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.

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.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
The fifth generation Corvette was revealed in 1997, and would run until 2005. It is the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps, which were discontinued with 2005’s C6 due to inability to meet newer crash regulations. That’s why C5 Corvettes command a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. That, plus the fact that the C5 has some neat engineering. For example, the transmission is at the rear of the car, coupled to the front-mounted engine via a torque tube that turns at engine speed. This arrangement enables the C5 to achieve the magic 50-50 front-rear weight distribution, vastly improving its handling over the C4. This, plus myriad other upgrades, makes the C5 a definitive future classic, as well as a sports car that you can still enjoy in 2024. So why not jump on the bandwagon of fun and buy this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? This car comes with recent servicing, two keys, and 56,067 miles on the odometer.

With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
