Finding a first-generation Corvette in exceptional condition is a true treasure, and stumbling upon one that has been fully restored is a rarity of its own. The earliest iterations of Chevrolet's renowned sports car have etched their names in the annals of automotive history. Their owners cherish them like cherished family heirlooms. Occasionally, a gem like the 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible emerges onto the market. This specific model has undergone a meticulous restoration process, meticulously brought back to its original specifications. Restoration efforts have extended even to the smallest details. The current owner proudly asserts that the car has been reassembled using new GM factory nuts, bolts, wiring components, hoses, and more, ensuring that every inch of the vehicle exudes its authentic aura. With just a thousand miles logged since its rebirth, this Corvette is not merely an automobile; it's a testament to timeless craftsmanship and automotive artistry, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that beckons those who appreciate the fusion of history, aesthetics, and mechanical excellence.
The allure of this remarkable 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is magnified by its resplendent Roman Red paint with white accents. This pristine beauty comes not only with its soft top but also with a hard top, a valuable addition that enhances both convenience and style. Adorned with radial whitewall tires, the car retains its vintage charm while benefiting from modern tire technology. The car's design is a harmonious blend of elements, with its distinctive exposed quad headlamps, compact yet powerful stance, and the signature bulbous rear, marking it as an unmistakable icon of automotive history. The interior, a realm of luxury and precision, envelops its occupants in newly upholstered red leather. A hallmark of the Corvette lineage, this classic maintains its tradition of seating for two, further enhancing the authentic experience. As you take the driver's seat, your gaze is captivated by the period-correct gauges, which, we're informed, include new tachometer and speedometer units, ensuring accuracy and functionality. Custom seatbelts and a new temperature gauge add to the attention to detail lavished upon this restoration. The craftsmanship is so impeccable that it almost transports you back in time, making it seem as though the car just rolled off the assembly line. The only nod to modernity is the retro-modern AM radio, seamlessly integrating vintage aesthetics with contemporary usability.
Under the hood of this distinguished 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible resides a source of pride: a robust 283ci V8 engine. Testament to its meticulous care, the engine has been recently treated to an oil change, ensuring its continued smooth operation. Channeling its power to the rear wheels is a responsive 4-speed manual transmission, a detail that will certainly bring joy to enthusiasts and passionate drivers. The attention to detail extends to a new fuel pump, underscoring the commitment to maintaining the car's performance at its peak.
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
While we come across several custom builds here at Exotic Car Trader, rarely do we offer a prototype that was created from the ground up. The 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer is a one-of-a-kind creation currently offered for sale by the car's builder and inventor. Using a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as a donor, the sale includes the molds used in its creation of the custom bodywork. The curb weight is reportedly just 2,620 lbs, which is roughly 500 pounds lighter than the original Z06 donor car. One look at this painstakingly crafted prototype, and you can tell that hundreds of hours of engineering and planning have gone into its creation. If you’re looking for something truly unique and an appearance that wouldn’t look out of place tearing around the Circuit de la Sarthe, then this 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer could be the perfect opportunity.

The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.

Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
