1970 Chevrolet Corvette

Current Ask
$49,999

The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe comes from one of the most memorable periods of the C3 era, when dramatic bodywork and big-block power were at the heart of the Corvette formula. Showing 122,775 miles, this example is finished in Classic White over a Black interior and carries the desirable 454ci LS5 V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Its combination of removable T-top roof panels, chrome bumpers, Rally wheels, and a rear luggage rack gives it the unmistakable look of an early C3, while power steering and power brakes add welcome usability. For enthusiasts drawn to the sound, torque, and presence of a big-block Stingray, this one delivers the right ingredients in a very traditional configuration.

2004 Chevrolet Corvette

Current Ask
$22,000

The 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the closing chapter of the C5 generation, a car that helped move the Corvette firmly into the modern performance era while still keeping the formula simple: a lightweight two-seat body, a naturally aspirated V8 up front, and power going to the rear wheels. Showing 67,134 miles, this example is finished in Machine Silver Metallic over a Black interior and pairs its 5.7L LS1 V8 with a 4-speed automatic transmission. More importantly for an enthusiast, it is equipped with the Z51 Performance Handling Package and a 3.15 performance axle ratio, giving this C5 a sharper edge than a standard touring-spec car. High-polished 5-spoke aluminum wheels, a Head-Up Display, dual removable roof panels, and the 1SB Preferred Equipment Group round out a specification that blends classic Corvette performance with the comfort and convenience that made the C5 such a capable everyday sports car.

2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ

Current Ask
$79,900

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ sits right at the sweet spot of the C7 era, pairing old-school front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Corvette attitude with the kind of supercharged performance that turned the Z06 into one of the most memorable American performance cars of its generation. Showing 36,389 miles, this example already has plenty of presence in Sebring Orange Tintcoat, but it pushes the look even further with a Carbon Flash hood stinger stripe, Carbon Flash-painted mirrors, black-painted Z06 wheels, and a collection of aftermarket aero additions. The rear wing, front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear-window louvers give it an even more aggressive profile, while the Jet Black perforated Mulan leather interior and 2LZ Preferred Equipment Group keep the cabin from feeling stripped down or one-dimensional. It is the kind of Corvette that delivers the visual drama enthusiasts expect from a Z06 while still retaining enough comfort and convenience to make it more than just a weekend toy.
