The first-generation Corvette wasn’t the sales success you may have thought it was. Although today it’s a bonafide classic that almost acts as Genesis for the American car manufacture’s modern sports cars, the C1 Corvette was rushed through to production. The project was aimed to appeal towards war returnees who had developed a taste for British sports cars. But the early C1 ’Vettes were no-where near as polished or as fast as their counterparts from across the pond. However, in 2021, such complaints are unlikely to surface, especially not towards our Florida-located 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. With a 327ci V8 under the hood and extensive work—both cosmetic and mechanical—this early Corvette is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod appears to be in immaculate condition both inside and out. The exterior has been painted in a stunning shade borrowed from Nissan: Platinum Graphite Pearl K51, along with contrasting white coves. All brightwork appears to be intact, including the 1960’s heavy-grilled “teeth” and rear fender-molded tail lamps. The interior is finished in GM Torch Red, with details such as Corvette-embossed carpets, gear pattern illustration, and oversized steering wheel all intact and period-correct.
Under-hood is where this restomod starts to take shape. It features a small-block 327ci V8 that has been bored and balanced, paired to an Edelbrock 600 CFM 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock dual-plane high-torque intake. The engine features a Comp Cams 270 hydraulic roller camshaft, as well as TFS Trick Flow Heads and Pertonix electronic ignition. With this carefully selected parts combination, this Corvette has been dyno’d at 355 hp @ 5000 rpm. Other tasty mechanical additions are front disc brakes (with dual master cylinder), a 4.11 Positraction differential, a Muncie T10 4-speed manual, and a DeWitt high-performance aluminum radiator.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is available right now in San Marcos, Texas, and why should you buy it? Well, for starters, it’s got a scarcely believable 8,000 miles on the odometer! That’s fantastic for a sixth-generation or C6 Corvette, but this car also rocks the Z51 Performance Package and the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group. This means it’s not only well-equipped, but a treat to drive. In case you don’t know, the C6 was a notable step up from the C5 thanks to its slightly shorter overall dimensions but longer wheelbase. This made the car a nicer handling package, as well as gave it a roomier interior. Plus, this car comes with a 6-speed manual transmission to really work out the larger V8 that came with the C6. There’s more, of course, so keep reading.
This 1973 Chevrolet C20 Cheyenne pickup blends classic square-body truck styling with the unmistakable power of a big-block V8. Showing 34,983 miles, this example presents as a well-preserved driver with tasteful performance upgrades. Finished in black with a two-tone interior, the truck carries the desirable Cheyenne trim and the robust 3/4-ton C20 platform. Equipped with a 454 cubic-inch V8 and upgraded induction components, it offers the rugged capability and unmistakable presence that made Chevrolet’s early square-body trucks some of the most respected pickups of their era.
