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.

The C8 Corvette has graduated to become a proper supercar-killing mid-engine monster. But for many, the C7 Corvette is an icon in its own right. It likely is the last front-engine ’Vette, a formula that lasted seven generations. And in ZR1 guise, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3ZR is every bit as formidable a package, ready to dominate the street and the track. Our featured car is reportedly a low-mileage example, with just 2,290 miles on the odometer. It’s also equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group and a host of performance-focused upgrades, making this a rare opportunity to own one of the most powerful Corvettes ever built.
The sixth generation or C6 Corvette arrived for the 2005 model year, and while it dropped the pop-up headlamps of the fifth generation or C5, it more than compensated for them in other areas. The Corvette gained more power, performance, and luxury features. Plus, the Z06 variant came with the largest small block V8 engine ever produced at the time: a mega 7.0-liter beast. If that’s your sort of thrill, check out this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that’s for sale with us right now. This Idaho-based car is reportedly up-to-date on servicing and comes with the Preferred Equipment Group. But what’s more amazing is it packs an STS twin-turbo system, making the car even more exciting to drive.
American automakers have mastered the art of going fast in a straight line. Cars with their big V8s and loud exhausts that were unrivaled on the drag strip. Nowadays, they’ve had a go at tackling corners and they’ve done a damn good job, especially with cars like this 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 with under 5,000 miles on the clock. This car isn’t built just for the drag strip; it’s built for the track too, and that’s not something we’ve been able to say about American cars of the past.

The Chevrolet Bel Air remains one of the most iconic nameplates in American automotive history. By 1955, it had cemented itself as the go-to choice for those who wanted a stylish, capable, and performance-oriented full-size coupe. This particular 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Hardtop builds upon that legacy, blending classic styling with modern performance enhancements. With a potent 355ci V8 under the hood, a four-speed manual transmission, and a host of tasteful modifications, this Bel Air is ready to turn heads and put down some serious power.

This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is a fully restored classic muscle car featuring a modified 350ci engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission.

The current owner also states that the vehicle retains its original 85,000-mile engine while benefiting from new carburetor components, a fresh oil change, and new tires.

The Chevy 210 had a relatively short life, made between 1953 and 1957 before being superseded by the Biscayne. The 210 represented Chevy’s midrange offering, and was offered in various body styles. Buyers could select between sedans, hardtops, coupes, convertibles and wagons. Despite the short production run, Chevy actually made two generations of 210. This particular 1955 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is a second-generation two-door coupe that’s received a thorough makeover. Residing in Orlando, Florida, it’s the perfect classic car with some modern features for someone who isn’t quite ready to go full classic just yet.
