Ever since the internal combustion came to being and people could move about it didn’t take long for people to have the need to go faster. Over the years as cars became more common, it was becoming difficult to find one that ticked all the boxes at a wallet-friendly price, until Chevrolet introduced the Corvette back in 1953. The recipe was simple. Drop dead sexy looks and a price tag that was affordable, with its high sales figures over the years the Corvette has gone on to be an affordable classic which is steadily rising in value regardless of generation. It’s considered right up there with the American automobile greats. The C3 generation that ran between 1968 and 1982 retained the Stingray nameplate till 1976, as well as a few design cues from the C2 that preceded it. Customers could choose a convertible or coupe, and we have a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 540ci from Florida with just 87,000 miles on the clock. It’s had a heart transplant too, in the shape of a 540ci big-block V8 engine that’s sure to put a wide grin on your face!
Exterior and Interior
The C3 Corvette saw a new design that carried over a few cues from the C2, but also brought some macho muscular cues such as the front and rear wheel arches, with a shark-like profile. Inspired by the ‘Mako Shark’ concept created by Larry Shinoda, the C3 also retained the iconic pop-up headlamps that would become a mainstay of the Corvette until it was killed off with the C6 generation. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 540ci has a unique and flashy Rally Red exterior and rolls on a set of shiny chromed wheels with BFGoodrich tall-profile rubber all-round. The interior is done up in black and is reported to be mostly new. The original gauges are present and correct and are reported to be functional, except for the clock. You can also find a retro-modern style Corvette-branded radio cassette with digital display and radio presets.
Engine
This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 540ci started life as a 427ci car with 390hp and a four-speed manual, but as the title suggests, it’s had an engine transplant and is packing a Shafiroff 540ci (8.85L) big-block V8 with a Dart-M block. This engine is reported to put out 625hp at 5,800rpm and 640lb.ft at 4,000rpm on pump gas by the manufacturer. The power goes to the rear wheels via a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission with removable crossmember. A custom 3-inch exhaust allows the engine’s thunderous personality to echo all over the place, and an Aeromotive fuel tank and electric fuel pump are present to ensure that no fueling hiccups occur. Spark comes courtesy of a complete MSD ignition set. The mechanical, electrical, fuel, suspension and power brake systems are reported to be all-new, and work was performed by Kent Eismann of Eismann Corvette Center, with only about 100 miles gone by since then. There is new power steering and power disc brakes on all corners to ensure proper control and stopping power.
The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette marked the beginning of the third-generation Corvette, introducing the dramatic bodywork that would define the model for years to come. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible captures that early C3 character with its Rally Red finish, open-top configuration, and classic 327ci V8 power. Showing approximately 42,647 miles, it is equipped with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and comes with both a black convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hardtop. Period-inspired details such as a wood-rim steering wheel sit alongside American Racing chrome wheels and select aftermarket components, giving this Corvette a distinctive enthusiast-oriented presentation.
Mid-engine proportions, open-air capability, and serious performance hardware give this 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT the presence of something far more exotic than a traditional American sports car. Showing approximately 6,003 miles, this Rapid Blue example is equipped with the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift system, Competition Sport Bucket Seats, and a performance exhaust, creating a particularly well-optioned C8. Sterling Silver dual racing stripes, matching fender hash stripes, Carbon Flash Metallic accents, and bright red brake calipers further sharpen the visual impact, while the 3LT trim brings the cabin up to the Corvette’s highest luxury specification for the model year.

The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.
This 1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has the look of a proper custom street truck and the hardware to make good on it. Showing just 475 miles, it packs a 6.2L LS3 V8, electronic fuel injection, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic, and a Ford 9-inch rear end into one seriously reworked classic Chevy platform. A custom frame, aftermarket suspension setup, and 4-wheel disc brakes give the truck a far more modern foundation underneath, while the black paint and copper-finished wheels bring the kind of stance and attitude that make a build like this hard to ignore. It is the sort of C10 that appeals as much to the person who wants to inspect every detail at a show as it does to someone who simply wants to fire up an LS-powered classic and enjoy the drive.
