Chevrolet’s Chevelle nameplate came to be in 1963, as the brand’s new mid-sizer. The name meaning ‘Bold and Beautiful’, was built on the automaker’s new A-platform, and was the riposte to Ford’s Fairlane. With a production run of three generations over fourteen years, the Chevelle was a mainstay in Chevy’s Sixties and Seventies line-ups, and gained extensive exposure in NASCAR between 1973 and 1977. If you’re after a Chevelle with a twist, here’s a nicely resto-modded 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle LT1 which reportedly saw a refresh around eight years ago.
This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle LT1 is from the second generation which saw no less than eight body styles, including hardtops, coupes, convertibles, sedans, and station wagons. Sporting the hardtop body style and wearing a lustrous Metallic Dark Red paintjob, the car looks sublime with its 15-inch rally-style wheels, SS badging and dual exhausts. Lighting and chrome detailing all appear to be in great condition, and this really is a turn-key classic that doesn’t seem to need much, if any work done to it post-purchase. Venture aboard and the black interior is in good form as well. You’ve got low-back seating for four occupants of which the front are bucket seats, and a three-spoked sporty steering wheel with the Chevrolet emblem, and the red, white, and blue colors of the automaker on the center cap. Ahead of the steering wheel lies a set of white-faced Dakota Digital gauges that seamlessly sit within the original gauge pods. There’s also air conditioning which is welcome since summer is coming along, and a retro-styled Chevrolet-branded push button radio. Wind up windows complete the period-correct outlook. The trunk upholstery appears to be in decent condition as well.
The second generation of Chevelle could be had with ten powerplant options during its heyday, ranging from a 230ci Turbo-Thrift in-line six, all the way to a 454ci Big-Block V8 bad boy. However, this 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle LT1 has seen an upgrade under the hood in the shape of a more modern Chevrolet LT1 350ci V8. Produced in the 1990s, this engine found its way under the hood of the contemporary C4 Corvette and Camaro Z/28 at the time. Outputs were rated at 300hp and 340lb-ft. Installed in this car, the engine sends drive to the rear wheels via a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission and 10-bolt rear end. Power steering has been installed, as has disc brakes on all four wheels with Hydroboost for enhanced steering and braking abilities.
The Chevrolet Chevelle SS is one of those muscle cars that can literally put hairs on your chest. It’s a special car in any form — be that a painstakingly original example, a meticulously restored car, or something like our featured build: an all-out exercise made to fulfill the dreams of restomod fans around the country. Our featured 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS Convertible doesn’t just look the part. It features a 6.2L supercharged V8 LS3 crate motor that reportedly puts out 590 hp with a few choice modifications. Evidently, this car isn’t for the faint-hearted. But it’s also an exercise in getting everything right, as you’ll see as you read on.
As auto buyers started to look away from large, full-sized cars, Chevy started to increase their midsize offerings. One of these was the Chevelle, which debuted for the 1963 model year. The Chevelle was intended to compete against the Ford Fairlane which came out a year earlier. To ensure that Chevy recaptured the midsize market, the company offered the Chevelle in many body styles. These included a two-door hardtop, coupe, convertible, station wagon or sedan, a four-door sedan, hardtop or station wagon, and even the famous coupe utility, or ute. The top trim of the Chevelle was known as the Malibu. That makes this 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Malibu one of the most upscale variants of the series, and this 75,444-mile two-door coupe is up for grabs right now. What’s even more appealing to collectors is that it’s got a host of original parts and elements.
Chevy’s Chevelle was made for three generations from 1964 through 1977. Yet, you’d swear that the Chevelle lived longer. That’s how strong the brand recognition with this nameplate is. To this day, Chevelles are sought after by eager enthusiasts, some of whom weren’t even born when the last ones left the GM production lines. The Chevelle also gave rise to the Malibu nameplate, since Malibu was initially a trim level of the Chevelle. That’s what we’ve got for sale here today, a second-generation 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu with 60,000 miles on the clock. It’s a lovely coupe in great order, and it’s reportedly been serviced recently.
Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
The fifth generation Corvette was revealed in 1997, and would run until 2005. It is the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps, which were discontinued with 2005’s C6 due to inability to meet newer crash regulations. That’s why C5 Corvettes command a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. That, plus the fact that the C5 has some neat engineering. For example, the transmission is at the rear of the car, coupled to the front-mounted engine via a torque tube that turns at engine speed. This arrangement enables the C5 to achieve the magic 50-50 front-rear weight distribution, vastly improving its handling over the C4. This, plus myriad other upgrades, makes the C5 a definitive future classic, as well as a sports car that you can still enjoy in 2024. So why not jump on the bandwagon of fun and buy this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? This car comes with recent servicing, two keys, and 56,067 miles on the odometer.
