Signet Red w/Red interior, 283/270hp, 4-spd. manual transmission.

By the late ’50’s, the “Jet Age” was in full swing! Rockets were in and Detroit was determined to incorporate elements of them into their cars. Anything that represented speed or flying was cool; fins, side spears, bullet bumpers, and taillights. Even rocket hood ornaments found their way onto American passenger cars. And Corvette was no exception, albeit in a more subtle way. The height of this came in ’58. Big changes came that year for Corvette. It was completely redesigned with a longer and wider body, which meant that the interior was roomier, making it much easier to live with on a daily basis. The headlights also grew from two to four. But what made the ’58 especially unique with the abundance of chrome and other jet-like features. Out front, was a big grille filled with [...]

Silver Blue w/Dk. Black interior, 327/300hp, automatic transmission.

The ’63 Corvette was an instant classic when it was introduced in the fall of ’62. This car was a real game-changer! It brought the Corvette out of the past and well into the future! With 4-wheel independent suspension and a lower center of gravity, the ’63 handled as good as it looks and was on its way to becoming a world-class sports car!

With the exception of one repaint about 10 years ago, some minor refurbishing and regular maintenance, this very sharp, 4 owner ’63’s in remarkably original condition.

The car is pretty much all original (including a #’s matching drivetrain) with the exception of the master cylinder (but we still have the original). The refurbishing includes the gauge cluster, seat belts, and carburetor. The automatic trans, power brakes, power steering, and power windows make for the [...]

LeMans Blue w/Blue interior, 427/500 plus hp, 4-spd manual transmission.

By the mid-sixties, “The Big Three” were in a race to see who could come up with a bigger, more powerful engine to put in a lighter, thus faster car. Zora Arkus-Duntov and his engineering team were constantly and tirelessly developing Corvette to be a better car both on and off the track. But despite their efforts, the car was seriously challenged by Carroll Shelby’s Ford-powered Cobra. Arkus-Duntov’s answer was the Grand Sport Racing program. However, GM’s self-imposed racing ban made the development of the Grand Sport difficult at best and just as things were starting to get interesting, the program was discontinued at the behest of the top GM brass and the cars ordered destroyed. But, not before 5 examples were built and somehow “disappeared” out the back door and into the hands of privateers. However, [...]

Tuxedo Black w/Red interior, 427/400hp, automatic.

If you look at Corvette as a whole, from ’53 to ’69. Many would acknowledge that 1969 was the peak year as far as shear performance. Sure, the mid-years (’63-’67) were legendary. And yes, there were a couple good years left after ’69 (’70-’72 LT1 and the LS6 of ’71 come to mind). But, by 1971 the writing was clearly on the wall that the horsepower wars were over (at least for the time being) and the federal government and the insurance companies had won. However, if you were lucky enough to be of legal driving age and had the $green$ to afford one back in ’69, you had a treasure trove of fantastic performance options to choose from! The teething pains of the new “Shark” bodied ’68 had been worked out. And the ’69 presented the perfect low-slung, great handling platform in which to place any of 6 [...]
