Just imagine yourself in 1978, driving this Corvette on a coastal road. With a car like this, you were probably the most noticed person in traffic as the vehicle attracted just as many stares back then as it does today. This particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe belongs to the C3, or the third generation of the Corvette, which debuted in 1968. The C3 was also notable for being driven by the astronauts from Apollo 12. Now you can experience a glimpse of what they had with this alluring specimen that has only done 48,000 miles. To make sure you can enjoy the car without worries, a number of new upgrades have been installed as well.
A simple and elegant white exterior paint that is reported to be new veils this car and helps contrast every sharp edge and smooth curve on its body. If you look closely, you can notice the Chameleon-style color-changing flames design that dominates the front fascia and continues to the sides of the car. The pop-up headlights that house two lights on each side are concealed to maintain the car's slick appearance. The removable T-tops that appeared on Corvettes during the ‘60s are a noticeable feature in these cars. They are said to be original and have received new seals for better weatherproofing. This car rides on independent front suspension with coil springs and independent rear suspension with transverse leaf springs. It is equipped with 15” wheels that are clad in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Once you get inside, you immediately notice that this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a driver's machine. In front of the steering wheel are analog gauges, and you can find more on the center console. According to reports, this interior retains its original radio and has new carpeting from Eckler's Corvette and a new console.
Under the hood of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe rests a 350 cu in (5.7 L) L82 V8 that churns out 220 horsepower. It sends power via a 4-speed manual transmission and utilizes a newly installed battery. The much needed stopping power is courtesy of front & rear disc brakes.

Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
By 1979, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a household name. After an initially slow takeoff in its first years, the Corvette soon became known as a serious competitor to the perceived luxury offerings from Europe. The C3 Corvette continued this tradition, with the underpinnings carried over from the C2 but with an all-new body and interior. The design was heavily influenced by the Mako Shark 2, which had been well-received on the motor show circuit. By 1979, the C3 Corvette had already been in production for 11 years. But thanks to continued refreshing, the C3 Corvette still had much to offer. Our featured car includes the desirable T-Tops and a host of new parts.
The C7 or seventh generation Corvette is the last of the front-engined brigade of America’s most-loved sports car. When the C8 dropped in 2020, it shifted to a mid-engined layout and went chasing baby supercars. That means cars like this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ are highly desirable items, future classics, and the best way to enjoy American power and handling. Bearing a mere 39,000 miles, this car is now up for sale, and you’d better act quickly if it takes your fancy.

The Chevy Caprice is a full-size car from the famous Bowtie-logo'd automaker. The Caprice was made in North America between 1964 and 1996.

Available as a large four-door sedan as well as several other body styles, the Caprice represented a solid choice for families who wanted a spacious car that could easily travel across the country.

People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.

Every generation of Mustang is iconic, but the original is considered genesis. This is ground zero, where the entire pony car genre was born. The 1964½ Mustang, as it’s known, started production a few months before the normal 1965 model year. Although Ford officially referred to all these Mustangs as 1965 Model Year cars, there were subtle differences made to the design after August 1964. Our featured car is an early-model 1964½ and features a new paint job and a rebuilt engine. If you’re looking for the perfect entry into the world of classic Mustang ownership, this classic stallion is the perfect way to do so.
