If you have a C3 Corvette sitting in your garage, we want to hear about it. Chevrolet produced the C3 Corvette from 1968 through 1982, creating a wide range of years, engines, configurations, and values. At Classic Investments, we buy and consign classic Corvettes in virtually any condition. Your Corvette can be fully restored, original, modified, unfinished, damaged, or awaiting mechanical work. We are interested in finding the right cars for our inventory. If you know someone considering selling a C3 Corvette, tell us about it. Classic Investments also offers a finder’s fee for tips that lead to us purchasing a car.
Selling a classic Corvette does not have to become a long, complicated process. You may have owned your C3 for years, or you may have recently inherited it. Perhaps you started a restoration and never finished it. Maybe the car has been sitting for years and you simply do not have the time to deal with it anymore.
Whatever your situation, Classic Investments can help. We are interested in C3 Corvettes with a wide variety of histories and conditions. You do not need to have a perfect, fully restored car before contacting us.
You do not need to have a perfect C3 Corvette before contacting us. In fact, some of the most interesting cars have years of history behind them.
A Corvette might have spent decades with one family, sat inside a garage, or become an unfinished restoration project. It may also need substantial mechanical work before returning to the road. We want to know about those cars.
Condition certainly affects value, but it does not automatically eliminate a car from consideration. Send us the details, and we can determine whether your C3 Corvette makes sense for purchase or consignment.
A running Corvette is not the only C3 we consider. We also look at projects, long-term storage cars, partially restored vehicles, and Corvettes that currently do not run.
Mechanical problems can reduce a vehicle’s value. However, they can also create an opportunity for the right buyer. A non-running Corvette may still have a desirable engine, transmission, body, interior, history, or other valuable components.
Give us an honest description of the vehicle. We can then determine whether it fits what Classic Investments is looking for.
A professionally restored C3 Corvette can attract significant attention.
Restoration quality matters, though. We want to know what work was completed, who performed it, what components were replaced, and whether documentation exists.
If your Corvette received a comprehensive restoration, tell us about the work.
A high-quality restoration can make a car particularly attractive to buyers who want a classic Corvette without taking on a major project themselves.
An original Corvette can tell a very different story.
Original components, factory specifications, ownership history, and preserved features may interest buyers looking for authenticity.
Therefore, do not assume an unrestored car has little value.
If your Corvette has remained largely original, that information is important. Tell us exactly what you have, even if the car shows its age.
Selling a classic Corvette privately can take considerable time. You have to determine an asking price, photograph the vehicle, create advertisements, answer messages, schedule appointments, negotiate with potential buyers, and arrange payment and transportation.
Even after doing all that, there is no guarantee that the person contacting you is a serious buyer.
Classic Investments provides another option. Instead of handling the entire process yourself, you can talk directly with a company experienced in classic automobiles.
Our goal is to make selling your Corvette direct and uncomplicated.
Start by telling us what you have. Give us the year, model, condition, mileage, engine, transmission, history, location, and any important documentation.
Photos can also help us understand the car before we discuss the next step. You do not need professional photography. Clear pictures showing the exterior, interior, engine compartment, chassis, and areas needing attention can provide valuable information.
You can sell your C3 Corvette directly to Classic Investments when the car fits our purchasing needs.
We also offer consignment for appropriate vehicles. Consignment provides another option when a Corvette deserves specialized marketing and exposure to serious enthusiasts.
Every car is different. Therefore, we can discuss the vehicle and determine which option makes the most sense for you.
Finding the right buyer can take time.
Generic classified advertising can put your Corvette in front of hundreds of people who are simply browsing. You may spend weeks answering questions from people who never intend to purchase the car.
Classic Investments focuses on the classic automobile market. We understand how to present specialty vehicles to potential buyers and how to highlight the characteristics that make each car interesting.
That can save you considerable time and frustration.
Year, model, engine, transmission, originality, mileage, documentation, restoration quality, and condition all matter. We evaluate each Corvette individually rather than assigning the same value to every C3.
Contact Classic Investments with your vehicle’s details for an evaluation.
Yes.
We consider C3 Corvettes requiring restoration or mechanical work. We also consider unfinished projects and vehicles with significant cosmetic or mechanical needs.

Yes.
Classic Investments offers consignment for appropriate vehicles. Consignment can be an option when you want professional assistance marketing the Corvette to potential buyers.
Contact us to discuss your car and determine whether consignment is appropriate.
Yes.
A non-running C3 Corvette may still have significant value depending on its condition, components, history, and configuration.
We consider vehicles in a wide range of conditions. Tell us what is wrong with the car and provide as much information as possible.
Start with the year, model, mileage, engine, transmission, color, condition, ownership history, and location.
Tell us whether the car runs and whether the drivetrain is original.
Restoration records, service receipts, factory documentation, and photographs can also help us evaluate the Corvette.
