When the C7 came out in 2014, it was the first Corvette to use the Stingray name since the C3 generation. The C7 Corvette kept the exposed headlights of its predecessor, but it had a unique feature that made it stand out – an updated muscular style with an angled front end and a new squared-off tail light design. This was the first Corvette to deviate from the classic round lenses.
Likely the last front-engine Corvette, the C7 packed 455hp with a 6.2-liter LT1 V8 engine that was available with a seven-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
A new aluminum frame, a carbon fiber hood, and a removable roof panel all worked together to form a significantly lighter vehicle that could deliver on power and speed while maintaining remarkable fuel efficiency at 25 mpg.

I have a build sheet given to me from a dealership on my second service that indicates my 2018 GS color is Edibal Berries Metallic color code 409B, Is there a difference in shading with Black Rose. I have done a side by side compareason and the color seams to have a deeper red tint. Does any one know if there was a color replacement midproduction for Black Rose.
pretty sure 2014-2019 is 6 years’ production, not 9.
what am I missing?
appreciate the data!
Thank you for pointing that out! One less typo to deal with.
I have a 2019 Corvette Stingray 2LT and I can not find the color code. The VIN is 1G1D2D76K5113346 and the color is Shadow Gray but I’d like to be sure. How do I find the color code by the VIN.
The paint code should be on a tag under the carpet in the rear cargo area. It isn’t indicated in the vin.
The build sheet and the windshield sticker will tell you the exact color of your car. Both can be obtained from the Museum. They can be worth both cost and effort.
