Vehicle Description
A 1978 Chevrolet Corvette in its cool two-tone silver anniversary
colors, T-tops, A/C, and original L82 V8 heart. It has all the best
original features, and there are even some great upgrades (like the
five-speed) and it's all available right now for an outstanding
price.
The two-tone silver paint job on the 25th Anniversary Corvette is
still one of the most handsome combinations to come out of 1970s
American designs. It goes far beyond just coordinating two handsome
colors. It adds delicate pinstriping in all the right places,
including extra ones to highlight the C3's curvy styling along the
power bulge in the hood and the Coke bottle fenders. It was one of
the most sophisticated paint theme when new, and so if was a solid
investment when they gave it a respray later in life. But the
result is a car that looks great in the sunshine. There's also
louvers over the rear window to highlight the new fastback
roofline. It not only improved aerodynamics but increased cargo
capacity, and in the process, these special editions launched a new
era for the third-generation coupes. Spoilers front and rear give
this an aggressive appearance, and the final touch are the bright
15-inch alloy wheels that prove even a silver anniversary coupe
looks good with a little brightwork.
The black interior looks great thanks to all the right investments.
The bucket seats now have comfortable cloth inserts. Not only does
that look great against the plush black carpeting, but also this is
a terrific upgrade for those who like to drive with the T-Tops out
and wear shorts. Power windows, power locks, cup holders, and a
retro-style AM/FM stereo that has a modern digital tuner offer all
the right comforts. And the air conditioning blows cold with modern
R134a. But even with all these luxuries, nothing beats the feeling
of grabbing the three-spoke sports steering wheel, watching the
large speedo and tach, and gazing at the auxiliary readouts at
eye-level. And have you counted the gears on the stick shift
yet?
The engine is the optional L82 350 cubic-inch V8. This higher
compression motor was a must-have for the performance fans in 1978
because it offered 19% more horsepower than the standard Corvette
V8. Even just driving around town, you'll enjoy the solid hit of
power low in the rev range that gets your heart racing, and the
dual exhaust growling. And you have the ultimate control over this
with an upgrade to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission (the
original four-speed can also come with the sale.) Plus, this has
more great driving features, like the power steering, fully
independent sports suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes.
The sale comes with the original windows sticker, owner's manual
packet, plenty of paperwork, and all together it equals a great
enthusiast's sports car. The fact that it's within reach of
everyone should tell you that the 'Vette you want is already
getting plenty of attention from others, too. Call today!!!
