The C7 Corvette Buyer’s Guide

You can find a newer, low-mileage, Corvette at a price point that is reasonable when looking at a C7 vs the competition. You'll pay more than you would for a Mustang, Challenger or Camaro, but you'll get a lot more car for the money too.

1965 – L78 – 6.5L (396CI) V8 Engine Guide: Specs, Features, & More

For more than a decade after the Corvette's initial release it had small-block power. In fact, the 265 cubic-inch V8’s 1955 introduction was largely responsible for the Corvette’s validation as a sporty, performance-minded vehicle. However, by the mid-1960s, those behind the scenes at Chevrolet had begun developing a new powerplant. This engine would become the first big-block V8 to be used in Corvette production.

1963 Corvette Performance & Specifications

The 1963 Corvette marked a new direction for America's sports car, with a striking design, gorgeous rear split-window, and a selection of four capable V8's. For the performance fan, the 1963 Vette represented a significant leap in ability, and for today's collector, the same can be said of desirability.
