Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars is proud to digitally present this 1978
Chevrolet Corvette in its cool two-tone silver anniversary colors,
T-tops, and four speed manual transmission. The fastback roofline
was new for '78. It not only improved aerodynamics but increased
cargo capacity, and in the process, these 78 Corvette's launched a
new era for the third-generation coupes. The two-tone silver on the
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. 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 Black 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 black leather. You have
nice features, like a AM/FM stereo, anti-theft system, power locks,
and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Plus, the T-tops love to put
the wind in your hair. This beauty sits on 15" wheels wrapped in
255/60/15 Cooper Cobra tires. If this sounds like an awesome
driver, then we know you'll love the C3's full gauge package.This
Vette is fun to drive - as you develop a sold hit of power low in
the rev range that gets your heart racing and the dual exhaust
growling. Add in power steering, the fully independent suspension,
and four-wheel power disc brakes, and you will understand that this
Corvette is for drivers. The way this looks tells that they wanted
to preserve something special, and the way these fires up, and
drive affirms its careful life.
