C3 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale In Tampa (1968-1983)

You sure can. However, if you're hunting for an authentic one owner, the market becomes much smaller. If owning a 'chrome bumper,' with paint so deep it looks like you could step into it, is your dream then search no more! There's nothing on the road that sounds like a classic Corvette fitted with side pipes. The fresh BluePrint stroker 383 engine, slathered in chrome, sitting under the L-88 style hood, omits a glorious exhaust note as you run it through the gears. This gorgeous Machine has been lovingly cared for spending its entire life covered in a garage and only taken outside on sunny days where it dominated the local car show scene. You want to go cruising, but it's a hot July afternoon, no worries. Leave the hardtop on and crank up the A/C. Or, take the hard top off and just use the convertible top. Pictures do not do this custom Corvette justice! You'll find it waiting...

1968 was the first year for the C3 or third generation of, 'America's sportscar,' and this one has it all. A triple black, chrome bumper, side pipe, 4-speed, are you kidding me! Under the hood is a mean spirited (3914678) NM 327/350 HP L79 that was recently tuned, had the carb rebuilt, and a HEI distributor installed. Before bringing the car to us, the owner had new brakes installed, the starter replaced, a new clutch assembly installed along with new Cooper Cobras. The black paint job is so good you'd swear it was dipped which is why we parked this beauty in the main showroom here at Tampa. This '68 definitely has the right look and absolutely has the right sound. What sounds better...

Corvette enthusiasts listen up because you may never find another C3 like this beauty. The story sounds to good be to true, but this is a one owner '72 Corvette that, according to the family consigning it, spent its life in the Sunshine state. The young lady who purchased the car new was a hair dresser who used the car as her daily driver. This incredible C3 has led a pampered life and is a true one respray survivor. The Ontario Orange Firemist exterior, combined with the tan interior, is absolutely stunning. The seats literally look like they have never been sat in and before anyone calls and asks, the headlights work. Before listing the car with us, new...

The Third Generation Corvettes or 'C3s' have transitioned from being nearly ignored to sought after classics. This white over red beauty has been garage kept, adult owned, and was repainted in 1995. The original 350ci was rebuilt in 1998 and fitted with Dart Aluminum heads and an aluminum intake. This strong running small block produces far more than the original 180hp mill it was manufactured with. A common problem with C3 Corvettes are headlights not operating correctly, but the current owner has replaced the vacuum system with electric motors making the lights work flawlessly. A new exhaust system and tires keep things easy on your mind and out of your wallet. The A/C isn't blowing cold, but no worries, just remove the T-tops and place them in the original storage bags. It may not be a real L-82, but it is an original real four speed car (M21). Corvettes...

This car was in the same owner's possession for almost 30 years before switching hands in 2020. During this extended period of ownership many items were replaced or upgraded to keep this Vette on the road. The odometer is reading about 145k miles, but many items were rebuilt or upgraded including fuel pump, axel bearings, both window motors, master cylinder, wiper module, front glass, radiator, front tires, and other wear items were replaced. The drivetrain is believed to be the original Crossfire injected 5. 7L V8 engine mated to a 4-Speed automatic transmission. The exterior was repainted in 2013. This '82 Corvette Collector Edition is a solid driver and a cool way to enjoy a vintage C3 that's not too nice to be enjoyed daily. If a restoration project is what you're looking for it' would...
