Corvette Racing Returns for 2027 with

Two Cars and an Upgraded Z06 GT3.R!

Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports has officially confirmed its return to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for 2027, continuing its pursuit of victory in the highly competitive GTD PRO class.

The team will retain its proven driver lineup, with Antonio García and Alexander Sims behind the wheel of the No. 3 Corvette and Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg returning in the No. 4. This marks the fourth consecutive season for these successful pairings.

Another Championship for Chevrolet!

Chevrolet recently secured its second consecutive IMSA GTD PRO Manufacturers’ Championship, bringing its remarkable total to 16 GT-class manufacturers’ titles since Corvette Racing began in 1999!

The 2026 season included an impressive victory for García and Sims at the Detroit Grand Prix, while Milner and Catsburg finished third in the drivers’ championship standings.

An Even Better Corvette for 2027!

Perhaps the most exciting news is the introduction of the Corvette Z06 GT3.R Evo, scheduled to debut at the 2027 Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The updated race car will feature improvements to aerodynamics, electronics, reliability, and serviceability, building on an already championship-winning platform.

With experienced drivers, a proven team, and an even more competitive Corvette, Chevrolet is setting its sights on another championship!

For Corvette enthusiasts, the excitement continues as America’s sports car prepares to take on the world’s best once again in 2027!


A Very Special Invitation

We’re proud to share some exciting news from Corvette Mike.

Two extraordinary automobiles. Two unforgettable Las Vegas settings. One exciting new chapter.

We’re proud to announce the official launch of the Vietro Collective, making its debut at the prestigious Wynn Concours d’Elegance, October 29–November 1, 2026, in Las Vegas.

Our beautiful 1963 Tuxedo Black Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Z06 Coupe will be displayed on the lawn at Wynn as part of the Vietro Collective, rather than participating in the judged competition. It’s a fitting stage for the first-year C2, a car whose unmistakable silhouette still commands attention.

Alongside it will sit a stunning Ferrari 458 Spider celebrating Ferrari’s iconic 60th Anniversary in America. The Corvette’s dramatic split-window profile and the Ferrari’s flowing, sculpted lines will bring two distinct expressions of automotive beauty to the lawn at Wynn. Together, they’ll be a sight to behold.

This is what the Vietro Collective is about: remarkable automobiles, enduring design, and the passion that brings enthusiasts together. We can’t imagine a more memorable setting for its official introduction.

And the Corvette’s Las Vegas appearance won’t end there. During SEMA Week, November 3–6, 2026, the Tuxedo Black ’63 will take its place on stage November 5 at SEMA Industry Honors, the aftermarket industry’s annual celebration, held at the BleauLive Theater at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

SEMA itself has a remarkable history. The Association was formed in 1963, with the first SEMA Show held in 1967 at Dodger Stadium. The event moved to Las Vegas in 1977, making it the longest-running city-wide show in Las Vegas. The year 2027 will mark 60 years since the first SEMA Show, celebrating six decades of bringing together some of the most influential people, vehicles, and innovations in the automotive world.

For all of us at Corvette Mike, these appearances are an honor and an exciting beginning for the Vietro Collective. From the lawn at Wynn to the awards stage at SEMA, this will be a Las Vegas adventure worth celebrating.

Join us at Wynn and be part of the Vietro Collective’s debut. Mark your calendar for October 29–November 1 and make plans to see these extraordinary automobiles in person. Contact Corvette Mike for display details and to connect with our team during the event.

1967 Goodwood Green Corvette 427/390hp Convertible

VIN 00209, one of the earliest

1967 Big-Block we have every seen!

Here’s something that makes this 1967 Corvette truly extraordinary!

With VIN 100209, this Goodwood Green Convertible is the earliest-production 1967 big-block Corvette we’ve encountered in our 45 years in business!

Could it be the very first 1967 L36 big-block Corvette built? We can’t say for certain, but with a VIN this early, it’s certainly an intriguing possibility. Regardless, once you own it, you’ll have some pretty awesome bragging rights!

Under the hood sits its numbers-matching L36 427/390hp big-block, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.

Finished in its factory Goodwood Green with a black leather interior, this Corvette underwent a gradual restoration over a ten-year period. It features a white convertible top, matching Goodwood Green hardtop, and a Hurst shifter. The engine was also professionally refreshed, with service records documenting the work.

With its exceptionally early production number, legendary 427 performance, and beautiful color combination, this is one 1967 Corvette that deserves special attention!

Coming soon to Corvette Mike!

1963 Ermine White

Chevy Impala Z11 427/430hp Hardtop

Ex-Joie Chitwood Race Car

A Rare Piece of Chevrolet Racing History!

 

Before the muscle car wars of the late 1960s, Chevrolet unleashed one of its most formidable factory-built drag racing machines: the 1963 Impala Z11!

Finished in beautiful Ermine White with a striking red interior, this rare Impala features Chevrolet’s specially developed 427ci/430hp Z11 V8, paired with a Borg-Warner T-10 4-speed manual transmission.

Built specifically for drag racing, the Z11 featured dual four-barrel carburetors, lightweight aluminum body components, and an engine believed to produce considerably more than its advertised 430 horsepower!

Adding to its remarkable history is its connection to legendary racer and stunt driver Joie Chitwood!

With extremely limited production and a fascinating racing pedigree, the Z11 remains one of Chevrolet’s most desirable and historically significant performance cars.

A rare opportunity to own a piece

of Chevrolet’s factory racing history!

Some Random Thoughts

 

Some people have a way with words. Others have a way of making you wish they didn’t.

It’s amazing how quickly a restaurant bill can make you forget how good the meal was.

I’ve noticed that the more expensive something is, the smaller the instruction booklet gets.
