1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Current Ask
$57,500

The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible sits at the heart of the early C3 era, pairing dramatic styling with the kind of mechanical specification that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 5,672 miles, this example is finished in Monza Red over a Black interior and is equipped with the desirable L46 350ci V8 rated at 350 horsepower. A 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle keep the driving experience firmly enthusiast-focused, while power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes add useful road manners. Chrome Rally wheels, a black convertible soft top, and the unmistakable Stingray bodywork give the exterior its period-correct presence, while the cabin retains the classic twin-cowl dash, center console, and auxiliary gauge layout. An aftermarket steering wheel, manual shifter, air cleaner, and JVC audio head unit add a handful of personalized touches without taking away from the car’s classic Corvette character.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.

$73,000

This 1972 Plymouth ’Cuda is a strong example of how the E-body platform can blend original pedigree with period-style muscle-car upgrades. Showing approximately 34,348 miles, this example is finished in Hugger Orange over a Black interior and carries the aggressive visual cues expected from a ’Cuda, including black side graphics, dual hood scoops, chrome bumpers, and Magnum 500-style wheels. The current owner reports that the car was originally equipped with a 340ci V8, while it is now powered by a larger 440ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic. Performance-oriented upgrades include a 4-barrel carburetor, aftermarket aluminum intake manifold, MSD Digital 6AL ignition, aftermarket exhaust headers, and a dual exhaust system, giving this ’Cuda a considerably more muscular character than its original configuration.
