This is what happens when a 1973 Camaro and a Corvette rear clip spend too much time alone in a fiberglass shop with a lava lamp and a catalog full of drag-race parts. The seller says it is a Camaro/Corvette hybrid, with the Corvette rear body making it a two-seater, because apparently rear seats were […]
Our next feature is a rare Copper Metallic C4-generation Corvette with the LT1 V8, a 6-speed manual, light gray interior, 88k miles, and enough Radwood-era GM swagger to make your New Balance sneakers tighten themselves. This car looks pretty good for the age, aside from some fading on the driver’s rear quarter, and the exterior […]
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: Of all the submissions I’ve made, this one takes the prize. I love Spitfires, it was my first car. I also love fast cars. This obviously is the Venn Diagram of that. Yes, indeed this V8 powered Spitfire with a ginormous hood […]
How is it that a purple C4 Corvette in “needs a tow” condition sells for about 1/10th of what a similar condition classic Ford Bronco sells for? Is the C4 that bad? Is the Bronco that good? Regardless, this thing is equipped with turbine-style wheels, a plus sized rear wing, and enough purple paint to […]
This is a Cadillac XLR, GM’s early-2000s attempt to build a proper luxury roadster using the same basic Y-platform architecture and Bowling Green assembly plant as the C6 Corvette—but with a completely different Cadillac personality. Power comes from the LH2 4.6-liter Northstar DOHC V8, rated at 320 hp and 310 lb-ft, driving the rear wheels […]
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 […]
If you want a cheap LS-powered C3 Corvette you can actually drive around, this is your lucky day. Yes, the malaise-era C3 body now houses a truck-based 6.0L LQ4 with a rebuilt TH350, which means it finally has the horsepower GM forgot to include in the late 1970s. It runs, drives, and can be used […]
The C5 Corvette remains one of the best performance bargains on the market today, offering genuine chassis sophistication, an all-aluminum LS V8, and everyday usability at prices that still feel like a clerical error. Even in stock form, they punch far above their weight, which makes this 1999 example especially appealing given the addition of […]
A few commenters mentioned what a great deal the C5 Corvette is in today’s market, and to be honest, I hadn’t been keeping that close an eye on Vette prices..but wow…they are cheap. A regular fifth generation C5 hardtop can be had for less than $10K in decent shape and you can even get the […]
If you’ve ever looked at a C4 Corvette and a Kawasaki Concours and thought “yes, but what if both were melted down and reforged into a reverse-trike Batmobile prototype escaped from a DARPA garage,” then congratulations, your dream has surfaced in Palo Alto. This three-wheeled roller pairs the big-brake front clip and coilovers from a […]
