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.
In 2005, Chevrolet revealed the all-new C6 or sixth generation Corvette. It did away with pop-up headlamps due to tightening safety regulations, but improved upon the C5 in nearly every other way. Whether it be power, performance or luxury features, the C6 represented a healthy upgrade over the C5. That’s why even today, C6 Corvettes like this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe are considered to be a great way to sample America’s greatest home-grown sports car marque. This particular car has just 14,732 miles on the clock and comes from Colorado. It’s got the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group, the Magnetic Selective Ride Control adaptive suspension system and a lovely 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood.
The last year of C7 or seventh generation Corvette production was 2019, before the all-new C8 came with its mid-engined layout and new styling. So, if you really want to celebrate the last of the front-engined Corvettes, we have a glorious swansong up for grabs in St. Simons Island, Georgia. With a mere 1,044 miles to its name, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Hennessey HPE850 is a snarling 850-horsepower beast that enjoys the Hennessey Performance HPE850 package for its 6.2-liter supercharged V8. That’s not all, the car also comes with staggered Vicari alloy wheels and an XIK/ITC widebody conversion.
Today’s 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z16 Grand Sport 3LT is quite a quick beast indeed. Hailing from the sixth or C6 era of America’s favorite sports car, it’s got a snarling 6.2-liter V8 under the hood, the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group, a removable roof package, and more. Plus, with under 69,000 miles on the clock, this Sierra Vista-based car is a fine upgrade for someone who seeks a sports car that can give them a good time during every drive. It’s even got a dual-mode performance exhaust to further add to the sense of theatre that Corvettes are known for.

One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The last ever Camaros will be the 2024 editions. That’s because after six generations, Chevy has put its pony car out to pasture. So instead of shedding tears, why not celebrate the legacy by purchasing this Vegas-based 2024 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Collector’s Edition? With a mere 6,594 miles on the clock, it’s pretty much brand new, and from the special Camaro Collector’s Edition line-up. It’s got a 6.2-liter V8 under the hood, hooked up to a 6-speed manual transmission and of course, rear-wheel drive. Plus, this car also has the Adrenalin Red Interior Package, the Battery Protection Package, and more.
