What’s the best way to clean the undercarriage of salt being so low?

Probably the only thing that you can do is to go to one of those drive thru car washes that spray upwards to do your underneath. We have them in Michigan, but its a couple bucks more for the underneath spray. Im not sure that it even works that well.

That’s true but I’m worried my 12 inch rears will fit on the tracks.

Stop in and ask if they will allow your Vette into their carwash. Some do, some don't. If you're stock height it should be no issue. Firehouse carwash near me can handle up to a 14" wide tire.

Use your power washer fit a 6 foot piece of pvc pipe drill holes every 2 inches cap off one end connect it to your power washer. Not perfect but works for cleaning my 4x4 when it gets muddy or comes back from the beach.

Way to think out of the box - good suggestion.

If you can't get your car into an automated car wash, at least take it to a self serve car wash and use the wand to spray under the car.

Similar suggestion but lazier, works great for cleaning the mud off the 4x4. Go buy one or two of those cheap (like 8 bucks) oscillating sprinklers from Home Depot, and just stick it under there for a little while. To do the Corvette, probably need to put it up on stands in the driveway.
