A piece of Corvette history rolls forward in this 1978 Chevrolet
Corvette finished in Dark Blue Metallic. Born during the 25th
anniversary celebration of America's sports car, this C3 represents
a rare breed - only about 18 percent of '78 Corvettes came equipped
with a stick shift, making this four-speed manual example a
collector's find. The commemorative badges adorn the sculpted
fiberglass body, complemented by the distinctive T-top roof design
that offers open-air excitement without sacrificing structural
integrity. LED headlights modernize the front end, activating with
that classic vacuum-powered up-and-down motion that Corvette fans
adore. The timeless profile sits perfectly on 15" chrome wheels
wrapped in 225/70R15 tires.
Blue leather dominates the interior, creating an immersive driving
space worthy of a true American sports car. The supportive bucket
seats position you perfectly around the center console where the
four-speed shifter waits for your next gear selection. The factory
AM/FM radio delivers crisp audio while the matching blue carpeting
and door panels maintain the cohesive color scheme. The removable
T-tops transform the driving experience at a moment's notice, while
the five-digit odometer records your adventures behind the wheel.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel offers precise feedback,
completing this purpose-built environment.
The 350 V8 engine has received substantial performance upgrades
including flat forged pistons and a new camshaft, with reportedly
less than 250 miles since the top end was enhanced. The engine
breathes better through upgraded 64cc cylinder heads that replace
the original emissions-focused units. Cooling comes courtesy of an
aftermarket aluminum radiator with electric fans, while the dual
exhaust system produces a satisfying V8 soundtrack. Power transfers
through the factory-matched four-speed manual transmission to the
rear wheels, with power disc brakes at all four corners providing
confident stopping power.
