The 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible belongs to the fifth generation (C5) of the mighty American sports car. This particular generation is praised globally for its exceptional build quality and engineering innovations. It was produced for seven years, from 1997 through 2004, while the Convertible model was first introduced for the 1998 model year. Here, we have one of those early examples, but not in its stock form. This 1998 Corvette Convertible has been heavily modified with upgraded internals to crank out around 150 horses more than its stock output. It is also fitted with several upgraded cosmetic components, enhancing the aggressive exterior appeal of this mean machine. With 62,000 reported miles on the odometer, this open-top Corvette is in impressive condition. The current owner reports a recent oil change and a new set of tires.
The exterior design of the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible represents a combination of retro and modern styling. Its popup headlamps and beige soft-top convertible roof are the most eye-catching exterior elements. However, this Corvette has been enhanced with an aggressive-looking, functional L80 hood scoop, along with blacked-out wheels and a rear spoiler. This one-of-a-kind build gives it a unique appeal that is visually aggressive yet elegant at the same time. On the inside, the interior is trimmed in black while the seats are specced in black and beige upholstery with contrasting red stitching and LS1 embroidered badging. The central infotainment system is an aftermarket unit from Bose, with Bluetooth connectivity.
The 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V8 engine, dubbed LS1. This motor, in its stock form, outputs 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of maximum torque and comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. However, this Corvette has been heavily reworked and enhanced with upgraded components. The current owner reports new upgraded aftermarket camshaft, headers, and a new Hurst shifter. These upgrades result in a whopping reported power output of 500 horsepower, which is a significant upgrade over the stock car. To put a leash on all those horses, the car gets vented disc brakes at all four corners. The suspension has also been augmented with a lift kit comprising front and rear independent setups with transverse composite leaf springs and short/long arms. In conclusion, this 1998 Corvette Convertible is a tastefully specced machine with notable performance enhancements.

All Info As Reported by Current Owner
In 2005, Chevrolet revealed the all-new C6 or sixth generation Corvette. It did away with pop-up headlamps due to tightening safety regulations, but improved upon the C5 in nearly every other way. Whether it be power, performance or luxury features, the C6 represented a healthy upgrade over the C5. That’s why even today, C6 Corvettes like this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe are considered to be a great way to sample America’s greatest home-grown sports car marque. This particular car has just 14,732 miles on the clock and comes from Colorado. It’s got the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group, the Magnetic Selective Ride Control adaptive suspension system and a lovely 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
The last year of C7 or seventh generation Corvette production was 2019, before the all-new C8 came with its mid-engined layout and new styling. So, if you really want to celebrate the last of the front-engined Corvettes, we have a glorious swansong up for grabs in St. Simons Island, Georgia. With a mere 1,044 miles to its name, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Hennessey HPE850 is a snarling 850-horsepower beast that enjoys the Hennessey Performance HPE850 package for its 6.2-liter supercharged V8. That’s not all, the car also comes with staggered Vicari alloy wheels and an XIK/ITC widebody conversion.

One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.

BMW’s 3-Series is a fine compact luxury car, embodying BMW’s spirit of creating the Ultimate Driving Machine. The default choice for many petrolheads for decades, BMW had the bright idea of pushing the envelope and creating a halo variant in the mid 1980s. Their efforts came to fruition with the E30 M3 that ran between 1986 and 1991. With its fizzy four-cylinder engine and myriad performance enhancements, the letter-and-number pairing of M3 quickly gained a reputation. Ever since then, every 3-Series has been accompanied by an M3. Engines grew from four to six to eight cylinders, and then went back to six, albeit with turbocharging. This particular 2023 BMW M3 Competition from Sunset, Texas is from the current G80 series and has just 5,000 miles on the clock. Plus it’s got the Competition Package for an even more hardcore driving experience, while retaining the family-friendliness that the 3-Series is known for.
