If there ever is a car with every generation considered desirable, the Chevrolet Corvette is a prime candidate. Each of its eight generations enjoy a firm fan base, with many aspiring to own and drive a Corvette at some stage of their life. It is truly America’s Sports Car. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is from the Larry Shinoda-designed C2 or second generation, and has received a heart transplant, plus the current seller has spent about $12k to get it in the shape you see here. It’s been professionally looked after and is claimed to be the perfect platform for a new restoration, or to be enjoyed as-is. The seller is unsure of the car’s originality and matching numbers, but that’s not an issue for many Corvette aficionados.
Clothed in a maroon paintwork, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible showcases the iconic lines of the C2 with the added benefit of open-topped motoring at will, and its removable hardtop is included in the sale for those days when you prefer things buttoned up. Those iconic pop-up headlamps, boat-tail styling, period correct wheels and side exhausts with silver exhaust pipe guards are all present and correct on this ‘Vette, and appear to be in decent condition from the photos. Step aboard into the black two-seat interior and it’s not factory fresh, but has worn well for its age. The twin-cowled dashboard, an iconic Corvette styling cue is present, as are all gauges, push-button radio, chrome gear lever and wood rimmed steering wheel bearing the Chevrolet flags at the center. An Auto Guardian security system keypad is visible in the passenger side of the dash, but we’re unsure of its functionality.
There were plenty of V8 engine options offered on the C2, from a 327ci small-block to a 427ci big-block, but this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible eschews the factory offerings for a reported 350ci (5.7L) crate engine V8, which drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you choose to retain this engine or change it is up to you, but being a proper burbly V8, keeping it isn’t a bad idea.

For Corvette lovers, this is Genesis. The original C1 Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953 and was made for an impressive (by modern standards) nine years before its replacement was unveiled in 1962. Conceived to take on the might of the British sportscar industry, the C1 Corvette was an all-American interpretation of the classic two-seater formula. In 1955, the Corvette got an updated body, which was carried through to our featured car: a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that comes with a four-speed manual transmission and a 265ci V8 engine. This classic Corvette is ready for a new home. If you’re a lover of old-school American metal, then this could be the car you’re looking for.
This is the car that changed the iconic Corvette’s script: the Chevrolet Corvette C8. By relocating the 6.2L V8 to the middle instead of leaving it at the front, Chevrolet bred a new track monster. The C8 is a beast that costs almost half the price of its European rivals. The example we have for sale is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT which is equipped with a Theft Deterrent System, among other choice options. The car has a mere 7,275 miles on the odometer, as it happily awaits its new owner.
When it came time to change the successful formula of the Chevrolet Corvette C1 for its second generation, there’s no doubt the design team would have been more than a little worried. Somehow they did, and the C2 Corvette has become known as an iconic design in the history of American sports cars. The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was the last year for the C2 chassis, and it was reported that this generation of ’Vette had originally been planned to be replaced by the C3 in 1967, but the C2 was kept around a year longer. As such, the model benefitted from a light refresh going into ’67, making it one of the more desirable model years. For sale, here is a carefully cared-for example of a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible, complete with original equipment and even an optional hardtop.

The first generation Chevrolet Camaro was the genesis for the long line of models that followed. It set in motion a trend of good looks, tractable power, and all-out performance that is recognized to this day. And none did more for impressionable owners than the Camaro SS. The SS was a performance package added to the base Camaro that included larger engine options and an improved chassis to handle the extra power. It sat below the Z/28 and could be combined with the RS (Rally Sport) appearance package. The car offered for sale here is reported to have undergone a frame-off restoration, which was completed just last year. Since the work was carried out, the new engine has covered less than 2,500 miles.
