What do you do when you’ve created a hit and its 25th birthday is coming up? A Silver Anniversary edition! That’s precisely what Chevrolet did with the 1978 model year of the Corvette, celebrating 25 years of producing America’s sweetheart sports car. Unlike limited edition production runs, all 1978 ‘Vettes got the Silver Anniversary treatment. Isn’t that nice? Here’s one of those cars on sale, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary in our inventory with just 16,500 miles run. It’s a numbers-matching vehicle for added authenticity and has reportedly been recently serviced.
By 1978, the distinctive Mako Shark-inspired lines were ten years old as the C3 debuted way back in 1968. Chevrolet responded for the Silver Anniversary model by introducing some styling tweaks, the most dramatic of which was a restyled fastback rear window. This actually improved aerodynamics and increased luggage space, making it a win-win. Also special for 1978 was the Bill Mitchell introduced silver and gray two-tone paintwork as witnessed on this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary, as well as special nose and fuel door emblems to commemorate this milestone. You’ve got removable T-Tops as well for open-air motoring at will, and they neatly stow in the trunk so no need to leave them at home. The muscular stance is further enhanced by the period alloy wheels wrapped in thick Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The interior on this ‘Vette is in a refreshing shade of white, for two occupants to enjoy. Corvettes always came well equipped, and this one packs air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors and an 8-Track stereo. There’s even a selection of 8-Tracks in the glovebox of Queen, The Doobie Brothers, Moody Blues and Bob Seger, while the deck itself has The Kinks in it. We don’t know if they still play though – that’s up to the new owner to discover.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary is equipped with a 350ci (5.7L) V8 that put out 185hp, good for zero to sixty in under 8 seconds, and a top speed of 123mph when paired with the automatic transmission that sends drive to the rear wheels. Remember, this was the Seventies, when emissions regulations really strangled these monster engines to produce low power figures. However, they are massively tunable to produce much more than the stock figures.
The C3, or third-generation Corvette, was a radical upgrade over the C2. Sporting an all-new design and revamped engineering, the C3 ran between 1968 and 1982. If you're knowledgeable about or lived through the Seventies, you'd know that the Malaise Era was during this period. Yes, this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is from that time. However, even though the Malaise Era brought the automotive world to its knees, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars around. This sentiment is not ours but of Car and Driver in 1975. Hence, with less than 14,000 reportedly original miles on the clock, you can be assured that this example is a stunner to drive. There are quite a few reportedly original bits on it as well, making it an excellent classic for the discerning.
At first glance, it may appear like any other Corvette C8, but after a closer look, it becomes evident that this is no ordinary Corvette. A set of beefy tires in the rear will make people ponder what this 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT LMR is capable of; upgraded by Late Model Racecraft (LMR), this beast houses a custom-built 1,500HP twin-turbocharged engine. With custom engine harnesses and computer controls to optimize maximum power and additional custom fuel and coolant lines to ensure this Corvette performs at its peak. Over from the factory, the Corvette C8 hosts an ample of additional packages such as; the Z51 Performance package, incorporating a range of performance-oriented features like upgraded brakes, suspension, and aerodynamic aids. With the Carbon Fiber Dual Roof package shedding off weight, to the Front Lift suspension providing additional clearance, and the battery protection package. With a mere 8,208 miles on the odometer, this Corvette C8 exemplifies its versatility, making it equally at home on the racetrack as it is on the streets.
The last generation of Corvettes with an engine mounted in the front, the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe LMR, is bred for performance. LMR stands for Late Model Racecraft, a leading provider of turnkey Performance Packages. LMR has given this Corvette C7 an exhilarating 1,000hp twist, allowing you to race against cars that cost twice as much. With just 21,800 miles on the odometer, this car waits for sale in Texas to unleash your inner racer.

Chevy's renowned El Camino nameplate redefined what a pickup truck could be when it was married with a stylish and sporty coupe body style. Designed to offer the comfort of a car, coupled with the versatility of a compact pickup truck, the El Camino created the segment called the Coupe Utility. Of course, the El Camino wasn't the first coupe utility, but it's arguably the most well-known, especially as it was produced up to 1987. Hence, this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino represents one of the last examples to leave the GM production lines and grace our roads. If you buy it, you'll be gaining a relatively modern vehicle, a definite future classic, and a piece of Americana. What's not to like about that trifecta?
