There are countless writeups about Larry Shinoda's second generation Corvette, each telling you about the story of how this American legend is one of the most sought after its ancestry, but the specific Corvette we have in discussion today is so much more than that. You see, while there are a lot of diehard "all original" fans out there, some car people dare to be different. they aspire to take something special and make it their own, and that's where restomods come in. To be honest, we see nothing wrong in taking a special car and transforming it to look and drive exactly how you want it to; in fact, that's what makes a car one of a kind, and one of a kind is exactly what this 1965 Corvette is. With an array of aftermarket parts and extras, it's a truly unique machine, one that is currently up for sale.
Anyone with a modest amount of knowledge of a second-gen Corvette can easily identify that this car is special. From its LED head and taillights to the bright red Wilwood brakes on all fours sitting behind a set of aftermarket wheels. This car was built to stand out. What's more, it is reported that the car has a new rear end, an L88 hood painted to color match, new 4-wheel alignment, bushings, and wheel bearings, along with 3" side pipes. The interior of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod really brings out the elements of new in this machine. The predominately redone red-themed interior has an A/C, new wiring under its Dakota digital dash and front end, two cut-off toggles under the dash for fuel and power, a battery that has been relocated behind the passenger seat along with a cut-off, a stereo system with Bluetooth. You'll also find tinted power windows, power steering, as well as a fire extinguisher for good measure.
When it comes to a powertrain, this specific 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod has swapped out its original engine with a 427ci Big Block V8, complete with a 700R automatic transmission with overdrive, 3.55 gears, and a 2800 stall converter.
Chevy’s C5 Corvette was introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor to the wildly popular C4 Corvette. The C5 took many of the C4’s best aspects and further refined them. However, it saw a significant mechanical change in that the gearbox was now sited at the rear of the car, directly driving the rear axle. This set-up optimized weight distribution, making the Corvette an even better track handler than it already was. Facilitating this system was a torque tube that rotated at crankshaft RPM, running down the middle of the car straight to the gearbox. This system resulted in the magic 50-50 weight distribution that keen performance driving enthusiasts crave. Today’s 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop offers that, plus the rarer hardtop body style, and a manual gearbox, making it a truly appealing car for someone who loves to drive and seeks a future classic. This car has covered just under 125,000 miles and lives in New York.
The C2 or second generation of Chevy Corvette is one of the most iconic in the saga of America’s definitive sports car. Made between 1963 and 1967, it had a relatively short production run in comparison to the C1 and C3 that bookended it, yet nearly 118,000 examples were produced in coupe and convertible forms. The C2 introduced pop-up headlamps, the Stingray name (spelled as Sting Ray), and the iconic boat-tailed styling. Today, we have a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Ladera Ranch, California, for sale with just 75,461 miles on the clock. This car is an excellent choice for a discerning classic car collector. Alternatively, it’s a perfect starter classic for someone who’s just dipping their toes into classic cars and wants something truly American to own and drive.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
Today, what we know as the Chevrolet Silverado line-up of sturdy full-size pickup trucks can be traced way back to 1960 and Chevy’s C/K Series. Actually, if you really want, you can go back even further, but the proper ancestor is the first-generation C/K. That’s precisely where this 1966 Chevrolet C10 Stepside hails from. These trucks were built in the United States, as well as several other countries including Argentina and Canada. This particular truck is currently stabled in Nevada with just over 44,000 miles to its name. Hence, it’s a great way to dip your feet into the classic car waters, with a machine that’s not just stylish and representative of the Sixties, but something that mobilized countless Americans and helped them reach their goals. We see that two keys plus a brochure are included with the sale of this truck.

You can’t go amiss by choosing a first-generation Ford Mustang as your starter classic car. Ford’s signature model created the whole pony car arena, and over sixty years later, remains the sole survivor of the segment. The first generation Mustang was offered between 1964 (called 1964½ models) and 1973. Along the way, it offered various engines and came in some high-performance variants too. Buyers could choose three body styles, and many went for the stylish fastback or the slick convertible. But, the third choice, the two-door hardtop offered sleek and arguably unappreciated style that really made owning one a personal choice of distinction. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop for sale in Goodyear, Arizona. With its host of upgrades, this is a classic car that’s suitable for daily driving if desired. Snap it up soon!
