Since 1953 the Corvette has stood alone. Most models/platforms developed by GM have been re-badged and reskinned over the year as various Buick / Oldsmobile / Pontiac / Chevrolet models…but not the Corvette. The Vette stands alone on something that was occasionally called the Y-platform (front-engine rear-mounted transaxle mounted in a hydroformed perimeter frame with […]
After posting the crazy Wedge earlier today, I feel like we need more loony things. Like this next hot rod. The amount of time/effort it takes to build a custom car like the thing you see on your screen here cannot be dismissed. Forget the money, the welding, the fabricating, the re-welding, the re-fabricating…every small […]
The C5 generation Corvette was a simple step for GM’s engineering team, but a huge leap forward for Corvettedom. It introduced the world to a Vette that wasn’t just a good-looking cruiser with a big V8 because this thing could finally corner like a sportscar. Today we’ve got the cheapest C5 that I’ve ever seen […]
It continues to be true that the best “performance” bargain on the market is the Corvette…new, used, whatever. The dedication to performance over everything (comfort, materials, quality) means that a similar-aged Corvette will be cheaper than the competition and cheaper means mohr money for modzzz. Find this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette bidding for $6,550 with 1 […]
The C3 generation Chevrolet Corvette is known for its curvaceous body, Chevy V8 power, and the structural rigidity of a damp pretzel. Prices are cheap and various examples have been turned into monsters over the years, and we are mesmerized by the wagon versions. The breadvette is a thing to behold. Find this 1969 Chevrolet […]
When someone is selling a car without a title, it can mean one of several things. First, the car was stolen; second, the owner had misplaced the title; and third, the car was RACE CAR. Race cars don’t need a title because nobody cares if the car is or was ever plated. License and registration […]
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: I’m realizing that I’m a C4 fetishist. I recently sold a ’90 with a 6-speed, but I’m intrigued by what it was like to own a four-speed with overdrive and the glam 80s digital dash. Find this 1985 Chevrolet Corvette C4 offered […]
This next Chevrolet Corvette is about the cheapest Vette you’ll find for sale on the internet that isn’t a total basket case. The seller admits that the car doesn’t run (suggests a new HEI module and coil) but the visual condition of the car far exceeds the asking price. Two thumbs up. Find this 1985 […]
