The first generation, often called the "solid-axle" generation, laid the foundation for the Corvette's legacy.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is a classic sports car, known for its redesigned rear end, often referred to as the "ducktail" or "tail lift", which was a precursor to the iconic Sting Ray design. It also featured a new, billet-look grille at the front and subtle changes to the headlight bezels. The 1961 model year also saw the introduction of an aluminum radiator and the tradition of four taillights.
​
The 1965 fuel-injected Corvette, also known as the "Fuelie," is a highly sought-after classic, particularly the 327/375hp version. It represents the last year of this iconic Rochester fuel injection system before the introduction of the big-block engines.
​
The 1963 Corvette, also known as the Sting Ray, was a revolutionary design for the Corvette, marking the beginning of the second generation (C2). It featured a completely new body and chassis, ditching the previous generation's design and focusing on a more aerodynamic, performance-oriented aesthetic. Key features included a sleek, low-slung body, available in both coupe and convertible styles, and the iconic split-window design for the coupe.
​
The 1972 Corvette LT1 is a high-performance version of the C3 Corvette, powered by a 350ci V8 engine, known as the LT1, that was rated at 255 horsepower in 1972 due to a lower compression ratio. It is distinguished by its special performance cam, solid lifters, and other features designed for enhanced power and durability. This was the last year for the chrome bumpers on the Corvette.
​
The 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is a high-performance variant that blends the styling and chassis of the Z06 with the powertrain of the base Corvette Stingray. It offers a compelling balance of track capability and everyday usability. It features a 6.2L V8 engine producing 460 horsepower, a choice of 7-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmissions, and a wider body with Z06-derived styling.
​
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is powered by an all-new, naturally aspirated LT6 V8 engine, producing 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This engine features a flat-plane crankshaft, double overhead camshafts, and a high 8,500 rpm redline, giving it a unique sound and performance characteristics.
