Default 70th Anniversary Model

Noted that the pics of the pearl white 70th anniversary edition from the Michelin Bash at NCM differ from the visualizer in a few ways.
The pics show body color mirrors, this visualizer show carbon fiber color. The pics show spoiler body color, the visualizer shows black.
The interior pics show white accents on dash, etc., the visualizer shows only seat inserts as white, black in all other areas.
I realize that this might just be a pre production model, but it would be great if someone with inside knowledge could clarify.
Close to placing order and just curious what the real configuration is and/or if changes can be made.TIA

I have a Pearl White 70th Anniversary ordered for my wife, status 3000 with MM. I don't think Chevy has done a very good job showing what's in the 70th Anniversary package. It's like some legislation of late, You've got to buy it to find out what's in it. Our Workbench order shows
Y70: 70 Anniversary Special Edition
ZYC: Carbon Flash Painted outside mirrors and spoiler
VTB: LPO Rear Bumper Protector (not sure what that is)
DRG: Outside rear view mirrors - Carbon Fiber Flash Painted
EFR: Exterior Trim Accents, Carbon Flash
DTF: 70th Anniv Stripes, Satin Matrix Gray
SO1: Premium Leather Luggage, 70th Anniv.
Q9A: Wheels, Carbon Flash w/Red Stirpe 20 spoke.
I understood you can't change any of these and keep the 70th Anniv. Package.

So to answer your questions, I expect Carbon Fiber mirror covers, and Carbon Flash painted spoiler.

Agree....I just talked to our MM dealer contact and he could not change anything in his order system to vary the 70th anniversary edition. So we concluded that the display model at the NCM Bash might be preproduction model with some variation from the Y70 package. We are placing order tomorrow and it will be what you ordered with a few add on options. NCM delivery. Hope the Mag Ride becomes available soon.

Makes sense that they wouldn't allow changes since I assume most would delete the luggage

Thank you

Carbon Fiber Flash Painted makes zero sense. They are either Carbon Fiber caps or Carbon Flash painted.

The following is from the Online Order/Reference Guide:
Y70
NEW! 70th Anniversary Special Edition, includes (Q9A) 19" front/20" rear 20-spoke Carbon Flash-painted forged aluminum wheels with Red stripe, (J6N) Edge Red-painted calipers, (VTB) Rear fascia/roof storage protector in Black with embroidered crossed flags logo, LPO, (HV1) Ceramic White leather seating surfaces with Red stitching, (3F9) Torch Red seat belt color, (SO1) 70th Anniversary set of premium leather weekend/travel bags, LPO, 70th anniversary exterior badging and logo on wheel caps, seats, steering wheel and sill plates, and unique VIN sequence
1 - Also includes (RCC) LT2 engine cover in Edge Red, LPO. Requires exterior color (G1W) White Pearl Metallic Tricoat [which includes (ZYC) Carbon Flash Metallic-painted outside mirrors and spoiler (when equipped)] or (GAR) Carbon Flash Metallic. Not available with (EYK) Chrome Exterior Badge Package, the following RPO stripes (DSY, DSZ, DT0, DTH, DUB, DUW, DX0, DZU, DZV, DZX), LPO stripes/graphics (PDV, SB7, SHQ, SHW, SNG), LPO wheel center caps (5ZC, 5ZD, RXH, RXJ, VWD), or LPO script badges (RIK, RIN, SL8). (DTK) 70th Anniversary Satin Matrix Gray Full Length Dual Racing Stripe Package is available with (GAR) Carbon Flash Metallic; (DTF) 70th Anniversary Satin Black Metallic Full Length Dual Racing Stripe Package is available with (G1W) White Pearl Metallic Tricoat.
2 - Requires exterior color (G1W) White Pearl Metallic Tricoat [which includes (ZYC) Carbon Flash Metallic-painted outside mirrors and spoiler (when equipped)] or (GAR) Carbon Flash Metallic. Not available with (EYK) Chrome Exterior Badge Package, the following RPO stripes (DSY, DSZ, DT0, DTH, DUB, DUW, DX0, DZU, DZV, DZX), LPO stripes/graphics (PDV, SB7, SHQ, SHW, SNG), LPO wheel center caps (5ZC, 5ZD, RXH, RXJ, VWD), or LPO script badges (RIK, RIN, SL8). (DTK) 70th Anniversary Satin Matrix Gray Full Length Dual Racing Stripe Package is available with (GAR) Carbon Flash Metallic; (DTF) 70th Anniversary Satin Black Metallic Full Length Dual Racing Stripe Package is available with (G1W) White Pearl Metallic Tricoat.
Footnote 1 is for the coupe and footnote 2 is for the HTC.

Here's the description of RPO DRG:
​​​​​​​DRG Mirrors, outside, Carbon Flash Metallic-painted
You'll get Carbon Flash Painted mirrors, not Carbon Fiber mirror covers.

Well, I agree the "Carbon Fiber, Flash Painted", makes no sense. That's the designation on the Workbench order. Could they mean Carbon Flash painted, with a Carbon Fiber Cover on the top half? On the Visualizer when you select the Pearl White 70th Anniv option on Special Editions, it check marks a number of items that are included. Those additionally marked on Exterior page, include Carbon Flash painted mirrors and spoiler, and the option Accessory Visible Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers. The photos appear to show a black painted mirror, with a carbon fiber cover over the top half.

Like I said earlier, you have to buy a $100k package, to see what you get. It would be a nice bonus to get a little carbon fiber on it.

The mirrors on the car at the Bash look to be white with a black base.

The Carbon Fiber Mirror caps are option 5JR:

5JR LPO, Outside mirror covers in visible Carbon Fiber, includes (DRG) Carbon Flash Metallic-painted outside mirrors, Genuine Corvette Accessory
There is no mention of 5JR being included in the Anniversary Editions. It is also not listed in what you posted from your Workbench order. Is 5JR listed anywhere on your Workbench order? If it isn't, then they are definitely not included.

The Online Order/Reference Guide is far more reliable than the visualizer. It also quite common for early versions get made and they are not what the final production versions are.

The seat surfaces cannot be changed (HVI is the interior code):

It appears that the Stealth trim can be ordered with the 70th Anniversary Edition:

BAZ NEW! Stealth Interior Trim Package, dark finish aluminum trim (available on 2LT and 3LT)

@Zymurgy do you happen to know if you can order the carbon flash roof on the white 70th? From what I can see on order books and visualizer it appears it’s possible.

Per the Online Order/Reference Guide, yes you can:
D84 Convertible top, Carbon Flash-painted nacelles and roof
1 - Not available with exterior color (GBA) Black.
2 - Not available with exterior color (GAR) Carbon Flash Metallic or (GBA) Black.
It says it cannot be ordered with the black 70th (Carbon Flash Metallic), but not prohibited on the white 70th (White Pearl Metallic).

Foot note 1 applies to 1LT and 2LT HTCs. Footnote 2 applies to 3LT HTC (and the 70th are 3LTs).
