Our Three Favorite Corvettes from Corvette Mike for February 2024

As we roll through February, we can begin to see springtime and the summer cruising season ahead at the end of the tunnel. It’s also the season of love and if you love Corvettes as much as we do, then take a look at our friends from Corvette Mike and their extensive Corvette inventory.

If you’re currently looking for something to cruise, show, or just show off, our friends at Corvette Mike in Anaheim, California can help you out. Mike Vietro and his experienced team have been buying, selling, and consigning Corvettes for over 40 years now. Over that period, they’ve helped countless enthusiasts find that Corvette of their dreams. Check out their online showroom or give them a call at 714-630-0700 to see what they’ve got available.

This month, they’ve got three separate generations of Corvette to share with us. Our three feature cars include an iconic C2, an amazingly preserved C3, and a unique C7 Grand Sport.

1963 White / Black 340hp Split Window Coupe

The 1963 Split Window Coupe has been one of the hottest sectors of the Corvette market for several years now. Each time one comes to market, there’s a line down the street with buyers ready to eagerly hand over their cash. This Ermine White on black 1963 coupe is the latest quality SWC available from Corvette Mike.

1963 was the first year for Corvette’s 2nd generation with 21,513 total Corvettes rolling out of St. Louis that year. This frame off restored, Ermine White over black example is powered by a number’s matching 327/340hp L76 engine that’s mated to a M20 4-speed manual transmission. A 3.70:1 rear end resides out back.


It’s nicely equipped with the AM/FM radio, power brakes, power steering, and teakwood steering wheel. BF Goodrich Radial tires wrap knock off wheels on all 4 corners. Documentation includes receipts and photos of its extensive restoration.


In the collector Corvettes food chain, there’s not much higher than a restored 1963 split window coupe. Act quickly if you want this Sting Ray in your garage.


1977 Silver / Red L82 4-Speed Coupe


As the 1970’s progressed, Corvette began its transition from boulevard bruiser to refined cruiser. The monster big blocks and convertibles were gone and replaced with smog choked 350-equipped coupes. Leather seats became standard while safety and comfort features replaced smoking burnouts and scorching quarter miles. Cars were flying out of St. Louis to the tune of 49,213 units in 1977 which remains one of the highest production years ever.


For the unrestored fans, Corvette Mike presents this desirable 10,000-mile Silver/Red 1977 coupe. The optional 210hp L82 engine and M21 4-speed transmission move this rare C3 down the road. It’s loaded up with options including air conditioning, power windows, gymkhana suspension, AM/FM 8-track radio, rear defogger, tilt/telescoping steering column, luggage rack, and white letter tires. Multiple NCRS Top Flight awards speak to the correctness and condition of this great Corvette.


2017 Sterling Blue / Gray Grand Sport Coupe


The Grand Sport model returned in 2017 wearing the wider Z06’s bodywork with the Stingray’s driveline. Chevrolet produced 32,782 Corvettes in 2017 and this is one of the 921 (2.8%) cars that were painted in rare Sterling Blue – the lowest production color that year. Breaking the numbers down further we see it’s one of just 304 Sterling Blue coupes produced that year.


The drivetrain consists of the dry sump 460hp LT1 that’s bolted to the 7-speed manual transmission. It’s equipped with the popular 2LZ option package and shows just 27,000 miles since new. That averages out to less than 4,000 miles per year. Other features include 10-spoke wheels, black rockers, carbon fiber interior trim, black brake calipers, electronic limited slip differential, NPP exhaust, and more. Overall, it remains in very good condition and presents just as you’d expect a 27,000-mile Corvette to do.
