The C3 featured here is from the third generation of Chevrolet’s halo car, the Corvette. As the most recognized American sports car in the world, designing a new Corvette was no light matter, it was something the automotive universe waited for, and Chevy didn’t disappoint. In 1968 the third gen Corvette was released, and although it carried the same engine and chassis as its older brother, the C3’s design was brand new, and it was wicked. With what the seller claims to be around a $20k investment, this 1977 Chevrolet Corvette has been brought back to prime condition, and is currently up for sale.
The design choice for the C3 dates back to 1965 when Larry Shinoda designed the Mako Shark II concept car. Finally, under Harry Haga’s supervision, a design inspired by the Shark II was fitted on to the chassis of the C2, and the third gen Corvette was born. This specific 1977 Chevrolet Corvette wears a brilliant white exterior paint throughout its almost seamless body. The car has a luggage rack fitted at the back and color matching T-tops that the seller reports have no rust. It’s also been fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust. For those worried about the C3’s iconic popup headlights, they are reported to be working just fine as well. As for the cockpit, this 1977 Chevrolet Corvette invites you into a buckskin interior with black and chrome accents. Being a sports car, the seating position of this car is quite low to the ground, giving the driver a sense of more stability on the track. That is, if you ever decide to take it to one. While the tan leather interior looks to be in sublime condition. While the C3 does have some creature comforts like a Sony stereo system and air conditioning, the current owner stated that the A/C fitted on the car does not work.
The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette retained the same front mid-engine layout as the previous generation. This meant that the weight of the car sat almost dead center, making it a steady and predictable handler. Power was drawn from a 350ci (5.7L) small block engine that produced 210hp to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.

Chevy’s second generation or C2 Corvette is one of the shortest in the Corvette’s story. It saw just five production years, namely 1963 to 1967. Yet, the C2 is recognized as a defining moment in the Corvette’s journey, bringing features that endured for generations. It marked when the Corvette would forever be a V8-powered machine, and only have V8s under the hood. It brought pop-up headlamps to the party for four decades thereafter. Most alluringly, it created an achingly beautiful shape that modern Corvettes haven’t quite been able to pull off – they’ve all tended towards muscular and angular – or a combination of the two. Today’s 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a fine restomod that’s truly a one-of-a-kind machine. Sitting on a SRIII Motorsports Round Tube Chassis, this ‘Vette enjoys a 480-horsepower GM LS3 V8 with fuel injection, a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and so many other neat things. The current owner says that just 800 miles have passed since the build of this car was completed.
Chevy’s C3 or third generation Corvette was around from 1968 right up until 1982. It weathered the Malaise Era with poise, remaining one of the fastest American cars during those dark times. Chevy kept updating and improving the C3 throughout its lifetime, too. This meant that even later-model C3s had plenty to offer. Take this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe as a prime example. It’s painted in lustrous Coca Cola red and packs the requisite 350ci V8 under the hood. Plus, it’s got under 10,000 miles and resides in Brownsville, Kentucky. Talk to us if you’d like to make it your own – because a C3 Corvette in good condition is a fine way to enter the world of classic American cars.
Chevy’s C8 or eighth-generation Corvette debuted in 2020 with a new mid-engined design, supercar-inspired looks and a new level of performance, overall. The new LT2 small-block V8 makes 490hp and 465lb-ft in stock form, which is a mild increase over the C7 on paper, but translates to vastly improved acceleration and drivability as a result of tuning and the new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox which the C8 comes with. But what if you want to make that naturally aspirated unit into a forced induction beast? Well, you get something like this 570-horsepower 2022 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT. Tuned by Elited South Tuning and fitted with a Huron twin-turbo kit, this rear-wheel drive beast could be yours. It’s up for grabs in Greer, South Carolina with under 5,000 miles on the clock. The original window sticker, two keys and owner’s manual are included with the sale as well.
In the Seventies, trucks like this 1971 Chevrolet C10 plied back and forth across America’s roads, carrying cargo and supplies for countless small businesses and entrepreneurs. Essentially, these trucks were a significant part of the backbone of American commerce, in urban as well as rural areas. They were built tough and utilitarian, but had reasonable comfort to allow their owners to carry their families within the passenger cab as and when needed. This particular truck comes from the second generation of the C/K Series which ran between 1967 and 1972. IT’s got just 1,237 miles on it after some refreshment work, and is available in Spring, Texas. That makes it a fine classic truck to own and drive if you’re inclined towards such vehicles.
