Overview of 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

Chevrolet's Corvette can be considered the definitive American sports car, as it kickstarted a revolution when the nameplate debuted in 1953. While each generation of the Corvette brought new technological and performance improvements, the bar was consistently raised. That's why this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is likely to be highly desirable for some, and with 74,067 miles on the clock, a very lightly run example for its age. If you've been lusting after a white drop-top 'Vette, here's your chance to grab one.

Exterior and Interior

Draped in a clean white paint job, this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible showcases the crisp Eighties design cues that Jerry Palmer brought to the fourth generation. You'll also appreciate the matching white convertible top that was reportedly installed in 2018 as a new item. Riding on iconic turbine-style alloy wheels, it still looks futuristic, aided by those desirable pop-up headlamps at the front. You'll definitely turn heads as you cruise by in this 'Vette. A cloth car cover is reportedly included in the sale to keep this beauty safe when parked, aided by a ceramic coating also said to have been applied by the current owner. Of course, as you drive, you'll be enjoying the red two-seat interior that this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes with. As Chevrolet's halo model, Corvettes receive the highest specifications of luxury and creature comforts. This car includes power-adjustable seats, a trick digital instrument cluster that uses seven-segment LED displays, automatic climate control, a radio with cassette player, power windows, and power mirrors.

Engine

Lurking beneath the long and low hood of this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a proper V8, a 350ci L98 unit with tuned port injection, to be precise. The current owner reports that the engine received new spark plugs six years ago. Power output when new was said to be 240hp, with 345lb-ft of twist. It's all sent to the rear wheels via a sturdy 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Large ventilated disc brakes on all wheels ensure ample stopping power, while power steering makes handling easier. The fourth generation was also the first Corvette to feature a unibody construction for improved ride and handling.

Current Ask
$85,750

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.

1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod

Current Ask
$55,000

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.

The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.

Current Ask
$42,500

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.

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod

Current Ask
$39,700

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.
