This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is for sale in our Louisville KY
showroom. 1978 marked the 25th anniversary for America's supercar.
Starting originally as a little roadster with a small 6-cylinder
engine and looking like an upside-down bathtub no one back in 53
had any idea how this car would change the sports car market. This
78 is a fitting example of one of the lower production dark blue
metallic cars for that year. The paint is base coat clear coat and
looks strikingly good on the car. Flip the hood forward and will
see a very clean engine bay with the original motor, that was
reworked, siting right in place. With the bottom end completely
gone thru and put back together with all new parts it runs smoother
than anyone I have been in. Bored .030 over the 355 CID gives the
car quite a bit more bottom end grunt. With a set of Keith Black
pistons, slightly larger cam, and a freshened up set of heads, this
small block is putting out way more power than original. Of course,
more power more heat so the cooling system was completely
overhauled ensuring that the freshly built motor would last for
years to come. The transmission and rear end are in excellent
condition and have just been recently serviced. Of course, if it
runs good it needs to stop good and with the all new brakes on all
4 corners this Vette stops just like it should. With the power
steering components being replaced, turning into a parking spot or
just carving a back-country road makes life easier. Open the door
and you will see one of the cleanest interiors and with it all
being practically new it should be. The seats, carpet, and door
panels are all new in the car and help to put this one above many
on the market today. Even the wiper system was completely redone
making for just an all-around solid running and driving car. If you
have wanted a classic 25th anniversary but not too keen on the
silver this dark blue is great route to go. Options on this 1978
Chevrolet Corvette include; AC, AM/FM Radio, Leather Interior,
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Seat Belts, both sets of T Tops, and
Radial Tires with Raised White Letters wrapped on Steel wheels with
Beauty rings. This gorgeous 1978 Chevrolet Corvette can be seen,
