A third generation Chevy Corvette is an interesting classic car to own and drive. You see, introduced in 1968, it came modeled straight after a concept car and looked out of this world. Then, the Malaise Era hit in the Seventies and took down any American car with it in terms of power and performance. Despite this horrific environment, the Corvette managed to remain the fastest car in America, proudly carrying the torch of being the best home-grown performance car out there, and keeping the spirit of driving alive. Today’s 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is a fine testament to the heavy burden that the Corvette bore during those times. It’s got just under 45,000 miles on the clock and currently resides in Milford, Pennsylvania.
This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette wears a burgundy suit that gives it a very sophisticated appearance. The car has aged with grace, after all, its muscular and pumped-up lines still looking good. Its pop-up headlamps, quad rear lamps and silver alloy wheels all look good as well. The wheels bear Cooper Cobra white-lettered tires with a suitably muscular sidewall too, which only adds to the period look of this timeless American classic. Meanwhile, the glass T-tops can be removed for a semi open-air driving experience while retaining much of the benefits of a hard top such as increased structural rigidity and weather protection. The two-seat interior of this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette features a pleasing tan theme. You’ve got air conditioning, a Corvette-branded push-button radio, a nostalgic analog gauge cluster and power windows. A bevy of auxiliary gauges live in the center console as well, showcasing the car’s performance orientation. There’s some space for cargo behind the seats as well, augmenting the amply endowed trunk that every Corvette gets since it’s meant to be a grand tourer.
This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette comes with a 350ci L81 V8 that reportedly made upto 190hp and 280lb-ft of torque when new. Yes, these are Malaise Era figures, albeit not the lowest that they dipped to during that time. Plus, there are plenty of aftermarket avenues to increase the power of these engines. A 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard.
Chevy’s C5 Corvette was introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor to the wildly popular C4 Corvette. The C5 took many of the C4’s best aspects and further refined them. However, it saw a significant mechanical change in that the gearbox was now sited at the rear of the car, directly driving the rear axle. This set-up optimized weight distribution, making the Corvette an even better track handler than it already was. Facilitating this system was a torque tube that rotated at crankshaft RPM, running down the middle of the car straight to the gearbox. This system resulted in the magic 50-50 weight distribution that keen performance driving enthusiasts crave. Today’s 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop offers that, plus the rarer hardtop body style, and a manual gearbox, making it a truly appealing car for someone who loves to drive and seeks a future classic. This car has covered just under 125,000 miles and lives in New York.
The C2 or second generation of Chevy Corvette is one of the most iconic in the saga of America’s definitive sports car. Made between 1963 and 1967, it had a relatively short production run in comparison to the C1 and C3 that bookended it, yet nearly 118,000 examples were produced in coupe and convertible forms. The C2 introduced pop-up headlamps, the Stingray name (spelled as Sting Ray), and the iconic boat-tailed styling. Today, we have a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Ladera Ranch, California, for sale with just 75,461 miles on the clock. This car is an excellent choice for a discerning classic car collector. Alternatively, it’s a perfect starter classic for someone who’s just dipping their toes into classic cars and wants something truly American to own and drive.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
Today, what we know as the Chevrolet Silverado line-up of sturdy full-size pickup trucks can be traced way back to 1960 and Chevy’s C/K Series. Actually, if you really want, you can go back even further, but the proper ancestor is the first-generation C/K. That’s precisely where this 1966 Chevrolet C10 Stepside hails from. These trucks were built in the United States, as well as several other countries including Argentina and Canada. This particular truck is currently stabled in Nevada with just over 44,000 miles to its name. Hence, it’s a great way to dip your feet into the classic car waters, with a machine that’s not just stylish and representative of the Sixties, but something that mobilized countless Americans and helped them reach their goals. We see that two keys plus a brochure are included with the sale of this truck.

You can’t go amiss by choosing a first-generation Ford Mustang as your starter classic car. Ford’s signature model created the whole pony car arena, and over sixty years later, remains the sole survivor of the segment. The first generation Mustang was offered between 1964 (called 1964½ models) and 1973. Along the way, it offered various engines and came in some high-performance variants too. Buyers could choose three body styles, and many went for the stylish fastback or the slick convertible. But, the third choice, the two-door hardtop offered sleek and arguably unappreciated style that really made owning one a personal choice of distinction. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop for sale in Goodyear, Arizona. With its host of upgrades, this is a classic car that’s suitable for daily driving if desired. Snap it up soon!
