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 Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail.

The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
