We’ve shifted so many Corvettes, we could possibly write a history book on America’s sweetheart sports car that’s been wowing enthusiastic petrolheads since 1953. Every generation brought something distinctive along, and has its own dedicated following. The third generation C3 had a relatively long production run from 1968 to 1982, and saw over 542,000 units shifted throughout its life. If a third-gen ‘Vette is your poison, here’s a nice 1977 Chevrolet Corvette from Illinois with just 27,600 miles on it as a sweet deal. This single-owner car was reportedly used mainly as a show car, and has been kept original and pristine, with the owner enthusiastically stating, “even the jack is polished”. Interested? Read on…
This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette’s design was inspired by the ‘Mako Shark’ concept car, the work of Larry Shinoda. Bill Mitchell was the chief stylist, and the result is this taut and muscular shape that this particular car shows off nicely with its Light Blue Metallic paintwork, augmented by the aluminum wheels wearing chunky Firestone S/S Radial tires that reportedly have less than 10,000 miles on them. Tinted windows add a dash of privacy as well as some relief from the sun on hot days. Cracking rubber trim lines have reportedly been replaced too. Furthermore, this car sports the desirable T-Top configuration with brackets on the luggage rack for the twin T-Tops, as well as a blue car cover. The interior is blue, with two blue cloth seats and original instrumentation. Even the original AM/FM stereo radio sits proudly in the center console. Sport mirrors and a tilt-and-telescopic steering column are present, as is cruise control. Seat covers are included, as well as two sets of floor mats, one for usage and one for show. Two ash trays are included as well, as the original is said to have started corroding.
This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette comes with its original 350ci L48 V8 motor coupled to an manual transmission, and putting out around 180hp thanks to the Seventies emissions regulations. There’s no catalytic converter, and a glasspack muffler is present. It’s also reported to have received rebuilt brakes and changed fluids. A heavy-duty battery has been installed for better electrical performance.

Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.
A third generation Chevy Corvette is an interesting classic car to own and drive. You see, introduced in 1968, it came modeled straight after a concept car and looked out of this world. Then, the Malaise Era hit in the Seventies and took down any American car with it in terms of power and performance. Despite this horrific environment, the Corvette managed to remain the fastest car in America, proudly carrying the torch of being the best home-grown performance car out there, and keeping the spirit of driving alive. Today’s 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is a fine testament to the heavy burden that the Corvette bore during those times. It’s got just under 45,000 miles on the clock and currently resides in Milford, Pennsylvania.
Chevy’s Corvette is a car that many aspire to own and drive at some point in their life. Few cars in the world, let alone America, have reached such legendary status. Few cars in the world continue for over seventy years after their introduction. The Corvette is thus one of a handful of all-time automotive greats. Made across eight generations, it’s weathered tough times and emerged victorious. Even during the dreaded Malaise Era, the Corvette was the fastest American car available at the time. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from far happier times, specifically the C6 or sixth generation of 2005-2013. The C6 saw a shift towards tauter styling, improved handling and of course, more power. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is thus a fine example of a C6 as it bears only under 23,000 miles on its odometer. Coming with the Memory Package, Preferred Equipment Group and so much more, this Wisconsin-based Vette could be yours for the taking – if you act with speed.
Are you someone who is ready to dip their toes into the classic car world, or a Chevrolet enthusiast who is missing a lovely Chevelle in their collection? Whichever you are, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is a perfect pick for you. The Chevelle only saw three generations; however, it was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Most enthusiasts believe that the second generation was the peak of this desirable classic. Lucky for you, our subject car belongs to the second generation as well, and these are known to be reliable classic cars. It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.
Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.
