The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette was the first Corvette to have the now
ubiquitous curved glass rear window since the 1967 model year. This
unique change gave the entire car a new look. Gone was the flying
buttress rear treatment of the 68-77 model years, and while it did
not open until 1982, it did give the 1978 Corvette enhanced
rearward visibility while also providing nearly three times the
available luggage room of earlier models and greater ease of
access. A retracting cover was also added to the rear compartment
to offer added security and protection from the sun. In addition to
the new rear window treatment, 1978 also represented the 25th
Anniversary of Corvette production. While Chevrolet did produce a
special "Silver Anniversary" edition Corvette to commemorate the
occasion, Chevrolet also decided that all Corvette's built that
year should also wear special commemorative badges front and rear.
The beautiful Corvette you see here is finished in Corvette Red
with a Oyster leather interior, a very unique and rarely seen color
combination. The outside of this Corvette is in excellent condition
and is set off by the addition of Chevrolet Rallye style wheels
with chrome trim rings and raised white letter tires. On the
inside, you'll find leather bucket seats, power windows, air
conditioning, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and an AM/FM radio.
An aftermarket cruise control set up has been installed to make
those long journeys easier. The interior is in great condition and
reflects the low mileage shown on the odometer. Under the hood is
Chevrolet's venerable small block L48 350 V-8 producing 185
horsepower and linked to a four speed manual transmission with
excellent spacing for spirited acceleration and low RPM cruising.
The rear differential has a 3.36:1 ratio with Positraction to get
you off the line in a hurry! Suspension is independent at all four
corners with coil springs up front and a single transverse leaf
spring in the rear. Body motions are controlled by tube shocks at
all four corners and anti-sway bars front and rear. Braking is
courtesy of four wheel performance discs.
This is one super clean, low mileage, great looking Corvette. It
has all the right options to make it fun to drive and great to
cruise in. If you are in the market for a beautiful C3 Corvette,
