Kiss frontman sells his Corvette
The converter with VIN 001 is “very good” for him
Kiss Leader Paul Stanley sells a Corvette Stingray Convertible with VIN 001 – though he loves the car.
Famous Kiss player Paul Stanley sells a very special Corvette: the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Cabriolet 2022 is the first convertible in a series of models to be built. So the car has a VIN (car identification number) 001. According to the singer, he knew nothing about the fact that he was getting the first version to replace the new Corvette mid-engine engine.

Many years ago, Stanley helped design the Red Mist Metallic color for the Corvette which Chevrolet showed at SEMA in Las Vegas in 2014.
Stanley thinks the car is too good for him
Paul Stanley is also called The Starchild in his band because the black star formed around his right eye is part of his stage costume. The singer of the rock and metal Kiss band, founded 49 years ago, is a car fan. In a Twitter post about the purchase of his 2020 Corvette coupe, Stanley shows that he is in international standard cars and that the new Corvette is much better than that. However, Stanley seems to be overwhelmed by the responsibility of turning the Corvette with chassis number 001: “I’d like to make it available to someone who can do more with it. Whether it’s adding it to the collection or running it, so,” Stanley hopes.

Colors from Stanley Corvette story
The Corvette Convertible for sale now has a choice of top wing, front partitions and side skirts, and Edge Yellow brake cuffs. The color is called Red Mist Metallic – the color should be similar to that of the Corvette that Chevrolet presented in 2014 at the world’s largest renovation show, SEMA Show in Las Vegas (SEMA: Specialty Equipment Market Association). Stanley himself had worked in the Corvette design.

Conclusion
Great kiss singer Paul Stanley sells his Corvette Stingray Cabriolet. Without his knowledge, Chevrolet sold him a car changer with a car identification number 001.
