Chevy's Corvette is an excellent point to start if you've always wanted to enter the world of classic American sports cars. There are eight generations to choose from, including the current era. Whether your preferred era of a classic is the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies, or Eighties, there's a 'Vette for the taking from each of them. This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is perfectly representative of the Seventies and Eighties, as the C3 enjoyed a spectacular 14-year production run. The current owner tells us that this vehicle has undergone a full restoration and shows just 21,500 miles on the odometer. Let's learn more about why it deserves a place in your garage and heart.
Each generation of Corvette is distinctive in appearance, with the C3 or third generation bringing a particularly muscular and curvaceous style to the nameplate. Modeled after Larry Shinoda's Mako Shark II concept car, the end result is what you see here, and even more beautiful after a new Jet Black paint job. Furthermore, the current owner of this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe reports that the car has T-tops, comes with new Goodyear Eagle tires, and even sports a rear lip spoiler. Before we leave the exterior, let's just mention the pop-up headlamps, with each pod sporting twin round lamps that glare through the darkness and create a safe path for you. Now on to the interior, which we're told has been newly upholstered in black. A two-seat affair, it's very well-appointed for an Eighties car. You'll find amenities such as power windows and air conditioning. The radio head unit has been upgraded to a retro-styled modern unit that offers AUX and USB connectivity and plays through a duo of aftermarket speakers placed in the luggage area. Speaking of the luggage area, it's amply spacious and lies beneath the sizable glass rear window.
This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe comes with a 350ci (5.7L) L82 V8 that was factory rated for 230hp and 275lb-ft, as per the plaque by the gear lever in the cabin. The engine drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The current owner of this car tells us that there are new bushings, joints, a starter, water pump, clutch, flywheel, rotors, and plugs. There's also said to be a new Holley carburetor, as well as new brakes, and the car has received a recent wheel alignment. With all this hard work done on it, all that remains is for you to buy it, cherish it, and enjoy it.
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.
With its sleek styling and relatively modern features, the C5 or fifth-generation Corvette is a great place to start your Corvette journey. It’s a definite future classic, but isn’t too old that you’ve got to baby it. Produced between 1997 and 2005, the C5 also marked the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps. That, plus many other reasons, mean that this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a great contender for that extra spot in your car collection. This reportedly all-original car has done 32,000 miles, which is lighter than average. So, it’s in great condition as a result.
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.
Classic cars from the ’60s are hot property. But it’s not just cars that have found their way into the hearts of enthusiasts. Humble work trucks like the 1963 Chevrolet C10 are just as desirable. With values for these historic workhorses climbing year after year, it’s getting hard to find good examples of these classics. Our featured 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside appears to be largely original and features a 230ci engine, with a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you’re looking for a well-preserved classic truck or the perfect basis for a restomod, this C10 could be the answer you’re looking for.
The Chevy Camaro is the General’s answer to Ford’s Mustang pony car. Introduced in 1967, the Camaro and its sister car, the Pontiac Firebird, really took the fight to Ford. Chevy had studied what pony car buyers wanted and nailed the formula from the start. Almost 221,000 units were sold to much fanfare. Today, a 1967 Camaro is a great way to enter the world of classic cars, and if that floats your boat, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale right now. This is a fully-restored example, and the current owner says that there’s documentation of all work available. The car has done less than 1,600 miles since restoration. So, it’s a classic that you can drive daily, fearlessly, and enthusiastically.
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.
In the '60s the automotive scene was on a roll, with each manufacturer pushing the envelope in terms of automotive design and performance. During this time, Ford was certainly one of the front runners. With legendary name plates like the Mustang and the Bronco making their way to life, taking ownership of these automotive legends means you are choosing to drive a part of automotive history. Present today is this lovely 1969 Ford Mustang Coupe, this 60s classic features a host of uber cool upgrades that makes it stand out and roar louder.
