It’s not hard to feel sorry for the C3 or third-generation Corvette. Debuting in 1968 with jaw-dropping looks straight out of a concept car, it would soon be struck by the Malaise Era and the resultant strangling of good old American V8s. Nevertheless, the C3 Corvette was still one of the fastest American cars during those tough times. If you’d like to own a C3 with under 64,000 miles and reportedly sporting its original paint, consider this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette that’s up for sale right now.
The iconic Bill Mitchell lines of the C3 are perfectly showcased by this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in its dark blue coat of reportedly original paint. The muscular flanks and overall design were inspired by the Mako Shark II concept of 1967, which was the work of Larry Shinoda. This car also includes the much-desired mirrored T-tops, which grant occupants a near-convertible experience while maintaining the superior handling and structural rigidity of a coupe. We’re told that the car also has four new tires. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice pop-up headlamps. That alone is a great reason to buy a classic Corvette. The interior of this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette comes in matching dark blue and includes amenities such as power windows and a radio with an 8-track player. We’re told that the air conditioning isn’t functional, but that should be a relatively minor fix. You can always pop off the T-tops and motor down the windows for some cool air anyway. Everything else about this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette looks in great shape, from its leather-upholstered, well-bolstered sports seats to its clear analog gauge cluster with the then-mandated 85mph speedometer. There’s even a tiny stalk for the cruise control system, which was a fantastic novelty at the time. We also spy some aftermarket speakers in the luggage area behind the passenger cabin.
Beneath the stylishly sculpted hood of this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette lies a 350ci V8, paired with an automatic transmission for a smooth driving experience. The engine enjoys chromed valve covers as well, for some aesthetic beauty whenever you pop the hood. And if you want more power, there are plenty of aftermarket avenues at your disposal, making the Malaise Era a distant memory in the rear-view mirror.

With its sleek styling and relatively modern features, the C5 or fifth-generation Corvette is a great place to start your Corvette journey. It’s a definite future classic, but isn’t too old that you’ve got to baby it. Produced between 1997 and 2005, the C5 also marked the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps. That, plus many other reasons, mean that this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a great contender for that extra spot in your car collection. This reportedly all-original car has done 32,000 miles, which is lighter than average. So, it’s in great condition as a result.
The Chevy Corvette is arguably the most well-known sports car in America. Now on its eighth iteration, the ‘Vette has morphed into a mid-engined supercar fighter. But let’s go down Corvette avenue for about three and a bit decades. Let’s step back into 1993, when the Corvette was celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Yes, The Corvette is also one of America’s longest-running automotive nameplates and here’s one for you to consider. This 1993 Chevrolet Corvette may have traveled 115,000 miles in its lifetime, but it’s still a spry thing to behold.
The Chevrolet Corvette is a cornerstone of American car culture. The first generation proved that the company could make a genuinely compelling and impressive sports car. It was loved by many, which is why the second-generation Corvette had a tough act to follow. However, it managed to set a new benchmark with beautiful new sheet metal that drew inspiration from the Mako Shark concept car. Our featured car is a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible — the drop-top version adds a touch more flair to the whole package. The car is reportedly numbers matching and has undergone a complete restoration.
Chevy’s Camaro was introduced in 1967, along with its sibling, the Pontiac Firebird. This duo from General Motors took aim at Ford’s runaway success in the pony car segment, the Mustang. How could Ford have all the fun? The General had to respond, and they fired back with this one-two salvo. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve seen many Mustang vs Camaro battles, and eager enthusiasts on both sides. Heck, you’ll even find collectors with both models in their custody, and they’re hard-pressed to pick a favorite. However, 2024 was a sad year for the Camaro, as Chevy stopped making it. They haven’t said anything about a successor, yet. But you can wipe away those tears and put a smile on your face by purchasing this reported 900-horsepower 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 from us. The car’s got a new engine with just 2,500 miles on it, and a slew of upgrades. The current owner also reports the presence of documentation and receipts to back up the work done to make it what it is today.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
