If you’re a Corvette fan, a first-generation example is likely very high on your bucket list. Yes, why not own and drive an example from the era that started one of America’s finest automotive legacies? However, today’s 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a little different. It’s been tastefully modified and upgraded with some modern components and most tantalizingly, a modern V8 from a newer Corvette! Having done a mere 2,142 miles after all this meticulous and painstaking work, this fully dialed-in car now resides in Sapphire, North Carolina, ready for a new owner and fresh adventures. Talk to us if you’d like to be that lucky person.
This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 has been painted in a smooth shade of silver, really bringing out its iconic and timeless styling. Meanwhile, the wheels have been upgraded to forged black aluminum units, and the whole thing sits on a custom chassis. Since the car is a convertible, there’s a black canvas top for use in poor weather, but the car looks best top-down, when its profile really cuts a fine dash. Meanwhile, a custom side dual-exit exhaust system ensures that the V8’s rumble and roar is really prominent. The Lipstick Red interior features Daytona-style leather bucket seats in the same shade, as well as amenities such as power windows, air conditioning and an aftermarket audio player. The latter is from Kenwood, and offers Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and an AUX input as well as regular FM radio. Meanwhile, a bevy of Dakota Digital gauges have been added as well, aiding monitoring of the modernized powertrain that lurks within. All this sits neatly within the car’s original dashboard, tastefully combining retro and modern. Even the trunk compartment has reportedly been overhauled.
A modern 6.2-liter LS3 V8 tuned by Hendrick Motorsports and packing an aftermarket camshaft powers this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3. Paired with a crisp 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the renewed powertrain really makes this Corvette a treat to drive. Four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, coilover shocks and vented, cross-drilled zinc-plated rotors also come together for a holistic experience.
Chevy’s C8 or eighth-generation Corvette debuted in 2020 with a new mid-engined design, supercar-inspired looks and a new level of performance, overall. The new LT2 small-block V8 makes 490hp and 465lb-ft in stock form, which is a mild increase over the C7 on paper, but translates to vastly improved acceleration and drivability as a result of tuning and the new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox which the C8 comes with. But what if you want to make that naturally aspirated unit into a forced induction beast? Well, you get something like this 570-horsepower 2022 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT. Tuned by Elited South Tuning and fitted with a Huron twin-turbo kit, this rear-wheel drive beast could be yours. It’s up for grabs in Greer, South Carolina with under 5,000 miles on the clock. The original window sticker, two keys and owner’s manual are included with the sale as well.
The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette sports car and grand tourer was revealed to the public in 1953. Called the C1, it ran until 1962, and sold just over 69,000 units. Today, finding a C1 is a little tough, but not impossible. You’ll find pristinely-kept, bone-stock examples, fixer-uppers, daily runners and restomods, like this Texas-based 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LT1 from a later Corvette, as well as aftermarket Z06-style wheels and a 4L60E 4-speed autobox. These, plus many other refinements make this a classic Corvette that you can daily drive with comfort and confidence.
The Chevrolet Corvette has been on the map for offering the world some of the most iconic classics. "America's sports car" refers almost universally to this unmistakable car. In the modern day and age, Chevrolet engineers aspire to keep this title alive by creating supercar-level performance vehicles for a relatively accessible price point. What we have here is a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray IMSA GTLM Championship C8.R Edition that found its way to our inventory from Henderson, Nevada. With a limited production of only 1000 units, this rare specimen was introduced to celebrate Corvette Racing's dominant 2020 IMSA championship. This being a collectible car is a no-brainer, and this example can be yours with only 6575 miles on its odometer.

Chevy’s midsize contender from 1964 to 1977, the Chevelle was one of GM’s most popular A-body models. Three generations were made, and buyers could pick from various body styles. Today, we have a third-generation 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Station Wagon for sale from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As you might notice, this car has undergone a full restoration. We’re told that it’s been refurbished by Luce Customs and has covered just 1,204 miles since then. With its modern V8, custom sound system, and overall clean appearance, it’s a great restomod to acquire.
