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.
Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
By 1979, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a household name. After an initially slow takeoff in its first years, the Corvette soon became known as a serious competitor to the perceived luxury offerings from Europe. The C3 Corvette continued this tradition, with the underpinnings carried over from the C2 but with an all-new body and interior. The design was heavily influenced by the Mako Shark 2, which had been well-received on the motor show circuit. By 1979, the C3 Corvette had already been in production for 11 years. But thanks to continued refreshing, the C3 Corvette still had much to offer. Our featured car includes the desirable T-Tops and a host of new parts.
The C7 or seventh generation Corvette is the last of the front-engined brigade of America’s most-loved sports car. When the C8 dropped in 2020, it shifted to a mid-engined layout and went chasing baby supercars. That means cars like this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ are highly desirable items, future classics, and the best way to enjoy American power and handling. Bearing a mere 39,000 miles, this car is now up for sale, and you’d better act quickly if it takes your fancy.

Have you ever wondered what a 1930s Chevy would be like? Well, wonder no more, because we’ve got a 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod for one lucky buyer to get their mitts on. The Chevrolet Master series was introduced in 1933 and ran until 1942. It was available as a two-door coupe, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door pickup truck and a four-door sedan. The first two body styles included an external rumble seat too, for transporting passengers whom you didn’t truly like, but couldn’t decline either. Thankfully, this particular 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod doesn’t appear to have that, and everyone sits within its protected passenger cabin. The car has undergone a full restoration, and includes a healthy dose of modern parts too, hence the restomod tag.
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
The art of cruising is one that's done best behind the wheel of a convertible, and you can always take it up a notch and opt for a classic convertible to really savor a good drive. Finding the right classic convertible can be a task, you would want the looks on point, performance that's decent and a cabin that provides comfort and aesthetic. Present today is the perfect union of what makes a great classic convertible and takes shape with this lovely 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible. With a reported 33,144 miles on the clock, this isn't just a convertible built for chilled out drives, this mighty behemoth of a machine is also proper '60s muscle as well.
Every generation of Mustang is iconic, but the original is considered genesis. This is ground zero, where the entire pony car genre was born. The 1964½ Mustang, as it’s known, started production a few months before the normal 1965 model year. Although Ford officially referred to all these Mustangs as 1965 Model Year cars, there were subtle differences made to the design after August 1964. Our featured car is an early-model 1964½ and features a new paint job and a rebuilt engine. If you’re looking for the perfect entry into the world of classic Mustang ownership, this classic stallion is the perfect way to do so.
