There are countless numbers of Corvette websites between Corvette Clubs, dealerships, and product and services sites. But there are many informational sites that every Corvette owner or wanna-be should know about. Besides www.CorvetteGearUSA.com, here are my fav-5.

The National Corvette Museum

www.CorvetteMuseum.com
Just as the real Museum itself is a place for Corvette fans, the world over, to congregate, enjoy camaraderie with each other, and learn more about their precious vehicles, the website has the same person. Here you’ll find out about the Museum’s expansion progress, connect with other Corvette lovers and their clubs, learn about the history of the Corvette, and get helpful information to help you make the best decisions when purchasing a ‘Vette. There is even a full Corvette store online for you to purchase things for your car or Corvette accessories for yourself. And this site is always jam packed with Museum sponsored events that take place in the Museum’s hometown of Bowling Green, KY. Considering going to the Museum and want to really see what it looks like? Visit the site’s webcam page for live views.

The Corvette Forum

www.CorvetteForum.com
The Corvette Forum is an independent site for Corvette enthusiasts. Its existence relies solely on advertisers and is not associated by General Motors in anyway. If you check out the site, though, it looks like it could be because it is such a successful robust site. Good job to those that run it! Check out the site for more information about Corvettes than you can find anywhere.

There is the “Corvette Mall” where you can purchase tires, parts, books and manuals for old Corvettes and new, accessories, like stereos and speakers, car covers, garage equipment, license plate holders, and more. And if you are looking for events across the nation or in your own back yard, you’ll find them, big and small, on the Corvette forum. Product reviews are a helpful part of this site as well. Perhaps the best part of this, though, is the reason for its name, “Corvette Forum.” There are a multitude of forums varying by the generation of your Corvette (C1, C2, C3, etc.), but there are also “Off Topic,” “General Corvettes,” and “Events,” forums. This is a great way to gather new information and to connect with Corvette friends across the globe. WARNING: You will become addicted to this site. All ‘Vette lovers eventually do!

Corvette Action Center

www.CorvetteActionCenter.com
The Corvette Action Center is similar to The Corvette Forum. It’s a great place to gather for camaraderie and information. There are numerous forums on here as well, along with product reviews, relevant news articles, an all important tech center that explains how to care for your Corvette, how-to information, storing a ‘Vette, tips for buying one, and so much more. The cool videos section shows Corvettes racing and doing burnouts (I don’t recommend this with expensive ‘Vette tires!) Other areas to note is the showroom section where you will find Corvettes to purchase, along with parts and accessories and the Owner Research section which provides you with the necessary tools to document information on you and your Corvette. This will be helpful for future buyers of the car. And you can look up information on those who have already documented things if you plan on purchasing their car.

Vette Finders

www.VetteFinders.com
As the name indicates, this site is packed with information on buying and selling Corvettes. It indicates the value of the cars, what you should price it at, and what you pay for a ‘Vette if you are planning on buying one. The site also provides a “classified ad” section which serves as an avenue for you to put your Corvette up for sale, or find others that are up for grabs.

VetteTube

www.VetteTube.com
I work in the world of academia as my steady gig, and through that job, I’ve learned that everyone has a different learning style. So while all the sites above will help you read more about the world of Corvettes, VetteTube helps you learn through videos. The best part of this site, in my opinion, is the “Tech Corner Channel,” which provides instructional videos on improvements and maintenance for your Corvette. Each of the videos are very brief, spanning between thirty seconds, up to just under ten minutes. There are plenty of other channels to watch on VetteTube, too, many of which are just fun to see what people are doing with their cars.
