Chevy's Corvette has lived for 70 years as of 2023. Along the way, it's picked up plenty of milestones, and this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary is a celebratory edition of when it hit the 25-year mark. In fact, Chevrolet decided to make the celebrations big, with the result that all 1978 model year Corvettes are considered Anniversary editions. Hence, they received special "Anniversary" badges and emblems to commemorate this momentous event in Corvette history. This particular car has a lovely color, excellent specification, and a decent 72,000 miles on the clock. If you're looking to buy your first classic Corvette or add to an already existing collection, it's the ideal candidate.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe L82 has a prominent red paint coat that makes it stand out better. Of course, the muscular and curvy design of the C3 alone is enough eye candy, but couple it with the red paintwork, T-tops, five-spoke wheels, and chunky tall-profile tires, and you've got yourself a real looker. The pop-up headlamps themselves are a style statement, with each cluster sporting twin circular lamps that function as per our photos. Now, it's time to head inside, and to do that, just open a frameless door and get in. The black interior of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe L82 is a typical two-seat affair, as Corvettes tend to be. It's plush, welcoming, and supportive in all the right places. The current owner reports a new Pioneer radio cassette audio player. There's a tilt and telescoping steering column and air conditioning too. The current owner reports the air conditioning unit to be intact but not working, so some attention is required to get it back to working order.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe packs a 350ci (5.7L) L82 V8 under its hood, which was rated for 220hp at the time. This is pretty decent, given that the Malaise Era was still in force, and most V8s were putting out less than 200hp. Power goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, making this car a driver's delight, particularly when the zero to sixty was timed at around 6.6 seconds in 1978 by Road and Track Magazine. The current owner tells us that this 'Vette has received a new radiator, alternator, battery, clutch, gearbox, and fluids, including a recent oil change. Furthermore, it's got the Gymkhana specification suspension, which brings stiffer springs and a stiffer front stabilizer bar.
Now in its third generation, the 1980 Chevrolet Corvette (or C3) was coming to the end of its life. But this typically American creation still had a lot to offer, with the solid underpinnings of the C3 ’Vette and the gorgeous Mako Shark II-inspired bodywork. Launched in 1968, it was still known as a serious alternative to the best that Europe had to offer. Our featured car includes a 350ci L48 V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and features several upgrades to improve not only reliability but performance as well.
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.
Now in its fifth generation, the C5 Chevrolet Corvette had already firmly cemented its claim to fame — here was a top-flight sportscar that could go toe-to-toe with the best from Europe and even show a clean pair of heels to several supercars along the way. Our featured car is a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, and it perfectly encapsulates that era of performance and style. The owner reports that the car benefits from recent maintenance to ensure it’s ready for its next owner. With a 350ci LS1 V8 under the hood, a smooth automatic transmission, and a host of driver-focused features, this Corvette with 63,300 miles on the clock is a compelling choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Ford has the Mustang, and Chevrolet had the Camaro. Back in the ’60s, it was a winning duo for consumers, with the two frontrunners in the pony car race battling on both backroads and race tracks. Our featured 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a fine specimen just waiting to go to a new home. It features a striking blue exterior, a well-kept black interior, and a 383ci stroker V8 under the hood. This immaculate classic has reportedly been subject to a recent motor and transmission install, which means it should offer a trouble-free ownership experience to whoever is lucky enough to take possession next.

The first generation Ford Mustang was made from 1964 (known as 1964½, until 1973. Over 1.2 million units were made, so getting your hands on one isn’t as hard as you might think. However, finding an immaculately restored example is much harder. Thankfully, we’ve got a 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible Restoration for sale. This 66,161-mile car has been given a thorough do-over by Fantomworks as reported by the current owner. Now, the car sits peacefully in Leesville, South Carolina, waiting for its new owner to pick it up and cherish it.
