It’s 1978 and you are with your Pops on the bleachers watching the 62nd Indy 500. You watch as one of your dream cars, the Chevrolet Corvette C3 leads the way as a pace car, with its black and silver color scheme. Shortly you watch as the legendary Al Unser cross the checkered flag to his third Indy victory. A 1978 Chevrolet Corvette C3 is what lead the way, and to distinguish it from the rest of the Corvettes, the VIN had the number “9” as the eighth digit. In our catalogue we have such a car, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette pace car reported to be all original and with just 11,000 original miles on the clock, and available in Florida!
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car is bedecked in the official 62nd Indy 500 pace car colors, black over silver metallic and features a bright red pinstripe between the two-tone paint along with the front and rear spoilers. It sits on a set of deep-dish alloy wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich tires for that extra grip. The interior is furnished in a matching silver and gray color scheme, along with the specially designed seats and the 3-spoke tilt steering wheel. The speedometer and tachometer proudly peer out from behind the steering wheel. The center console features a cluster of 5 dials with the original AM/FM radio and of course the A/C controls. Just below the gear lever, a special plaque with the “25th ANNIVERSARY Corvette LIMITED EDITION” etched on it. Power windows, rear window defogger, sports mirrors, and power lock doors are standard on this special edition car. Full leather adorns the seats along with gray carpeting with the Corvette logo. A glass T-top and bag come with the car.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car comes equipped with the 350 ci (5.7L) small-block V8. Whilst mated to a 4-speed manual transmission which transferred to the rear wheels, this Corvette was endowed with 185hp of power thanks in part to Rochester four-barrel Quadrajet carburetors. Stopping power is courtesy of all wheel disk brakes. 0-60 mph was clocked in at 6.6 seconds with a top speed of 127 mph.
Chevy’s second generation or C2 Corvette is one of the shortest in the Corvette’s story. It saw just five production years, namely 1963 to 1967. Yet, the C2 is recognized as a defining moment in the Corvette’s journey, bringing features that endured for generations. It marked when the Corvette would forever be a V8-powered machine, and only have V8s under the hood. It brought pop-up headlamps to the party for four decades thereafter. Most alluringly, it created an achingly beautiful shape that modern Corvettes haven’t quite been able to pull off – they’ve all tended towards muscular and angular – or a combination of the two. Today’s 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a fine restomod that’s truly a one-of-a-kind machine. Sitting on a SRIII Motorsports Round Tube Chassis, this ‘Vette enjoys a 480-horsepower GM LS3 V8 with fuel injection, a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and so many other neat things. The current owner says that just 800 miles have passed since the build of this car was completed.
Chevy’s C3 or third generation Corvette was around from 1968 right up until 1982. It weathered the Malaise Era with poise, remaining one of the fastest American cars during those dark times. Chevy kept updating and improving the C3 throughout its lifetime, too. This meant that even later-model C3s had plenty to offer. Take this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe as a prime example. It’s painted in lustrous Coca Cola red and packs the requisite 350ci V8 under the hood. Plus, it’s got under 10,000 miles and resides in Brownsville, Kentucky. Talk to us if you’d like to make it your own – because a C3 Corvette in good condition is a fine way to enter the world of classic American cars.
Chevy’s C8 or eighth-generation Corvette debuted in 2020 with a new mid-engined design, supercar-inspired looks and a new level of performance, overall. The new LT2 small-block V8 makes 490hp and 465lb-ft in stock form, which is a mild increase over the C7 on paper, but translates to vastly improved acceleration and drivability as a result of tuning and the new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox which the C8 comes with. But what if you want to make that naturally aspirated unit into a forced induction beast? Well, you get something like this 570-horsepower 2022 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT. Tuned by Elited South Tuning and fitted with a Huron twin-turbo kit, this rear-wheel drive beast could be yours. It’s up for grabs in Greer, South Carolina with under 5,000 miles on the clock. The original window sticker, two keys and owner’s manual are included with the sale as well.
In the Seventies, trucks like this 1971 Chevrolet C10 plied back and forth across America’s roads, carrying cargo and supplies for countless small businesses and entrepreneurs. Essentially, these trucks were a significant part of the backbone of American commerce, in urban as well as rural areas. They were built tough and utilitarian, but had reasonable comfort to allow their owners to carry their families within the passenger cab as and when needed. This particular truck comes from the second generation of the C/K Series which ran between 1967 and 1972. IT’s got just 1,237 miles on it after some refreshment work, and is available in Spring, Texas. That makes it a fine classic truck to own and drive if you’re inclined towards such vehicles.
