Corvette enthusiasts rejoice with a hint of disappointment! Chevrolet has unveiled two stunning limited-edition C8 Corvettes, the CERV I and Heritage, but there’s a catch – they’re exclusive to Japan.
CERV I: A Blast from the Past:
The CERV I pays tribute to the 1959 Chevrolet Experimental Research Vehicle (CERV), the visionary single-seater that paved the way for the Corvette’s mid-engine revolution. It boasts a head-turning Silver Flare Metallic exterior with bold blue stripes, echoing its historical inspiration.
Heritage Edition: A Timeless Classic:
The Heritage Edition throws it back to the very beginning, honoring the legendary 1953 C1 Corvette. A sophisticated Seawolf dark gray exterior sets the stage, accented by vibrant Edge Yellow brake calipers and sharp 20-inch five double-spoke wheels.
Modern Muscle Meets Classic Charm:
Both special editions seamlessly blend tradition with modern flair. Bespoke interior touches complete the package, creating a captivating fusion of Corvette’s heritage and contemporary design.
Own a Piece of Corvette History (If You’re in Japan):
Under the hood sits a powerful 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, ensuring these Corvettes are exhilarating to drive. With production limited to just 40 units (20 CERV I and 20 Heritage), these special editions offer an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of Corvette history. Corvette’s timeless allure takes center stage, but unfortunately, only for car enthusiasts in Japan.

Wayne W’s 1966 Convertible
Circa: 1977- photo: Purchased this ’66 in E .Akron Ohio in 1973 for $1800 cash. Front bumpers were off, golf clubs in pass. seat. Nicks, scratches, but never crashed. Owner blew the original 427″/425 up. Sitting in place was a 396″. Ran ok and sounded good thru the side pipes. [3.70 gear]. Drove it as it was for 3 years. Booth Arons Engines, Berkley, Mi. went thru engine. [yes, I wanted a #’s match 427 but that exercise would have been way more $$] Rummpy’ cam, 10.5 – 1 compression, 3 angle valve job, #3310 Holley [was HOLLEY Tech rep 10 years. Moved to Mi] Build improved performance! Looked the part. 427 / 425 decal on air cleaner always bothered me, but not enough to take it off! Repaint [great job] detailed – enjoyed ’til sold 1982 [$10,500] down payment on Rochester Mi. home. Stll crying every night. Had a ’91 for 2 years. Maybe another Corvette one day.

Honduras Maroon w/Black Interior, Fuel Injected 327/360hp, 4-Speed
This great looking and driving “fuelie” was completely restored by a G.M. executive and N.C.R.S. member right here in So. CA. back in the late ’80’s. The car was awarded an N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award shortly after its completion. Since then, it’s been well cared for and just went through an extensive service here at Corvette Mike.
To top it all off, the car has been featured in “Muscle Cars of the ’60’s magazine and comes with extensive receipts back to the ’70’s, as well as photos of the restoration. And the F.I. unit was even signed by Zora Arkus-Duntov himself!
