The 2023 Corvette Z06 and Stingray are available to order with a 70th Anniversary Edition package, which enhances the appearance of the mid-engine sports car with a variety of cosmetic enhancements, including vinyl stripes, 70the Anniversary edition badging and painted brake calipers. GM released digital renderings of the C8 Corvette Z06 equipped with the cosmetic package earlier this year, however now GM Authority spy photographers have captured the first real-world images of a 70th Anniversary Z06, giving us a much better idea of what it will look like once customer deliveries begin later this year.
This particular 2023 Corvette Z06 70the Anniversary is finished in the White Pearl Metallic Tri-coat exterior color and appears to feature Carbon Flash painted nacelles. It does not feature the Carbon Flash Metallic center stripe, which is an optional extra on the White Pearl Metallic-finished models. Other exterior equipment that sets the 70the Anniversary Edition apart from regular Z06 models includes 70th Anniversary Edition exterior badging, Edge Red painted brake calipers, an Edge Red engine cover and a unique rear bumper protector/trunk cover.
Inside, all 2023 Corvette Z06 70the Anniversary models will feature two-tone Ceramic leather GT2 or Competition Sport seats, contrasting red stitching and seatbelts, sueded microfiber seat inserts and suede steering wheel. A custom luggage set with 70th Anniversary Edition logos, as well as 70th Anniversary Edition logos on the seat headrests, steering wheel and sill plates, completes the list of available extras.
The 70th Anniversary Edition package for the 2023 Corvette Z06 is currently unavailable to order due to a supplier constraint, as GM Authority reported previously. It’s unclear at this time when the 70th Anniversary Special Edition package will once again be available to order.
Orders for the 2023 Corvette 70th Anniversary Edition were delayed as a result of a wheel shortage. Due to this delay, production of C8 Corvette models equipped with the 70th Anniversary Edition Package did not get underway until mid-summer, while production of the “regular” 2023 Corvette Stingray began in May.

I had two GM trucks painted with this color but the problem is that the paint flakes off because the process isn’t it’s sufficiently sorted. It might work better on a Corvette that is parked inside all of the time, but my first truck had peeling above the windshield. It took about two years to occur. The truck I have now is a 2017 Yukon Denali in the same color and it’s peeled on both sides of the windshield. GM does not cover these issues FYI
Great engine horrible body design
@ MUK
Bro you outta your mind. Bet you can’t name one car with better looks and power under $150k. And please don’t say Porsche.
C6 zo6, zl1, evora, emira, gt350, giulia, c5z06, 718 cayman, f430, e39m5, c6zr1, 991.1 GTS, LC500, 308, 360, hellcat redeye, CTSV, every year viper, mx5, f type,
Do you want me to keep going? Also every car above is and can be a manual which make them far better except the Lc. I mean if the zo6 looked like the c8.R like the real one not that sticker package on the c8 it would be one of the hottest cars in the market instead it looks just looks unfinished
Wow, I’m excited. More pics of a C8-Z06 that GM can’t deliver, won’t allocate properly, and doesn’t care what THEIR dealers charge. Paleeesse – Enough with this #_&*.
George… Well said. I’m worn out from all the BS associated with this model and it’s launch. It’s become one of those principle things. I have little interest left. Having finally realized that the only real difference for me – and for a whole lot of money – would be a different exhaust sound, body style changes that I don’t like, and bragging rights, I’ll just stay with – and enjoy – my 2021 3LT Z51,
First real world pics?
They had one at the Dream Cruise last week.
Yep. They also had it, and other Z06’s, at the NCM Bash and most recently last week in Monterey (MMR) at speed week. Popping up everywhere but in my garage.
First anniversary Z06 I’ve seen without the Z07 package…looks so much better to me without the big (ugly) wing.

I agree with George, after getting screwed by a large gm dealer for getting my deposit for a Zo6 in there bank too early after they sent
my e mail all there banking information the night before waited 2 months to find out i was disqualified,went and bought a c8
from a local dealer getting more pissed with every day, thinking of selling my 2022 z51 being a loyal to GM for over 50 years
[ 1957chevy,68 gto,71 trans am,71 gto,92 z51 p/u, 2001 zo6 kerbeck,2004 escalade,2006 zo6,2022 z51] not right.
A notice came out yesterday that the 70th Edition is being delayed again because they cannot get the wheels again. I guess the people who want one will just have to look at pictures for now.
The few, the fortunate, the well connected. Getting one of these probably takes more than money.
Mine is beening built but I do not have an ETA Only took 2 years. As long as I get one, all you haters step up and go to the GT-40 site and see what it takes to secure one of those… Maybe I’ll get imine for Christmas!
Congratulations Dave, happy to see someone was able to get an order in. Keep us posted when you will receive it. Curious to see the order to delivery times.
Dave, WE ARE NOT HATERS.
We’re frustrated, loyal, Corvette lovers that have been, from DAY ONE, misinformed, teased, lied to, manipulated, and are, quite frankly, tired of GM’s TOTAL MISHANDLING of the Z06 roll-out.
A sleazy Used Car salesman could have done a better job, quite frankly.
Just curious. It seems that many charities can get C-8’s and even ZO6’s for raffles with no problem. Whose allocations do they come from?
Put your order in NOW so that it MIGHT get built before they outright ban ICE. LOL!
Look quick……….The car that ISN’T!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t get them produced due to supply problems so might as well cancel the car and you can buy before all said and done two base cars for the price of what will be one Z06
Good luck getting a Z06 in any trim!
I bought my ZO6 anniversary edition from a Chevrolet dealer as a used car with 11 miles on it and I had to pay almost $50,000 dollars over the sticker price. General Motors should be ashamed of themselves for letting dealers get away with such things. I’m not stupid and I realize no one had a gun to my head to buy the car but each General Motors dealer represents General Motors in some way as a company. I owned a Mobil Oil gas station and I had to adhere to the Mobil Oil standards if I wanted to sell Mobil Oil brand of gas. So, every G.M. dealer represents General Motors as a company even being an independent car dealer. I bought the car and I’m not proud of myself.
James, I read your response and wanted to share that many of us have paid over sticker. Those who would say something negative about your situation, just haven’t experienced it yet. Suffice to say that any Porsche or Ferrari owner within the last four years has paid that much if not more over sticker. Ferrari makes you buy one of their slow moving cars in order to be able to buy a nicer car next time. Next time, you may get the car but not the color that you want. As you develop a relationship and get pummeled each time, you eventually get the car that you want.
Congratulations on your new wheels, those cars are incredible and can’t wait to get mine someday in 2026
