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.
In 2005, Chevrolet revealed the all-new C6 or sixth generation Corvette. It did away with pop-up headlamps due to tightening safety regulations, but improved upon the C5 in nearly every other way. Whether it be power, performance or luxury features, the C6 represented a healthy upgrade over the C5. That’s why even today, C6 Corvettes like this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe are considered to be a great way to sample America’s greatest home-grown sports car marque. This particular car has just 14,732 miles on the clock and comes from Colorado. It’s got the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group, the Magnetic Selective Ride Control adaptive suspension system and a lovely 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
The last year of C7 or seventh generation Corvette production was 2019, before the all-new C8 came with its mid-engined layout and new styling. So, if you really want to celebrate the last of the front-engined Corvettes, we have a glorious swansong up for grabs in St. Simons Island, Georgia. With a mere 1,044 miles to its name, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Hennessey HPE850 is a snarling 850-horsepower beast that enjoys the Hennessey Performance HPE850 package for its 6.2-liter supercharged V8. That’s not all, the car also comes with staggered Vicari alloy wheels and an XIK/ITC widebody conversion.

One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
