Article: Here's how much each generation Chevy Corvette would cost new today
February 2, 2026
Story by Frankie Cruz on MSN.comWhen the eighth-generation Chevy Corvette entered the market for the 2020 model year, its sub-$60,000 base MSRP was a major selling point. The starting price of a C8 Corvette today, however, has climbed to about $72,500. That $12,500 hike is certainly notable, but it isn't the first time Corvette pricing has seen such a jump within a single generation. For instance, a 1984 Corvette had an original base price of roughly $22,000, which ballooned to nearly $32,000 in 1990.
Whilst comparing price surges throughout history and assessing the base MSRP for each model year of the Corvette, it's easy to think that things used to be so much cheaper. However, the dollar amount of these original sticker prices don't tell the whole story. With that in mind, we set out to clarify just how much each generation Chevy Corvette would cost today when adjusted for inflation.
