Chevrolet’s marketing slogan in 2018 was “Find New Roads.” The idea behind it was to shift perceptions away from nostalgia and toward forward-thinking. The motto was launched when many of the models in the Chevy lineup were about to receive a fresh look, and one of those was the seventh-generation Corvette. Featured on AutoHunter is a 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe – a model widely featured in the advertising under Chevy’s new branding. It is listed by a private seller in Elk Grove, California, and the auction will end on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 12:15 p.m. (MST).
As much as Chevy wanted to emphasize its future direction, we can’t help but feel nostalgic about Corvettes. After all, since 1953, the car has served as a showcase/halo car of American performance – oftentimes competing head-to-head with cars priced way above it. One of the Corvettes that raised the bar in the modern era was the Grand Sport – a track-focused version of the C7 Corvette that was acclaimed for superior handling and swift acceleration.
This Arctic White Grand Sport has only racked up 18,584 miles since it was new. The AutoCheck report gives it a clean bill of health, showing ownership in Tennessee, California, Arizona, and Oregon. The report also shows that recommended maintenance was performed at 17,197 miles, so it’s a turnkey “modern classic” that is ready to hit the road.
What were the key elements that made the Grand Sport such a powerhouse? The main ingredient was found under the hood: an LT1 6.2-liter V8 that Chevrolet rated at 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Added to that were a widened body, unique springs, Magnetic Ride Control, stabilizer bars, and an active exhaust system. Everything worked well together, and Car and Driver praised the car, saying, “It’s performance you can enjoy, thanks to the clear feedback from the steering and chassis as you near the grip limits.”
Speaking of grip, this ‘Vette received new Michelin Pilot Sports just 8,000 miles ago. Perhaps it’s appropriate that the interior is upholstered in Adrenaline Red, because the car is sure to get some juices flowing.
As for that memorable “Find New Roads” campaign from Chevy, here’s a great commercial that gives a glimpse of the Corvette Grand Sport in action. Which roads in your area are calling your name?
