As the new year begins, where better to start our first Listings We Love episode than where the iconic Corvette brand began? We love all Corvettes here at CorvSport, but naturally, the first generation holds a special place in our hearts. To heat things up even more, two of today’s C1s are being offered at no reserve, meaning the sellers have enough faith that their classics will reach (or surpass) how much they need to get out of them. Let’s dive in! [Author’s Note: This article is FREE and not behind a paywall. If/when any popups occur, please click to make them disappear and continue enjoying the article.]
