The Classic was more or less a reissue of the Mac Plus, and was hampered by its 8 MHz 68000 processor. It shipped in a newly designed case and had a large 512 kB ROM, from which it could boot. It also included the 1.4 MB "SuperDrive" floppy drive. It was available in two configurations: the low end version, with 1 MB of RAM (No hard drive) was $999 (making it the first sub-$1000 Mac), and the higher-end version, with 2 MB of RAM and a 40 MB hard drive was $1499.
