Chevy's Corvette is still an awesome sports car, right from when it was first introduced in 1953. Seventy years down the line, Chevrolet has firmly established the Corvette as an "Americas Sports Car," and it became something that you could see everywhere; while still overwhelming, it's not a rare thing anymore. With countless models, revisions, and variations, the Corvette is a car that is easy to miss. To stand out in a sea of Corvettes, your best bet is this frame-off restored 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary, with a total mileage of 92,000 on the odometer.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary is painted in full Silver Metallic. The front features the Corvette's typical sloping hood with the grille acting as an air dam as well on the bottom and painted in black. The hood is also host to the Silver Anniversary special badging which is also on the fuel door. The seller reports that the frame-off restoration included new headlights. The sides feature the regular crossed flags emblem along with fender vents. The side mirrors are also painted in the body color. The rear is host to a fixed glass fastback-style rear window which increases visibility as well as luggage space. Apart from the quad taillights with the Corvette lettering nestled between them, the rear is devoid of any other ornamentation and even lacks a typical rear bumper. The car sits on a set of unpainted vintage wheels with the crossed flags emblem on the center caps. The interior features an all-black finish with contrast white stitching and a smattering of chrome trimmings. The stock radio has been replaced with an aftermarket Alpine head unit with Bluetooth functionality below the aircraft-style gauges.
The car comes equipped with a 5.7L V8 engine coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission. The frame-off restoration of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary was more focused on the mechanical aspects of the car. The seller reports these changes, new distributor, new gaskets and hoses, new spark plugs, new starter, new power steering control valve, new seals, new coils, new clutch, a rebuilt and tune-up carburetor, new brake calipers, shock absorbers, rotors, and disc brakes.
America’s Sports Car, the Chevrolet Corvette, is not coming to an end; in fact, the cars are getting by every iteration. While the classic examples of the Corvette are highly desirable, the modern iteration of the model is the most powerful ever built. The eighth generation Corvette has been such a success that Chevy is reportedly building them until 2027. Up for the taking is a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe with a host of factory additions and a low 650 miles on the odometer.
For Corvette lovers, this is Genesis. The original C1 Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953 and was made for an impressive (by modern standards) nine years before its replacement was unveiled in 1962. Conceived to take on the might of the British sportscar industry, the C1 Corvette was an all-American interpretation of the classic two-seater formula. In 1955, the Corvette got an updated body, which was carried through to our featured car: a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that comes with a four-speed manual transmission and a 265ci V8 engine. This classic Corvette is ready for a new home. If you’re a lover of old-school American metal, then this could be the car you’re looking for.
This is the car that changed the iconic Corvette’s script: the Chevrolet Corvette C8. By relocating the 6.2L V8 to the middle instead of leaving it at the front, Chevrolet bred a new track monster. The C8 is a beast that costs almost half the price of its European rivals. The example we have for sale is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT which is equipped with a Theft Deterrent System, among other choice options. The car has a mere 7,275 miles on the odometer, as it happily awaits its new owner.
The Chevrolet Master is an iconic example of pre-war design that looks just as striking today as it did in the ‘30s and ‘40s. The Master and Master Deluxe were the flagship models offered by Chevrolet and featured chrome trim and a well-appointed interiors. The Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe was aimed at professionals. It features a stylish two-door bodyshell and a large trunk to accommodate the needs of someone such as a traveling salesman. Our featured car appears to be an immaculate survivor. It encapsulates the period in which it was introduced and provides a new generation of car enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the charm of the era.

Nowadays, pickup trucks are recognized as go-anywhere, do-anything tools with the toys to match. In addition to offering the utility that is lent to them thanks to their versatile body style, they now support the same creature comforts as some of the most luxurious high-end cars while offering the power and style to match. But, in post-war America, the humble pickup was favored for its versatility, practicality, and reliability. However, even though style may have taken a backseat in the minds of the consumer, there’s no denying the classic charm of this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Our featured truck is reported to be mostly original but has been subject to routine and preventative maintenance. It also features a new 216ci inline six-cylinder engine.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
The golden era of muscle cars is widely thought to have peaked around the late ’60s and early ’70s. It was the time before stricter emissions and economic regulations came into play that put an end to the ever-swelling engine capacities and power outputs that manufacturers used to lure customers into their showrooms. The 1969 Pontiac GTO Coupe defined this golden era. With its stunning and aggressive design and scarcely believable engine configurations under the hood, the GTO is a true muscle car in every sense of the word. Our featured vehicle celebrates this era of design and power. It comes with the iconic 400 ci engine that has been freshly rebuilt, along with a host of new parts and accessories, enabling you to taste the best of the original muscle car era.
