If the buyer has good credit and is a member of a credit union, a lot of credit unions will waive the age limitation of the vehicle when buying a corvette or anything else they can justify the value being great than the loan amount.
At least that was my experience.
I actually had a small loan on my 97 for a year or so back in 2018 and had no problems getting said loan.

I don’t know how it could possibly get any easier than LightStream. I had 8% with Navy Federal. They would only give me a secure personal loan because the car was over 20 yrs.
Refinanced with LightStream at 3.8% unsecured. Easiest loan process I have ever been through.

I have found that credit unions tend to be easier to work with on financing older specialty vehicles. Of course there are always exceptions to that.
