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.
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.
