Vehicle Description

1978 Chevrolet Corvette

1968 was a big year Corvette. Building on their already popular reputation the body and interior styling was completely redesigned. While some of the mechanical components carried over from the previous generation the C3 introduced some bold changes like integrated T-Tops giving even the Coupes a convertible feel. This open air flow style roof had never been seen in an American Sports car previously and proved that Corvette wasn't going to shy away from new innovations. The flattened nose really draws inspiration from the "Stingray" name and its sporty appearance was popular among automotive enthusiasts. In 1979 Corvette hit a new sales record with 53,807 being produced. 1978 marked the 25th anniversary for Corvette and were dubbed the Silver Anniversary edition. Freshening up the look for the occasion these cars featured a new fastback style rear window and wore the Anniversary emblems. This nice '78 has been kept looking original and has been well maintained. The body is in good shape throughout as is the Silver paint. The car has those iconic vacuum operated headlights up front and double taillights in rear which are all functioning properly. The car sits on the original style Aluminum wheels with Corvette center caps and are wrapped in Kenda Radial Klever H/P tires.

Mechanically the car is very sound and runs down the road well. It is believed to be the original 350 ci motor and it has a very stock look under the hood. Backing the engine is a 4 speed manual that shifts smoothly with no problems. The brakes/suspension are the stock set up and the power brakes and power steering make it a nice comfortable driver. The car sounds good with dual exhaust that exits below the rear.

The interior of the car is finished out in Red and Black upholstery. It has all been redone and is in great condition. The two tone combination gives it a unique look that contrasts with the Silver exterior nicely. The factory center console houses the emergency brake handle, power window controls, shifter, and the AC/Heat controls. Moving into the dash you will find the original AM/FM stereo, stock gauges, and the inset vents. Behind the bucket seats it is all nicely carpeted and is where you will find additional storage wells along with the battery compartment to hide the Duralast Gold battery out of the way. These cars also came equipped with a retractable privacy shade to keep all of your valuables out of sight and out of the sun.

This nice Corvette is a good driving classic and being a Silver Anniversary car makes it unique among a lot of the C3s.

This vintage Vette is being offered up at the very reasonable $17,500.00!
