Chevrolet
Chevrolet's collector story runs through two institutions it created: the Corvette, America's sports car since 1953, and the small-block V8 of 1955, the engine that powered half of American performance for decades. The muscle era added the Camaro and big-block Chevelle to the canon, and rarities like the COPO cars now trade in serious money. The Corvette itself has never been stronger — mid-engined since the C8 generation, with the hybrid ZR1 pushing past 1,000 horsepower — while C1 through C3 Corvettes and documented muscle remain the beating heart of the American auction scene.
Chevrolet Corvette (C1)
America's original sports car — fibreglass-bodied, V8-powered from 1955, and the foundation of every Corvette that followed.
Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (C2)
The split-window Sting Ray — five years that produced the most coveted Corvettes ever built.
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C3)
The shark-styled Corvette that ran for 14 years — collectible at the early big-block end, undervalued in the middle.
Chevrolet Corvette (C4)
The clean-sheet Corvette that dragged the car into the modern era — collectable today for the ZR-1, Grand Sport and last-year LT4 cars.
Chevrolet Corvette (C5)
The clean-sheet, hydroformed-chassis Corvette that finally paired real performance with real usability — and gave the world the LS1 Z06.
Chevrolet Corvette (C6)
The Corvette that finally lost the pop-up headlights and gained the LS7 Z06 and supercharged LS9 ZR1.
Chevrolet Corvette (C7)
The last front-engined Corvette — and, in ZR1 form, the most extreme road Corvette ever built.
Chevrolet Corvette (C8)
The first mid-engined production Corvette — and the platform for the Z06, E-Ray and 1,064-hp ZR1.
