By 1968, the Corvette had run for two generations and the third generation made its appearance. Sadly, most of the third generation, which spanned 1968 to 1980 would see the worst of the Malaise Era and emissions controls. Power outputs would be severely constricted as a result. This is why pre-1973 cars such as this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray are comparatively desirable to their younger brethren. This particular example has done a light for its age 79,899 miles and appears to be a well-kept example.
The third generation Corvette would see a radical new styling direction by Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus-Duntov. Modeled after a concept car by Larry Shinoda called the Mako Shark, the bulbous fenders, and muscular outlook would set it apart from the second, as well as fourth generations. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray comes with a dark blue paintjob and polished silver rims that play host to suitably meaty BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The pop-up headlamps on the C3 are present and correct, and take a moment to note the semi-podded appearance of the double headlamps, as well as the fact that they can be partially viewed through the grille when lowered. Further details include the white detailing on the inner parts of the side vents, the iconic Chevrolet logo, and the Stingray badging, which on the third generation onwards, became one word rather than two. The black two-seat interior of this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray appears in similarly good condition, and appears as period correct as possible. Purists will note the push-button radio, original gauges, and the little indicators in the cabin that alert the driver if a tail lamp or license plate lamp is out. The center console hosts a plaque with the engine power and torque figures, as well as switches for the power windows.
As the plaque on the center console informs us, this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray packs a 350ci V8 that was factory rated for 350hp and 380lb-ft, with a 11:1 compression ratio. This is one of the major reasons why early third-gen ‘Vettes are so desirable, as by 1975, the 350ci was strangled to its lowest output of just 165hp! A Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic gearbox handles power transfer to the rear wheels.
The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 1,600 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
It’s hard to believe that it's been four years since Chevrolet first revealed to the world the all-new 8th generation mid-engine Corvette. At that time, Chevy did a phenomenal job completely changing the perception of the Corvette, especially with its exotic car looks and mid-engine design. It not only has exotic sports car performance but also is easy to live with on a daily basis. Compared to its competitors, it has an affordable price tag, which brings exotic-level performance within reach to a broader audience. The C8 is offered as both a convertible and a coupe, and what we are showing in this listing is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Premium 3LT Coupe. It only has 7,500 miles on its odometer and is available for sale in Florida.

The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
