Chevrolet’s Corvette is definitely one of America’s automotive sweethearts. Children aspire to own them when they can buy their own car and adults who have dreamt of owning one work hard towards achieving their goal. What’s even more special is a Corvette that’s been in the same family for 25 years, as with this 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 350ci Manual from Georgia which has got a decent 78,178 miles on the clock. It’s a show car too, as the seller reports that it’s always been shown at Carlisle car shows, and used to be a part of the Corvette Club in Rochester New York. Reportedly to be mostly original, it’s an appealing proposition for those wishing to fulfill their Corvette dreams.
Exterior and Interior
This 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 350ci Manual is from the third generation which ran between 1968 and 1982. The third generation saw quite a bit of muscular styling, as it was designed based on a concept by Larry Shinoda called the Mako Shark. This example shows off that muscular styling with its red paintwork that’s been reportedly lightly touched up about 20 years ago. It’s got the requisite ‘Corvette’, ‘Stingray’ and ‘L48’ badging, and rolls on silver rims wrapped in period-correct tall profile tires. It’s also got those oh-so-desirable pop-up headlamps. Open the frameless door and step aboard into the tan interior which offers seating for two occupants. It’s got wood accents and a white cueball-tipped shifter for the manual transmission. It’s also reported to have factory AC installed, and sports a modern Kenwood AM/FM/CD head unit for your tunes.
Engine
You could have your third-generation Corvette with over fifteen engine options over its lifestyle, but they were all V8s – nothing less would do for Chevrolet’s flagship sports car after all. This 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 350ci Manual packs a 350ci (5.7L) V8 that sends around 180hp to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The seller reports that the engine was chromed as his father used to show the car off at local shows. Power brakes with disc brakes up front and power steering are present as well. The seller notes that the engine and transmission have never been rebuilt.
The C3 Corvette is one of the most recognizable shapes in American performance history, and the later L82 cars added a stronger performance edge to the dramatic “shark” styling. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Coupe shows just 11,856 miles and is finished in Black over a reupholstered Red leather interior. Its enthusiast appeal comes from the 350ci L82 V8, 4-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, full auxiliary gauge package, and classic rear-wheel-drive layout. With its low indicated mileage, manual gearbox, and reupholstered cabin, this Corvette offers the kind of analog V8 driving experience that defines the C3 generation.
The C5-generation Corvette remains one of the most accessible ways to experience classic American V8 performance in a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car. This 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows 58,755 miles and is finished in Torch Red over a Black interior. Its configuration is especially appealing from an enthusiast standpoint, with Continuously Electronic Variable Real-Time Damping, the Active Handling System, and a Head-Up Display among its standout options. Adjustable sport bucket seats, a 3.15 performance axle ratio, a Bose audio system, and the open-air convertible body style round out a package that blends performance, usability, and unmistakable Corvette character.
The C5 Corvette is one of those cars that has only become easier to appreciate with time. It combines classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Corvette proportions with LS-series V8 power, a low curb weight, and a chassis that still feels purpose-built rather than luxury-oriented. This 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe shows 124,410 miles and is finished in iconic Torch Red over a Black interior. More importantly for an enthusiast, this example is equipped with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the Preferred Equipment Group 1SB, staggered high-polished wheels, and the desirable dual-roof setup with both body-color and translucent removable panels. It is a properly optioned C5 that delivers the combination of V8 character, open-air flexibility, and driver-focused equipment that made this generation such a strong performance value.

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of a first-generation Camaro and pushes it deep into pro-touring territory with big-block power, a modernized chassis, and a highly customized presentation. Showing just 2,637 miles, this build combines a 502ci V8 roller motor, Richmond 6-speed manual transmission, full frame, four-link coilover suspension, narrowed 9-inch rear end, mini-tubbed rear, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Just as striking as the hardware is the custom paintwork, which pairs a vivid orange body with a black upper section and flowing flame graphics along the rear quarters. It is a bold, enthusiast-focused build that blends classic Camaro proportions with modern performance and show-car detailing.
The fourth-generation Camaro Z28 represents a distinctly ’90s take on the classic muscle-car formula, combining a low-slung F-body shape with LT1 V8 power and rear-wheel drive. This 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible shows 46,678 miles and is finished in Sebring Silver Metallic over a Black interior with a Black convertible soft top. Its enthusiast appeal comes from the Z28 Performance Package, 5.7-liter LT1 V8, 16-inch “Salad Shooter” wheels, and open-air convertible configuration, while an aftermarket cowl induction hood, aftermarket rear spoiler, and American flag hood graphic give this example a more personalized appearance.
