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.
Everyone wants a C8 Corvette. That’s because for the Corvette’s eighth generation, GM stunned Americans when they moved the engine from ahead of, to behind the passenger cell. That, paired with supercar-inspired looks and more performance capability, means that the C8 is a performance bargain for keen drivers. The C8 is also the first Corvette to be officially made in right-hand drive, and sold outside the United States, namely in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the United Kingdom. If you’re one of those C8 fans, we’ve got a car for you. Check out this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT Z51 from Virginia that’s done just 7,523 miles so far. The car also comes with the Z51 Performance Package, which dials things up even more.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3? This reportedly climate controlled garage kept 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Davie, Florida looks like an appealing buy. The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.
Blending classic American muscle with unmistakable Corvette styling, this fully restored 1971 Chevrolet Corvette offers both power and timeless appeal. Finished in vibrant Red paint with a freshly refurbished Black interior, this example located in Chesapeake, Virginia, delivers authentic driving excitement, thanks to its rebuilt 396ci V8 and engaging manual transmission. With just 1,000 miles on the rebuilt engine, this Corvette stands ready for the road or your next car show.
The Sixties and Seventies were a wonderful time to be of driving (or rather car purchasing) age. The Big Three, namely General Motors, Chrysler Corporation and Ford were fiercely competing for a slice of your income, by offering potent machines with amazing street performance, grunty V8s and a decent amount of family friendliness thrown in. Many of these machines competed in the full-size segment, as many buyers simply wanted a big car. One of the icons of that period was the Chevy Chevelle. A full-size contender, it was made between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. Today, getting your hands on a Chevelle is a dream for many because it’s a well-aged classic car that can, especially in potent SS form, still scare some modern metal. That’s why we’re glad to offer this Georgia-based 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu for sale to one lucky person. It’s a powerful symbol of a freer time when horsepower dominated everything else, and cars were really fun to drive. You didn’t have a myriad of electronic nannies; control was purely in your hands.
Being one of Chevrolet's most popular nameplates brings prominence to the original Chevelle. It was offered in coupes, sedans, convertibles, and station wagons. The Chevelle has some racing history under its belt as well. Its body style was used to win 34 races and win the first two of three consecutive Grand National championships. In 1966, two years after the introduction, the Chevelle was redesigned to reflect the "Coke bottle" body shape. This well-kept example of the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle flaunts this body style beautifully. We were told that this car features a few new details and components, including the engine and transmission. With only 3,256 miles done after the rebuild, this Chevelle is ready to be picked up from Topeka, Kansas.

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.
