This next car comes as a tip from MB who writes: If you love the color orange and live in Minnesota, this could be the perfect car for you. Oh wait, I just described myself. Good thing I’m already insuring five cars or I’d be tempted to go see this thing myself. This Corvette represents […]
Somewhere between a Long Island speed shop and a fever dream, this C3 had its heart swapped for a 4-bolt-main 350 and fed a turbo setup reminiscent of a Yenko Camaro—because why not? It’s got mirrored T-tops for your Miami Vice moments, a 4-speed manual for actual fun, and the kind of backstory that’ll have […]
This next car is the kind of fiberglass shark that swims best on blacktop—numbers-matching 350 V8 with Dart Iron Eagle heads, a 4-speed stick, long-tube headers, and enough snarl to make lesser fish scatter. The paint is deep ocean blue, the birdcage is clean, and with disc brakes, power steering, and vintage A/C, it’s ready […]
There is nothing wrong with the power and speed that comes from modern LS-whatever powered Corvettes…except that there was a time when Chevrolet let you shove a big-block in the front. It probably added enough weight to make handling trash, but C3 generation Corvette’s aren’t known for Lotus style handling. Find this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette […]
This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: Although i am guilty of always having a soft spot for the ’68 thru ’72 Corvette with the chrome bumpers, i still dig the C3 platform in general. This one seems like a legit barn find and in solid shape for a restoration that […]
The C3 generation Corvette is not the most desirable of cars to proudly display the crossed flags emblem, but it’s not a wrong choice if you are on a budget. The C3 is often ridiculed for being one of the least sporty of the Corvettes, but the body shape is admired by many and today’s […]
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: Any day now they’ll rise meteorically in value. I think. I keep waiting, until then this is a great buy. Indeed, the C3 generation Corvette is one of the more iconic designs in Corvettedom, but given little love in the hierarchy of […]
The C3 generation Corvette might not be the most desirable of all the 8 generations of Corvettes…but it is the most Breadvan’d of the Vettes. Breadvan’d…you say? Tell me more. A breadvan isn’t a van whereyou drive around delivering bread…actually it is…but the breadvaning we are talking about here is when sports racing cars from […]
un’s dress…and the low compression smog choked V8s are terrible and build quality is on par with the worst best stuff at Harbor Freight…but they have a certain aesthetic charm, and chicks dig ’em. Who doesn’t remember the Corvette Summer and a young Luke Skywalker starring next to the nerdy girl from Ghostbusters? Find this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette offered for $16,000 in Mesa, AZ via craigslist.
I know that everybody loves to hate on the plastic bumper C3 generation Corvette — yeah the chassis is a loose as wizard’s cuff…and the low compression carburetor fed V8s are terrible and build quality is on par with the worst best stuff at Harbor Freight…but they have a certain aesthetic charm, and chicks dig ’em.
