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.

The C8 Corvette has graduated to become a proper supercar-killing mid-engine monster. But for many, the C7 Corvette is an icon in its own right. It likely is the last front-engine ’Vette, a formula that lasted seven generations. And in ZR1 guise, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3ZR is every bit as formidable a package, ready to dominate the street and the track. Our featured car is reportedly a low-mileage example, with just 2,290 miles on the odometer. It’s also equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group and a host of performance-focused upgrades, making this a rare opportunity to own one of the most powerful Corvettes ever built.
The sixth generation or C6 Corvette arrived for the 2005 model year, and while it dropped the pop-up headlamps of the fifth generation or C5, it more than compensated for them in other areas. The Corvette gained more power, performance, and luxury features. Plus, the Z06 variant came with the largest small block V8 engine ever produced at the time: a mega 7.0-liter beast. If that’s your sort of thrill, check out this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that’s for sale with us right now. This Idaho-based car is reportedly up-to-date on servicing and comes with the Preferred Equipment Group. But what’s more amazing is it packs an STS twin-turbo system, making the car even more exciting to drive.
American automakers have mastered the art of going fast in a straight line. Cars with their big V8s and loud exhausts that were unrivaled on the drag strip. Nowadays, they’ve had a go at tackling corners and they’ve done a damn good job, especially with cars like this 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 with under 5,000 miles on the clock. This car isn’t built just for the drag strip; it’s built for the track too, and that’s not something we’ve been able to say about American cars of the past.

With a potent 355ci V8 under the hood, a four-speed manual transmission, and a host of tasteful modifications, this Bel Air is ready to turn heads and put down some serious power.

This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is a fully restored classic muscle car featuring a modified 350ci engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission.

This Camaro has reportedly been upgraded with a new shifter, headers, and an aftermarket dual exhaust system, enhancing its driving experience. The current owner also states that the vehicle retains its original 85,000-mile engine while benefiting from new carburetor components, a fresh oil change, and new tires.

The Chevy 210 had a relatively short life, made between 1953 and 1957 before being superseded by the Biscayne. The 210 represented Chevy’s midrange offering, and was offered in various body styles. Buyers could select between sedans, hardtops, coupes, convertibles and wagons. Despite the short production run, Chevy actually made two generations of 210. This particular 1955 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is a second-generation two-door coupe that’s received a thorough makeover. Residing in Orlando, Florida, it’s the perfect classic car with some modern features for someone who isn’t quite ready to go full classic just yet.
