Customizing a classic is a task reserved for true professionals, the wrong upgrade or custom feature can ruin the aesthetic of your build without question. Present today is not just any custom build, but this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette, a rare 1st generation Chevrolet Corvette build that's done to perfection by the folks at Eckert's Rod & Custom wearing a custom chassis from Art Morrison and a plethora of neat surprises beneath the skin.
To sum up how special this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod truly is, this classic was formerly displayed at the National Corvette Museum in the Skydome Exhibit: not an easy feat considering this is, after all, a custom build. This custom classic is finished in Midnight Blue and sits on a Custom Art Morrison chassis. From afar this custom build shares a lot with the factory design, and its on closer inspection the custom features like the custom LED headlights and de-chromed and blacked out exterior come to life. In terms of shoes, this classic sits neatly on a set of custom 17" HRE wheels that are finished off in gun metal grey. Like the exterior, the black interior of this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette sports all its factory styling with a twist. Get comfy and a closer inspection showcases Dakota Digital gauges in place, new seats, new door panels, and carpeting in place.
While the exterior and interior boast a host of custom features, the engine department of this custom classic is where the best unique features lie. Pop open the hood of this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette and what you will find is a new custom-built LT-5 engine, built by Graham Behan. Wondering what makes that performance figure a reality? The current owner reports a custom aluminum driveline, custom-built electronic control module for Lingenfelter, a new stainless steel fuel tank with fuel pump, new ceramic coated headers, polished stainless steel SuperTrapp mufflers, and a custom-built radiator. Handling is also vastly improved with a Heat-treated gear set & stub shaft, custom-made half-shaft, Flaming River steering column, and a 3.73 gear ratio. In terms of power delivery, this custom classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a new ZF 6-speed manual transmission giving you more control of this cars impressive performance.

The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 1,600 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
It’s hard to believe that it's been four years since Chevrolet first revealed to the world the all-new 8th generation mid-engine Corvette. At that time, Chevy did a phenomenal job completely changing the perception of the Corvette, especially with its exotic car looks and mid-engine design. It not only has exotic sports car performance but also is easy to live with on a daily basis. Compared to its competitors, it has an affordable price tag, which brings exotic-level performance within reach to a broader audience. The C8 is offered as both a convertible and a coupe, and what we are showing in this listing is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Premium 3LT Coupe. It only has 7,500 miles on its odometer and is available for sale in Florida.

The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.

Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
