Chevrolet's C3 or third-generation Corvette had been around for ten years by the time 1978 rolled around to mark 25 years of America's sweetheart sports car. This called for some special treatment, and instead of doing a limited edition as would be customary, all 1978 Corvettes featured Silver Anniversary emblems. Only 46,766 were produced that year, making the Silver Anniversary 'Vette something of a collector's dream, especially low-mileage examples like this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary, which bears just over 45,000 miles on its odometer. Read on to find out why this car is not just a piece of American automotive history but a future classic and shrewd investment as a result.
Not all Silver Anniversary Corvettes came dressed in the iconic two-tone silver and gray paint job that this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary proudly wears. The color theme was the idea of the legendary Bill Mitchell shortly before he retired, and along with the aluminum wheels, it cuts a distinctive figure today. Pop-up headlamps, another Corvette mainstay, are yours for the taking with this car, as is its T-Top configuration, enabling open-top motoring at will without giving up the security of a proper, rigid roof. Step aboard the red interior that's reportedly been redone, along with the two seats, and you can see what a Corvette is all about. The current owner reports that the original leather will be included in the sale for added authenticity and that the seat belts and carpeting were replaced too. Furthermore, it's said that the steering wheel has been re-wrapped in new leather. Amenities include factory air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks. The current owner also reports that the factory 8-track has been removed and a Kenwood radio cassette player installed in its place, but the 8-track will be given with the sale.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary comes with the L48 350ci V8 that put out 185hp when new, sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. If that seems low, remember that this was during the Malaise era when emissions controls severely constricted engine outputs. However, automatic-equipped cars were capable of 7.8-second zero to sixty sprints when new, and the manual variants were said to be quicker.
Every so often, American automakers love to wow the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT, with just under 14,000 miles, 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 – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. It's good to see that not much has changed.
When it comes to looking good while going fast, no one does it better than the US. Back in the '70s, you were somebody if you owned an icon like this 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe. Somebody important at that. The Corvette has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year run, it has built a name for itself being one of the most iconic cars to ever come out of America. This particular one has been fully restored and is ready to take on any adventure. Whether it's a nostalgic trek back into the 70s, or across the country, it will perform admirably.
Here’s one hurrah for the pop-up headlamp generation. 2004 marked the last year of C5 Corvette production, and away with it went these iconic eyes that, over four generations, emerged, rotated or flipped around to say hello. Of course, the C5 is a lot more than a pretty face, it was a technological tour de force at the time. The C5 also marked the arrival of the Z06 badge, as a successor to the C4’s ZR1 top-tier performance variant. If that floats your boat, we’ve got a superb 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe up for sale right now, with just over 1,000 miles on the odometer. Furthermore, it's a Le Mans Commemorative Edition car, and includes the Z06 Preferred Equipment Group. In short, it’s Corvette nirvana for one lucky person – will that be you?

The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
