General Motors has announced that less than 900 of its 3,000 Chevrolet dealerships will get to sell the 2014 Corvette Stingray when it launches.
According to Automotive News, only 30 percent of Chevrolet dealership are eligible to sell America's most awaited sportscar starting this summer, with the rest to receive the C7 Corvette six to nine months after the car's launch.
"Chevrolet provided dealers with guidance and requirements early in 2012 so dealers would know well in advance whether they would likely receive Corvette models during the initial six to nine months after launch," Russ Clark, Chevrolet marketing director for performance cars, said in a statement.
In order to be eligible to sell the new Corvette right from the start, the dealerships had to have sold at least four C6 Corvettes last year. The 900 dealerships chosen by General Motors account for 80 percent of Corvette sales in 2012.
