It is explained that the inspiration for this unique build came from the Le Mans prototype racer, the BMW V12 LMR, paying homage to the low open air cockpit in a low sweeping body. All body work has been custom-made, with it being approximately three inches wider than the donor Corvette. The panels themselves are made of fiberglass reinforced with vinyl ester resin. The current owner reports that the custom body work with all molds are included in sale and are valued at about $50,000. There is a kevlar firewall and of course the open air cockpit. The car was painted in 2013 and features a functional rear wing. The wheels are forged aluminum rims from Weld Racing wrapped in Nitto tires. Getting over speed bumps is aided thanks to the custom nose lift, which has been installed using 4-inch air bags controlled by a remote.
Under the hood lies a 5.7L LS6 V8 engine, meticulously enhanced to improve upon the original formula. The engine has been repositioned approximately eight inches rearward for superior weight distribution, and the torque tube between the engine and rear transaxle has been shortened. Performance modifications include long tube headers, aftermarket catalysts, and a cold-air intake, resulting in an estimated 455 hp, up from the stock 405 hp. This power is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The vehicle retains the original Z06 fuel tank and rides on LG Motorsports springs and shocks with coil-over dampers. Braking is managed by disc brakes, and driver inputs are made via a squared racing Sparco steering wheel. In summary, the 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Styler Racer is a remarkable fusion of engineering prowess and design ingenuity. Its custom bodywork, advanced engineering, and race-inspired aesthetics make it a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking a unique and powerful vehicle that is significantly lighter than the C5 Z06 it was based upon.
Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
By 1979, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a household name. After an initially slow takeoff in its first years, the Corvette soon became known as a serious competitor to the perceived luxury offerings from Europe. The C3 Corvette continued this tradition, with the underpinnings carried over from the C2 but with an all-new body and interior. The design was heavily influenced by the Mako Shark 2, which had been well-received on the motor show circuit. By 1979, the C3 Corvette had already been in production for 11 years. But thanks to continued refreshing, the C3 Corvette still had much to offer. Our featured car includes the desirable T-Tops and a host of new parts.
The C7 or seventh generation Corvette is the last of the front-engined brigade of America’s most-loved sports car. When the C8 dropped in 2020, it shifted to a mid-engined layout and went chasing baby supercars. That means cars like this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ are highly desirable items, future classics, and the best way to enjoy American power and handling. Bearing a mere 39,000 miles, this car is now up for sale, and you’d better act quickly if it takes your fancy.

Have you ever wondered what a 1930s Chevy would be like? Well, wonder no more, because we’ve got a 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod for one lucky buyer to get their mitts on. The Chevrolet Master series was introduced in 1933 and ran until 1942. It was available as a two-door coupe, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door pickup truck and a four-door sedan. The first two body styles included an external rumble seat too, for transporting passengers whom you didn’t truly like, but couldn’t decline either. Thankfully, this particular 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod doesn’t appear to have that, and everyone sits within its protected passenger cabin. The car has undergone a full restoration, and includes a healthy dose of modern parts too, hence the restomod tag.
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
The Porsche 911 is on nearly every automotive enthusiast’s bucket list. This iconic rear-engined rear-wheel drive sports car was introduced by German automaker Porsche in September 1964. Its unconventional drivetrain layout and air-cooled engine quickly gained it a cult following. Throughout its life, the 911 has retained its iconic teardrop silhouette and rear-mounted engine, although that switched to a water-cooled unit in 1998. So, if you’re on the hunt for a Porsche 911 from a relatively modern era, consider this 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Coming from the 991 generation, this car has seen a healthy 73,000+ miles in its life so far, which is a testament to how enjoyable it is to own and drive. The car comes with up-to-date servicing as well, showcasing that it’s been cared for in the appropriate manner, making it a great buy. Two keys are included in the sale.
Porsche’s 911 may be the German automaker’s signature product, but it was far from their sole one. Over the years, Porsche dabbled (and continues to dabble) in other models too. The 928 was one of these. Produced between 1977 and 1995, it was a front-engined V8 grand tourer. The 928 received the European Car Of The Year award in 1978, and was highly praised by the automotive press at the time. That’s why you shouldn’t miss out on getting your hands on this 1986 Porsche 928 S, with just 76,500 miles under its belt. It’s an excellent modern classic to own and drive.
