Thanks to Rick Conti for sharing that he found “some 2020 Stingray coupe and Stingray convertible model codes.” Well maybe it is that, or maybe something different, but since the 1YY is the C7 generation starting model code, this is clearly major and new information.
2020 Stingray Model Coupe Code = 1YC07
2020 Stingray Model Convertible Code = 1YC67
What is critically important is that the digit in the start of the VIN that is being changed is not something toward the end of the 17 digit string, but the third one. The first one is the country of origin being the U.S., the second one referring to our GM Corvette, and the third one refers to the model year. As a point of reference, every C7 entry Stingray has been a 1YY from its inception through the current 2019 model year. Here is some current C7 model code information for reference:
Here are the current Stingray codes as a comparison — from the GMfleetorderguide.
Picture thanks to GM, original Stingray internal concept; sketch by Hwasup Lee.
Those codes however, are not in the GMfleetorderguide.com yet; again, they are different from all existing C7 codes.
Is this some part of GMs operation getting ahead of the some other parent, sharing info that yet should not be out, or is GM going to offer something as an interim product before the maybe delayed C8 comes out?
I asked this very question a few days ago this thread? In it, the “condensed here version” for it is a long thread, I suggested than since there is a possibility that the C8 launch, both the reveal and the start of customer production being later than many of us had first wished and wanted, could GM have chosen to show an interim, refreshed 2020 C7 Stingray up its sleeve??? I even suggested some physical changes for that refresh — again if the C8 is not coming out for a while due to electrical upgrades and/or further product development upgrades.
