Vehicle Description
1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary Edition
Why This Car Is Special
The Corvette was 25 years old in 1978 and the celebration was on.
All 1978s featured a commemorative badge (right) on the front nose,
a special two-tone paint scheme consisting of dark silver on the
lower body and light silver above separated by a dark silver,
factory alloy wheels, and performance tires.
We have a very nice 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary
Edition here at Skyway Classics that runs and drives well and has a
great presentation.

The red and black interior is very nice and shows well for its age.

T-Tops, Speedometer & Tachometer, Gauges, Console, aftermarket

Exterior
1978 was a year of significant changes to the C3 Corvette. A new
"fastback" design which made for a smoother silhouette and answered
criticisms of limited luggage space; owners now had storage similar
to the mid-years Corvette coupes.
The exterior is in great shape, the paint is a distinctive
Silver/Dark Silver two-tone paint scheme consisting of dark silver
on the lower body and light silver above separated by a dark silver
stripe.
It rides on Factory Aluminum wheels with BF Goodrich raised white
letter tires and makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust system
and rear tailpipes.
Conclusion
The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary Edition we have here
at Skyway Classics is a must have for any Corvette collector but is
also a great addition to any collection.
It is one nice and quick Corvette you will love to take to shows or
just enjoy driving.
