Vehicle Description
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Edition sustains its
desirability well after America's sports car celebrated its
quarter-century in production. With its numbers-matching L82 V8,
four-on-the-floor, distinct two-tone paint, T-tops, and loaded A/C
interior, it's a great driver's car that knows how to get
everywhere with distinction.
The 1978 C3 is a sought-after coupe. This was the first year of the
fastback styling. It redefined the C3 and helped usher in a sleeker
and more modern overall design. Plus, the trim tag tells us this is
the special Silver Anniversary spec. It has an elegance that looks
like a custom paint job, but it came directly from General Motors
for this one year only. It's even nicely detailed with the painted
pinstripe making for a tasteful dividing line for the two-tone
silver. Plus, there are more stripes outlining the best piece like
the rounded fenders and cowl hood. It's a driver-quality fit and
finish, and that means it's driver-ready to take out on a whim. So
you have a nice Sunday driver with a memorable style. It has the
right look for those who want to do carefree driving in their
classic. And an overall appeal of good body lines and complete
fundamentals that are attractive no matter how you plan to motor in
this coupe.
The black interior looks great radiating from the silver exterior,
so it feels great just to sit down and grab the three-spoke
steering wheel with your left hand and row through the gears with
your right. But for those times when you just want a mellow
journey, this Corvette also obliges. It has a long list of
desirable comfort features that include, leather upholstery, power
locks, power windows (the passenger side will need servicing,) a
tilt/telescoping steering column, and an updated AM/FM/cassette
stereo. And the air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a
refrigerant. So it's ideal to take the T-tops out - even in the
summer - and let the wind whip through your hair on a sunny
day.
The engine is the numbers-matching L82 350 cubic-inch V8. It looks
great in the engine bay with a very original style appearance,
including the dual air intake tubes and finned valve covers. This
higher compression motor was a must-have for the performance fans
in 1978 because it offered 18 percent 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. Plus, while most came with automatic transmissions, this
one gives you the most out of the V8 with the control of its
numbers-matching four-speed manual. Add in good anytime features
like the fully independent suspension power steering, wide BF
Goodrich T/As, and four-wheel power disc brakes, and you can
understand why this is such a great driver's classic.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a stick-shift, 25th
Anniversary Edition T-top coupe. It's a distinctive classic with
the right originality and driver-ready style. Call now!
