One of the most iconic sports cars in the world today, the Chevrolet Corvette has stood the test of time, constantly evolving with each generation while still staying true to its automotive heritage. One of the greatest works of the American automotive industry, this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 is now reaching half a century in age but is still going strong, having little to no changes to its mechanical heart, except for a few parts being replaced, such as the fuel cap, oil pans, brakes, and tires, and a new harmonic balancer. With 47,500 miles reported on the clock, this Corvette has been treated with much love. According to the current owner, this Corvette has undergone a recent oil change if maintenance is something you consider important as well.
The look of a Chevrolet Corvette has changed over the decades. However, the raw, aggressive feel that the Corvette evokes has been a constant with each iteration. True to the aesthetic, this 1979 Corvette sports an aggressive design language, featuring a low, sporty stance and long, broad, swooping lines that follow the car from front to back. The current owner reports that new tires are fitted to its wheels, adding a touch of metallic shine to break from the striking red. As for the inside, the current owner reports that the beige interior found in this Corvette is original, with no changes from when it first rolled out of the factory. With plenty of room for its two passengers, this Corvette’s interior is a breath of fresh air, beautifully preserving its retro look and feel, with the only exception being the addition of a more modern stereo head to make sure you can still play your favorite tunes without lowering the quality of sound to what it was decades ago.
Featuring a 350ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission, this Corvette has plenty of power under the hood to deliver all the performance you would expect. To continue powering the rear wheels, the current owner reports that this Corvette has been fitted with a few newer components, including a new water pump, timing belt, and fuel cap, among others. Its independent suspension system, with unequal-length A-arm, coil springs, and stabilizer bar at the front, and the rear having a trailing arm, transverse fiberglass leaf springs, and stabilizer bar ensure that the car is still under control at high speeds. This Corvette’s four-wheel disk brakes provide plenty of stopping power too, letting you push this car to the limit, bringing plenty of smiles in the process.

Everyone wants a C8 Corvette. That’s because for the Corvette’s eighth generation, GM stunned Americans when they moved the engine from ahead of, to behind the passenger cell. That, paired with supercar-inspired looks and more performance capability, means that the C8 is a performance bargain for keen drivers. The C8 is also the first Corvette to be officially made in right-hand drive, and sold outside the United States, namely in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the United Kingdom. If you’re one of those C8 fans, we’ve got a car for you. Check out this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT Z51 from Virginia that’s done just 7,523 miles so far. The car also comes with the Z51 Performance Package, which dials things up even more.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3? This reportedly climate controlled garage kept 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Davie, Florida looks like an appealing buy. The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.
Blending classic American muscle with unmistakable Corvette styling, this fully restored 1971 Chevrolet Corvette offers both power and timeless appeal. Finished in vibrant Red paint with a freshly refurbished Black interior, this example located in Chesapeake, Virginia, delivers authentic driving excitement, thanks to its rebuilt 396ci V8 and engaging manual transmission. With just 1,000 miles on the rebuilt engine, this Corvette stands ready for the road or your next car show.
The Sixties and Seventies were a wonderful time to be of driving (or rather car purchasing) age. The Big Three, namely General Motors, Chrysler Corporation and Ford were fiercely competing for a slice of your income, by offering potent machines with amazing street performance, grunty V8s and a decent amount of family friendliness thrown in. Many of these machines competed in the full-size segment, as many buyers simply wanted a big car. One of the icons of that period was the Chevy Chevelle. A full-size contender, it was made between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. Today, getting your hands on a Chevelle is a dream for many because it’s a well-aged classic car that can, especially in potent SS form, still scare some modern metal. That’s why we’re glad to offer this Georgia-based 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu for sale to one lucky person. It’s a powerful symbol of a freer time when horsepower dominated everything else, and cars were really fun to drive. You didn’t have a myriad of electronic nannies; control was purely in your hands.
Being one of Chevrolet's most popular nameplates brings prominence to the original Chevelle. It was offered in coupes, sedans, convertibles, and station wagons. The Chevelle has some racing history under its belt as well. Its body style was used to win 34 races and win the first two of three consecutive Grand National championships. In 1966, two years after the introduction, the Chevelle was redesigned to reflect the "Coke bottle" body shape. This well-kept example of the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle flaunts this body style beautifully. We were told that this car features a few new details and components, including the engine and transmission. With only 3,256 miles done after the rebuild, this Chevelle is ready to be picked up from Topeka, Kansas.

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.
