Classic Chevrolets for Sale in Venice, FL

Chevrolet listings at Ideal Classic Cars have included a 1956 3100 Cameo pickup and a 1973 Nova SS, along with convertibles, coupes and other trucks. Equipment runs the gamut too, from factory air conditioning, Muncie four-speeds and Positraction rear axles to crate V8s, aftermarket fuel injection and Vintage Air on the restomods.

A Protect-O-Plate is the embossed warranty plate GM issued with new cars of the era, and a build sheet records the options a car carried from the factory. When a listing mentions either, or a numbers-matching engine, ask us about it, and feel free to have an independent inspector verify the claim at your expense.

• A big-block 1971 Monte Carlo has been offered
• Pickups and a K5 Blazer restomod have been listed
• Restomods with GM LS and LT1 engine swaps
• Protect-O-Plates and build sheets with some cars

Corvettes make up a large share of our Chevrolet listings and have covered the first three generations.

One arrived with its original warranty booklet and Protect-O-Plate, and a special-order Hugger Orange 1970 SS396 came with its original build sheet. Restomod Chevelles have included a 6.0L LS coupe and a fuel-injected 496 big-block convertible.

Our 1957 Bel Air listings have shown two ways to enjoy 1950s Chevrolet style. One convertible kept the period look, with a 283 V8, a continental kit, rear fender skirts and wide whitewalls. A restomod convertible instead combined a fuel-injected 5.7L LT1 and a 700R4 automatic with Vintage Air and disc brakes at all four corners.

Novas make a popular base for modern V8 power. A 1973 Nova SS restomod we offered carried a fuel-injected 6.2L LS3 crate engine listed at 480hp, a 4L70E automatic, Hotchkis suspension and Wilwood front disc brakes. See our classic Chevrolet Novas page for more on the model.
