The Corvette is an iconic piece of American automobile history; it's one of the cars that brought sports car performance to true-blooded American automotive history as 'America's Sports Car.' With this 1978 Corvette model, the historical value continues, with the Corvette receiving the opportunity to represent the nation's automotive spirit as the official pace car of the Indy 500 in 1978. Although Chevrolet wanted to significantly limit the number of pace cars produced, the demand for these vehicles was so astronomical that they had to give in, producing just over 6,500 of these for the people. With its distinctive silver and black appearance, anyone who knows will immediately recognize this Corvette, and now, with only 16,200 miles reported on the clock, the opportunity is open for all to welcome this beauty into their garage.
With the black and silver markings, it only takes one glance to recognize that this Corvette is special, a cut above the rest of the others that were produced the same year. The signature checkered flag and Corvette branding on the front and back are distinctly present, and with the flared body and Goodyear GT Radials, this Corvette is stunning to look at while on the road or simply parked on the side. It is reported that the original wheels are included with the sale, too. Stepping inside, you'll find yourself in a comfortable interior space. The silver interior is distinct and gives an air of class. Despite being a car from the late '70s, its interior comes with the usual comforts expected from its time and retains its classic appearance and aesthetic.
To pace a special race as the Indy 500 requires more than the usual amount of power necessary, and this Corvette delivers without hesitation thanks to its massive 350ci V8 L82 engine. Each blip of the throttle sets this massive American V8 roaring its way to the redline. It is paired with a four-speed manual transmission that puts power to the rear wheels. You can rest assured that this working piece of automotive heritage still delivers on its promise and will do for many more years.
The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 1,600 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
It’s hard to believe that it's been four years since Chevrolet first revealed to the world the all-new 8th generation mid-engine Corvette. At that time, Chevy did a phenomenal job completely changing the perception of the Corvette, especially with its exotic car looks and mid-engine design. It not only has exotic sports car performance but also is easy to live with on a daily basis. Compared to its competitors, it has an affordable price tag, which brings exotic-level performance within reach to a broader audience. The C8 is offered as both a convertible and a coupe, and what we are showing in this listing is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Premium 3LT Coupe. It only has 7,500 miles on its odometer and is available for sale in Florida.

The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.

Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
