a January auction event. The second record-breaker was a 1963 Tuxedo Black-Split Window, single-owner Corvette Coupe which sold for $365,000. The third was a 1959 Black on Black fuel-injected Convertible, which sold for $176,000, bringing sales on just these three cars to $2.246 million.
“I am thrilled with these record-breaking sales, all strategically marketed to achieve stellar results,” says Mike Vietro, Corvette Mike founder and leading automotive authority for 43 years. “For decades, I’ve delivered ROI that exceeds expectations, with some investments increasing tenfold.”
The future looks bright for classic car collectors. The U.S. classic car market size was estimated at $37.52 billion in 2024 and is expected to more than double to $86.58 billion by 2034.
Corvette Mike will proudly sponsor the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance April 25-27, 2025, the 2025 NCRS National Convention in Las Vegas on September 7-11, 2025, and the Wynn Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance October 31- November 2, 2025.

Russell’s 1960
Hi. I’m Russ Beyer from Scottsdale Arizona and I own a 1960 Corvette. It was purchased partially restored from an elderly gentleman who was retiring to Florida. With the help of our local NCRS members, we were able to achieve a Duntov, Bloomington Gold, and Triple Diamond awards. The biggest thrill was to be able to drive the Corvette on the Indianapolis 500 track. It was the crowning glory for all the hard work my friends and I put into this special car. She is driven regularly getting thumbs up wherever we go.

Highly Sought-After, 1,971 Mile ZO6!
