While this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is currently sitting at a salvage yard, we suspect it could be returned to its former glory without too much trouble.
The IAAI listing of the car reveals that it was crashed with just 245 miles on the clock and has been issued with a salvage title in Massachusetts. Importantly, the seller states that it still runs and can be driven and based on the information available, could be easily repaired by someone who knows what they’re doing.

In mid-2021, we brought you the video of an enthusiast purchasing a badly damaged C8 Corvette Stingray and expertly repairing it in his garage. That ‘Vette had extensive damage across one of its sides while on this example, the damage appears to be limited to the front end.
Indeed, the only obvious parts to have been damaged are the front bumper, front splitter, air intakes, grille, and hood. Interestingly, the listing notes an estimated repair cost of $46,666 for the car but that seems rather exorbitant unless there is some damage that we cannot see in these images.
Chevrolet commenced production of the 2023 model year Corvette on May 23 and will continue to build it until early next year when the 2024 model is introduced. While repairing this particular unit could be quite costly, it could be picked up quite a bit cheaper than purchased a brand new car. Indeed, the car is listed as having a value of $114,600 and at the time of writing, someone had already placed a bid of $51,325.
