Last month, we shared a post about a 1963 Corvette Split Window that was languishing away in a Los Angeles parking garage. Some folks thought it might be a hoax, but now we apparently have proof of the car’s lineage thanks to a new listing on eBay that features this special Corvette. “This is your once in a lifetime chance to buy one of the most beautiful cars ever made from the original owners...
There’s something about a C2 Corvette that demands admiration, even – and maybe especially – one with 53 years worth of living etched into it. This 1964 Corvette coupe up for sale on eBay won’t win any Top Flight awards anytime soon, with its splotchy, chipped, and scratched paint and its ragged seats and faded carpet inside. But this Corvette might just win a sentimental award just for surviving. You see, it had the...
John Haynal’s ears perked up when his friend Doug asked if he had heard about Albert Way’s old Corvette. Wasn’t that a 1967 big-block? Haynal is a well-known car collector in the Ocean City,City, New Jersey, area. He has a 1934 Ford five-window nostalgia rod built in the 1950s; two Vegas, one he races in Super Pro and a second that is an old Pro Street; along with an original 1928 Model A...
While getting ready to leave our hotel for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals last Saturday morning we struck up a conversation with our new friend and CorvetteBlogger reader Donny Brass. In addition to assisting with the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race display, Donny was also showing his barn fresh silver/silver 1966 Corvette coupe in the Barn Finds display. Donny’s C2 is pretty unique given its silver on silver color combination as well...
As I continue to search for my next Corvette, I often wonder what it would be like to find a super low mile Corvette gem tucked away in a long forgotten garage or barn. David Hallman from Ottawa, Ontario recently got to fulfill my Corvette dream when he stumbled up on an Elkhart Green 1972 Corvette Coupe that had been sitting since 1973. Hallman repairs and sells old Corvettes. Several years ago he purchased...
Here’s a cool new Corvette we are happy to feature on this edition of RIDES as its owner claims it was the first C7 Corvette Grand Sport to undergo a 700-hp Lingenfelter upgrade. Stan’s new 2017 Lingenfelter Corvette Grand Sport Coupe now puts out 600 rear-wheel horsepower and we imagine it’s a blast to drive! Here is what Stan told us about his new Corvette: I have the first Lingenfelter 700 plus HP C7...
As Corvettes are more than just a car to many owners, it’s no surprise to hear the stories of those who once owned a Corvette in their younger days but then had to sell it. While many go on, for some there is a real sense of loss that the owner didn’t realize they would someday feel. For some former owners, that means trying to find their old Corvette with the goal to buy...
