The Corvette represents Chevrolet’s finest moment, in creating their pinnacle sports car way back in 1953. Fast forward to 2020, and the eighth generation of the model is generating strong sales, having undergone an evolution in the shape of a mid-mounted engine. Corvettes are universally loved, and appreciated. Some people love them in stock form, some modify them in degrees ranging from mild to wild, and there’s the restomod community. This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod is one such example. Coming from New York with just 11,555 miles, and is a complete, body-off restomod with OEM-correct numbered parts. Read on to find out why it deserves a place on your driveway or in your car port.
The C2 Corvette, produced between 1963 and 1967 would bring about the iconic pop-up headlamps and the hallowed Stingray name. The penmanship of Larry Shinoda, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod wears a lustrous red color that’s been primed, sealed, and finished off with urethane paint. It rolls on a set of modern Z06 wheels wrapped in low profile tires. All chromework has been painstakingly restored and gleam to their best in the sunshine. The interior sports a tan color theme with seating for two occupants, and chromed details such as window winders and door pulls. Whilst the gauges look retro-styled, they are a modern set of Dakota Digital units. Pop the glove box on the cockpit-styled dual-hooped dash in front of the passenger seat, and you find a modern Kenwood head unit with CD, Bluetooth, USB, and AUX options that plays through no less than eight speakers.
This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod is powered by a modern Chevrolet LS3 6.2L V8 engine that’s been further massaged by a Procharger supercharger for even more power. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Steeroids Power Steering Package by Steeroids Direct, whilst braking has seen an upgrade too, in the shape of Wilwood calipers and rotors, which grip ventilated disc brakes, as part of a Hydroboost brake system. All four wheels have been blessed with adjustable Sharkbite coilover suspension to ensure that handling can match the increased power and stopping prowess.

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.

Classic car styling blended with modern day aesthetics makes for a machine that takes a lot of your time as you stand back and look at it with awe. The perfect blend is a topic that sees a lot of discussion but the general priority would be to balance out modern day looks while not taking the character of a classic car away. Present today is rare occasion when the perfect blend takes shape and looks like this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
