It’s not hard to feel sorry for the C3 or third-generation Corvette. Debuting in 1968 with jaw-dropping looks straight out of a concept car, it would soon be struck by the Malaise Era and the resultant strangling of good old American V8s. Nevertheless, the C3 Corvette was still one of the fastest American cars during those tough times. If you’d like to own a C3 with under 64,000 miles and reportedly sporting its original paint, consider this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette that’s up for sale right now.
The iconic Bill Mitchell lines of the C3 are perfectly showcased by this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in its dark blue coat of reportedly original paint. The muscular flanks and overall design were inspired by the Mako Shark II concept of 1967, which was the work of Larry Shinoda. This car also includes the much-desired mirrored T-tops, which grant occupants a near-convertible experience while maintaining the superior handling and structural rigidity of a coupe. We’re told that the car also has four new tires. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice pop-up headlamps. That alone is a great reason to buy a classic Corvette. The interior of this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette comes in matching dark blue and includes amenities such as power windows and a radio with an 8-track player. We’re told that the air conditioning isn’t functional, but that should be a relatively minor fix. You can always pop off the T-tops and motor down the windows for some cool air anyway. Everything else about this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette looks in great shape, from its leather-upholstered, well-bolstered sports seats to its clear analog gauge cluster with the then-mandated 85mph speedometer. There’s even a tiny stalk for the cruise control system, which was a fantastic novelty at the time. We also spy some aftermarket speakers in the luggage area behind the passenger cabin.
Beneath the stylishly sculpted hood of this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette lies a 350ci V8, paired with an automatic transmission for a smooth driving experience. The engine enjoys chromed valve covers as well, for some aesthetic beauty whenever you pop the hood. And if you want more power, there are plenty of aftermarket avenues at your disposal, making the Malaise Era a distant memory in the rear-view mirror.

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
Made between 1968 and 1982, the third generation or C3 Corvette has got to be the longest-running era in Chevy’s Corvette.

This fine specimen from 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is a worthy candidate if you’re interested. Hailing from Aurora, Colorado, it’s got just 3,000 miles on its rebuilt 350ci engine and automatic gearbox. Plus, there’s a whole list of new and replaced parts that have been installed, bringing this Corvette to a whole new level in terms of condition. You definitely won’t regret getting your hands on this car!
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
The Chevrolet SSR LS is a uniquely American performance pickup that blends retro-inspired styling with modern V8 power and convertible flair. Designed as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a traditional work truck, the SSR combines a retractable hardtop roof with a short-bed pickup configuration, offering open-air driving alongside utility-focused features. This LS-trim example emphasizes comfort, usability, and factory-installed accessories while retaining the bold character that made the SSR stand out in Chevrolet’s early-2000s lineup.
