The long-running C3 Corvette saw service from 1968 to 1982 and is fondly remembered for its distinctive design. Despite weathering the worst of the Malaise Era, the Corvette emerged victorious, and when the C4 debuted for the 1983 model year, the C3 was already becoming notable. If you'd like to buy one of the later-era C3s, this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe fits the bill to a tee. It's got a new engine with just 1,000 miles on it and a few upgrades plus refurbishments too.
Exterior and Interior
The charcoal gray paint job on this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe compliments the muscular looks that Bill Mitchell modeled on the 1965 Mako Shark II concept car. The current owner reports that the car bears new electronic headlights within the iconic pop-up clusters, as well as new tires. As a Coupe, you've got a set of T-tops to take off and enjoy an open-topped motoring experience at will. There's plenty more to admire about this 'Vette, but let's get inside and see what's there for the driver and passenger. Featuring a black and silver leather interior, this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is ready for its second lease on life. Two comfortable yet supportive leather seats feature the Chevrolet bow-tie on the headrests. The current owner reports a new digital dashboard with digital readouts nestling neatly within the factory gauge pods, including the auxiliary gauges in the center console. We also spotted the factory climate control panel, but the radio has been upgraded. The new Jensen head unit supports Bluetooth, CD, USB, and AUX inputs as well as traditional FM radio. An aftermarket speaker pod has been installed just beneath the rear liftback, and there's plenty of space for luggage should you desire to take a trip in this 'Vette.
Engine
This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe packs a new 383ci V8 with just 1,000 miles on the clock, driving the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive and a 3.73 rear axle ratio. Accompanying the new 383ci V8 is a selection of new parts such as tires, brakes and rollers alloying you to extend the life of this iconic American sports car.
The 1986 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the defining early years of the C4 generation, when Chevrolet pushed the Corvette further into the modern performance era with digital instrumentation, aerodynamic styling, and Tuned Port Injection V8 power. Showing 99,665 miles, this example is finished in Black over a Red leather interior, a classic combination that suits the C4’s sharp, low-slung profile especially well. Its 5.7L L98 V8 is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while features such as the removable targa roof panel, digital gauge cluster, Delco-Bose audio system, and power-adjustable sport seats give it the period-correct mix of technology and grand-touring comfort that made the C4 such a major step forward for the Corvette.
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible Restomod takes one of the most celebrated shapes in American sports-car history and updates the experience underneath without losing the visual drama that made the C2 Corvette iconic. Showing approximately 65,888 miles, this example pairs its Victory Red exterior and black interior with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8, electronic fuel injection, and a 4-speed manual transmission. Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation, upgraded suspension components, modernized braking hardware, and aftermarket wheels move the driving experience well beyond a stock early Corvette while preserving the low-slung roadster proportions enthusiasts immediately recognize.
Few American performance cars have the visual drama of an early C3 Corvette, and this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod adds a serious dose of big-block attitude to that already iconic shape. Showing approximately 58,617 miles, it wears Tuxedo Black over a Black interior and keeps the unmistakable low-slung proportions, removable T-tops, and cockpit-style cabin that made the third-generation Corvette such a standout. The real story, though, is under the hood, where a 467ci V8 built from a 454ci block brings the car well beyond factory specification. With the current owner reporting 609 HP and 597 LB-FT of torque on 91 octane, this is the kind of Corvette built for someone who wants classic C3 style with considerably more muscle behind the throttle.

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser. The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable. It is a clean, straightforward Nova built around the formula enthusiasts still appreciate today: V8 power, rear-wheel drive, simple mechanicals, and unmistakable early-1970s Chevrolet styling.
