Named after the small yet maneuverable warship, Chevy’s Corvette has been around since 1953 and is now into the eighth generation. The Corvette is a dream car for many an American motorist and has gained significant recognition overseas as well. What we have here is a nice 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport from the sixth (C6) generation that hails from Texas with just 7,200 miles on the clock, making it an ideal buy for someone who’s always lusted after a newer Corvette. The original sticker price on this single-owner baby was $63,410.
Exterior and Interior
Tom Peters led the styling direction of the C6, which was considered to be an evolution of the C5’s styling with significant tweaks. For example, despite being 5 inches shorter than a C5, it offers more passenger space. Parking a C5 and C6 side-by-side and ignoring the obvious difference in headlamps (pop-up versus fixed), the C6 is overall the tauter and trimmer package. Enjoy those taut and trim lines on this 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport in all its Carlisle Blue Metallic glory and rolling on chrome aluminum wheels. This car has also got the Dual Roof Package consisting of twin removable glass roofs, allowing you to enjoy some open-topped motoring at will. The interior is a black affair for two, and you get some creature comforts such as a radio/CD player and dual-zone climate control. The three-spoke Grand Sport badged steering wheel also features paddles for manual gear shifting duties.
Engine
This 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is powered by the 6.2L (376ci) LS3 V8 is rated for 430hp and 424lb-ft. As this car is fitted with the dual-mode performance exhaust, the power climbs to 436hp. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission with steering-mounted paddles for manual gear shifting. The Grand Sport also features larger and stiffer anti-sway bars, stiffer springs, and revised shocks over the regular C6. A transmission cooler and specific rear axle ratio on automatic transmission-equipped Vettes are also standard. The front and rear brake ducts are functional for cooling the massive 14-inch front and 13-inch rear ventilated brake rotors which are acted upon by 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers.
The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from the heart of the C2 era, when the Corvette had already matured into a genuinely serious American sports car without losing the raw character that made the Sting Ray famous. This example leans heavily into that character. Showing 19,053 miles, it pairs a 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission, then adds the kind of period-style attitude enthusiasts gravitate toward: side-mount exhaust, knock-off-style turbine wheels, and a vivid Sunfire Yellow finish over a black interior. The current owner reports more than $83,000 invested into the build, with attention extending beyond cosmetics into the cooling system, ignition components, timing hardware, and other supporting mechanical upgrades. What makes this car appealing is that it still delivers the classic C2 experience in the way enthusiasts want it: small-block V8 up front, manual gearbox in the middle, drive going to the rear, and very little standing between the driver and the car. The side pipes give the Corvette a more aggressive presence and soundtrack, while the custom paint and wheel setup emphasize the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the midyear Corvette one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs.
By 2008, the C6 Corvette had matured into one of the strongest all-around American performance cars of its era, and this example combines the right mechanical hardware with an unusually extensive equipment list. Showing 50,966 miles, this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is equipped with the desirable 3LT Preferred Equipment Group and Z51 Performance Package, pairing the LS3 V8 with a six-speed manual transmission, 3.42:1 limited-slip rear axle, and dual-mode performance exhaust. It was also specified with the GCA Ultimate Package, adding a collection of appearance upgrades that give this Victory Red Corvette a more distinctive presence than a typical C6. An aftermarket front splitter and audio head unit add further personalization while retaining the fundamental character that makes a manual Z51 C6 such an appealing enthusiast car.
The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible sits at the heart of the early C3 era, pairing dramatic styling with the kind of mechanical specification that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 5,672 miles, this example is finished in Monza Red over a Black interior and is equipped with the desirable L46 350ci V8 rated at 350 horsepower. A 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle keep the driving experience firmly enthusiast-focused, while power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes add useful road manners. Chrome Rally wheels, a black convertible soft top, and the unmistakable Stingray bodywork give the exterior its period-correct presence, while the cabin retains the classic twin-cowl dash, center console, and auxiliary gauge layout. An aftermarket steering wheel, manual shifter, air cleaner, and JVC audio head unit add a handful of personalized touches without taking away from the car’s classic Corvette character.
This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado brings together classic square-body styling with a selection of upgrades that give it a more personalized street-truck character. Showing approximately 70,132 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in a custom Black and Silver two-tone exterior over a Gray interior, it also features power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, aftermarket wheels, an aftermarket suspension setup, and a center console with cupholders. The result is a distinctly American pickup that keeps the straightforward appeal of the original C10 while adding a cleaner, lower, more customized presentation.
