In 1975, David McLellan took over as the Chief Designer for the Corvette, and by doing so, set on a mission to completely revolutionize Chevy's sports car. Almost 10 years later, McLellan's vision had finally come to life. The C4 made its debut, and it was a completely new character. With an evolutionary design and chassis made from scratch, the new Vette couldn't be labeled as just an improved version of its older sibling, it was almost a superior breed. We'll get into the details further down our introduction. This 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Convertible, however, has been through 27,400 miles with its original owner, and is currently up for sale, awaiting the second chapter of its life.
McLellan didn't compress his imagination when designing the C4, it was sleeker, more aggressive-looking, and replaced the previous generation's curves with a sharp, boxy design. Even the panels and bumpers on the C4 were made of molding plastics. The only things brought forward were the now single pop-up headlights and quad taillights. This specific example is dressed in a handsome Medium Brown Metallic paint job. This is a rare combination, as many Corvettes of this time never came with a full Medium Brown Metallic paint job, even though accents were not uncommon. In fact, the seller reports that a GM representative informed him that only 56 Corvette Convertibles of this color were produced in 1986, but that information wasn't confirmed in writing. The car also has its convertible top tucked away in the saddle, as well as the original window stickers. While the Saddle/Black swathed cabin does imply some classic taste, the most eye-catching thing within the interior of this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Convertible is its electronic dashboard with a digital liquid crystal display instrument cluster. The seller has been transparent, informing us the radio isn't working, but the reason for it still being that way is because he has never wanted to take apart the dashboard. How's that for preserving originality?
Being an early model, this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Convertible has the 350ci (5.7L) L83 V8. While it isn't the most powerful of the V8 engines that made its way into the C4, the engine provides a lot of character. 230hp of character to be more precise. The owner also reported that the car currently has a minor oil drip. Drive goes to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
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. Over 500,000 units were sold during this time, making it one of the best ways to enter classic Corvette ownership. 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.
