Garage Kept Motors) Garage Kept Motors is pleased to offer this
beautiful, and original Corvette Silver Anniversary. 1978 marked
the 25th Anniversary of the Corvette and to commemorate their
beloved Vette, Chevrolet offered their Silver Anniversary trim
package. The car was redesigned with a fastback look that included
a wrap-around rear window for more space behind the rear seats. It
also helped with visibility. It was the first two-tone Corvette
since 1961 and only 15,283 were built. This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette
Silver Anniversary Coupe is finished in unique Dark Gray/Silver
Metallic paint over an 'Oyster' interior. With the unique to the
special edition badges on the hood and fuel door. The car is
powered by the original L82 350 V8 with an automatic transmission
and rear-wheel drive. It also features power windows, Factory A/C,
AM/FM radio, tilt steering wheel, removable t-tops with storage
bags, power door locks, power windows, power brakes, power
steering, rear defrost, and 15-inch wheels with the original
original Goodyear Polysteel Radials still on it and in great shape.
To say the least, this car came rolling off the St.Louis Assembly
plant loaded with options. According to the original Bill of Sale,
this car was purchased by a customer by the name of Wilbur from
Houghton Lake Michigan, and was ordered by Ben Hodges Chevrolet
Oldsmobile of West Branch Michigan in October of '77. It was
delivered by the ordering dealership on December 22 of '77, so the
car ended up being a pretty sweet Christmas present for Wilbur.
Wilbur owned the car until his passing in 2017. When our client
acquired the car, the odometer showed approximately 5800 miles. All
the original documentation and brochures are present, including the
punch tabs for the keys. The car was extremely well cared for since
delivery, and our client continued to show extra care for this car
when it was in his possession. This one has always been garage kept
for sure! It is a nice running and driving example that won't break
the bank. These C3's, especially Anniversary Editions, are on the
rise in collectibility. Be sure to check out all the photos and
