1998 Chevy Corvette
$14,900
“The Heartbeat of America” coined by Chevrolet to tout the sports car legend of the Corvette. The introduction of the C5 Vette was a huge success and with the U.S. economy in a boom, dealers were selling these faster than the plant in Bowling Green could keep up.

$4,900
Here is an absolutely drop dead gorgeous 1992 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Tahoe in beautiful condition inside and out. This is one of the cleanest you can find, and has been extremely well preserved by the dry Arizona climate. This Chevy was meticulously cared for by its original owner for its entire life.

$12,900
This clean F100 is a great way to branch out into the collector truck market on a budget, or just to buy as a great pickup to drive around. It's a simple truck that comes from simpler times. Although it has classic body lines, it's still a workhorse, and would make a great handy pickup to pickup supplies for your weekend project, but it could also fit in at most car club cruise-ins.
1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief
$9,900
This 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief for purchase. The Cherokee “SJ” was produced from 1974 to 1983 and was promoted as the “sporty” version of the Jeep Wagons. For the first time the term “Sport Utility” appears, in the 1974 sales brochure. These 4x4 vehicles were rugged but comfortable enough for daily use and are the predecessors to the modern boom in the 1990's. This Jeep just came out of a private collection and is ready for its next owner. Room to invest for a restoration on enjoy it the way it is.
1979 Chevrolet Corvette
$12,500
This C3 Corvette is a reliable American sports car with killer curves. It’s not in perfect shape, but would make a great investment for a restoration project, or a daily driver that doesn’t come with the normal stresses of a collector car. It only has 61,782 miles on the clock, and lots of road time left in it.
