We too like lots of luggage space for 2-3 month trips, so we sympathize with OP.
But any time I've seen any Corvette with actual luggage on a luggage rack, it has a real "Beverly Hillbillies" look.

Looks like that one would work without having to drill into the car to mount it.

Yes, that's good, however I would be very cautious as has potential to do a lot of damage especially if carrying something heavy.

Before I opted for a luggage rack on any sports car, I'd consider shipping my bags wherever I planned to be.

In the late '50s and '60s through the mid '70s - they were almost a preferred accessory. Personally?

My in stock new C3 1977 came with the option from the factory install.

But, whatever.....

Or just fly or even give up long trips all together.

It doesn't look like it belongs there. Odd looking and out of place.

6000 mile three week trip. 7 nights of camping. The rest at various friends’ houses except one night in a hotel which is always my last choice for accommodations:

Racks can be mounted to the massive C7 coupe hatchback easy. Bath tub Porsches had em in the '60s.

in 2012 when the dr took my bike for 6 months, I bought my miata because I could not find a vette. I was the only guy in a miata at willville motorcycle campground at meadows of dan, va. now a few years later, the owner, Will, has bought a Saturn Vue. Florida Bob bought a new miata and pulls a motorcycle camper behind it, leaving his bike at home. and now with the vette, Will parks me under his shelter

and yea, my vette is the only vette I have ever seen in a campground.
