Vehicle Description
A 1978 Chevrolet Corvette in its cool two-tone silver anniversary
colors, T-tops, A/C, four-speed, and a numbers-matching L82 heart.
So yes, this already has everything you want in a '78, and that's
before you even notice the affordable price.
The fastback roofline was new for '78. 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. The two-tone silver on the 25th Anniversary Corvette is
still one of the most handsome combinations to come out of the
1970s. 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 looks like a custom
paintjob, which is why it has remained one of the most
sophisticated themes ever applied by General Motors. And yes, we
even suspect this to be factory original! This even has nice
details, like the correct 25th anniversary badging and optional
polished aluminum wheels. So it's a highly-correct survivor-style
presentation.
The Oyster leather interior has a nice clean look against the
silver exterior. This bright interior trim is repeated on the door
panels, center console, carpets, and even the steering wheel is
wrapped in the same white leather. You have nice features, like the
factory AM/FM stereo with 8-track and a tilt/telescoping steering
wheel. Plus, the T-tops love to put the wind in your hair, and the
recently serviced R134a air conditioning makes sure it's always
cool. If this sounds like an awesome driver, then we know you'll
love the C3's full gauge package. And that shifter is just calling
out for your right hand.
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 17% more horsepower than the standard Corvette
V8. But this one goes even further with an upgrade to Hooker
headers that means a much deeper sound out of the dual exhaust and
an extra dose of power over the other L82 Anniversary Edition cars
out there. In fact, just in town driving is fun as you develop a
sold hit of power low in the rev range that gets your heart racing
and the dual exhaust growling. Plus, while most came with automatic
transmissions, this one gives you the most out of the V8 with the
control of a four-speed manual. Add in power steering, the fully
independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, and you'll
understand that this Corvette is for drivers.
The way this looks tells that they wanted to preserve something
special, and the way this one fires up and drives affirms its
careful life. The sale even comes with title documentation, owner's
manual, and car cover. So you know this is a terrific classic
offered for a gone-tomorrow price. Call today!!!
