The first-generation Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most sought-after American classics in the world, and there’s a good reason why. It started a line of serious sports cars that continues to exist to this day. With a range of engine and transmission options on offer, the Corvette proved to be a genuine performance car. It also featured a fiberglass body, which saved weight. And, of course, it also looked the part. With ’50s styling cues, the Corvette is likely the first car to spring to mind when thinking of a classic American convertible. The 1959 model year marked the last year of production for the C1 Corvette, and as you’d expect, it’s a popular model year for a number of reasons. The styling ditched the superficial louvers on the hood, while engineering changes to the rear of the ’Vette helped improve handling. The car you see featured here is offered for sale with a numbers-matching engine and manual transmission , making it a rare example of originality.
This particular 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has been subjected to a major refresh, with work completed fairly recently in 2017. The roadster is finished in an eye-catching shade of bright red, with the iconic side coves finished in a contrasting white. Matching the two-tone theme, you’ll also find a new white soft top and white wall tires that wrap around a set of five-spoke chrome wheels. The current owner reports that the interior was redone during the refresh work. The red upholstery matches the exterior, as too does the dashboard and passenger grab bar. The interior features an aftermarket steering wheel from Boyd Coddington Accessories. Behind the steering wheel, you’ll find a speedometer and tachometer dead center, with ancillary gauges monitoring fuel level, water temperature, battery amperage, and oil pressure on either side.
Under the hood of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, you’ll find a replacement 283ci V8 engine. This motor has been upgraded to feature electronic fuel injection. The four-speed manual gearbox makes this Corvette C1 a rare example of originality. Another desirable factory option installed is the car’s Posi Trac rear differential. Other features include front disc brakes and a new gas tank.

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
This 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is a high-spec 3LZ trim model that’s been supercharged into the stratosphere via the Callaway SC757 package, cranking out 757 horsepower & 777 lb-ft of torque. Drenched in Sebring Orange Tintcoat with striking yellow accents and a dramatic Lambo-style door conversion, this isn’t just a Z06 — it’s a showstopper with world-class performance and presence.
This 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT offers a classic American sports car formula: front-engine, rear-drive, naturally aspirated V8 power, and aggressive styling. Optioned with the 8-speed automatic transmission and dressed in Black over Jet Black Mulan leather, this Stingray mixes everyday drivability with weekend track-day potential. A few select aesthetic and performance touches set it apart from base models, making it a clean, no-nonsense Corvette for purists.
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro blends classic first-generation styling with meaningful performance upgrades, creating a well-executed build with strong street presence. The seller states that the car is powered by a 427ci big-block V8, and the aggressive stance, polished wheels, and drag-style rear setup reinforce its pro-street character. Finished in black with white striping, the car maintains its vintage charm while incorporating modern performance enhancements, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts who want both style and power.
The Chevy Tahoe is synonymous with a full-size, value-packed family SUV experience, with enough space for everyone, cargo, and even pets if desired. Since 1992, the Tahoe took over the mantle from the K5 Blazer and raised the bar quite significantly. Now, the Tahoe is on its fifth generation, alongside its GMC Yukon sibling. That’s why an older Tahoe can be a great choice, even if it’s got nearly 79,000 miles, like this 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe LS. This Greensboro-based SUV is of the four-door variant because Chevy did offer a two-door Tahoe as well, for early series. It’s got a nice V8 under the hood, and is ready for action. Plus, it’s definitely tipped to be a future classic, so that’s money in the bank for you!
