With over 1.5 million Corvettes sold since its introduction in 1953, the Chevrolet Corvette has undeniably cemented itself as America's Sports Car. Spanning close to six decades, with eight generations, and numerous special models made it is safe to say that the Corvette is here to stay. This makes having a Corvette a pretty normal thing, but a 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors Edition with only 5,412 units produced, is sure to stand out among the sea of Corvettes. This 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors Edition is ready for a new home, comes with just 32,100 miles on the clock and packs some aftermarket upgrades to make it even better.
The Collectors Edition of the 1996 Chevrolet Corvette is bedecked in the Sebring Silver Metallic limited paint color. The usual special editions are loud and noticeable from a mile away, but not this special edition car, the one word which can describe this Corvette is stealthy. Part of this edition includes special “Collectors Edition” body emblems situated on the hood, wheel caps, and the front fenders, where air vents are also located below. It sits on a set of factory original 17” 5-spoke aluminum wheels painted in silver with black brake calipers emblazoned with the “Corvette” in silver. At the rear, you’ll find new stainless steel exhausts. The interior is done in the famous Torch Red and black. It features chrome door sills with the “Collectors Edition” emblem on them. The cockpit is designed to resemble a fighter jet's cockpit, and it does that excellently. The center console is host to a small plaque with the car's performance numbers. A premium sound experience is provided by a Bose sound system. The seat headrests are embroidered with the “Collectors Edition” wording. It is reported that the original window sticker is still in place along with the original decals.
Pop the front-hinged hood, and you are greeted with the black and gunmetal painted 5.7L LT1 V8, sending drive to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission. Power is rated at 300hp along with 340 lb.ft of torque, which translates to 5.4 seconds in the 0-60 mph and a top speed of 160 mph. Stopping power is courtesy of ABS power-assist vented disc brakes on all wheels. The seller reports that new tires have been installed and Monroe shock absorbers are on board.

Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.
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.
Chevy’s Corvette is a car that many aspire to own and drive at some point in their life. Few cars in the world, let alone America, have reached such legendary status. Few cars in the world continue for over seventy years after their introduction. The Corvette is thus one of a handful of all-time automotive greats. Made across eight generations, it’s weathered tough times and emerged victorious. Even during the dreaded Malaise Era, the Corvette was the fastest American car available at the time. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from far happier times, specifically the C6 or sixth generation of 2005-2013. The C6 saw a shift towards tauter styling, improved handling and of course, more power. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is thus a fine example of a C6 as it bears only under 23,000 miles on its odometer. Coming with the Memory Package, Preferred Equipment Group and so much more, this Wisconsin-based Vette could be yours for the taking – if you act with speed.
Are you someone who is ready to dip their toes into the classic car world, or a Chevrolet enthusiast who is missing a lovely Chevelle in their collection? Whichever you are, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is a perfect pick for you. The Chevelle only saw three generations; however, it was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Most enthusiasts believe that the second generation was the peak of this desirable classic. Lucky for you, our subject car belongs to the second generation as well, and these are known to be reliable classic cars. It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.
Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.
