Few silhouettes in automotive history are as instantly recognizable
as the C3 Corvette, and perhaps no year captured the spirit of the
brand better than 1978. Celebrating 25 years of "America's Sports
Car," the Silver Anniversary Edition introduced the iconic fastback
rear window and a refined interior that redefined the grand touring
experience. This particular example is not just a survivor; it is a
meticulously curated piece of Corvette history. With only 32,000
original miles, this Silver Anniversary Edition has spent its life
as a prized collector's item, further elevated by an extensive
mechanical restoration that brings it to a standard rarely seen on
the market today. The exterior finish is a testament to the quality
of its restoration-the Silver and Charcoal paint transitions are
crisp, and the anniversary badging remains sharp and clear. The
redesigned "bubble" rear glass not only improves visibility but
gives this '78 a sleek, aerodynamic profile that still turns heads
nearly five decades later. Inside, the cabin is a time capsule of
1970s luxury. The interior features high-back bucket seats and the
updated dashboard layout introduced for the anniversary year. Every
gauge is clear, every switch is tactile, and the materials feel
supple and fresh, reflecting the low-mileage care this car has
received. Under the hood, the engine has been upgraded to a GM
Performance 350 HO producing 330 horsepower. The rest of the
drivetrain has been thoroughly serviced during the restoration
process, ensuring that the car's performance matches its stunning
aesthetics. Other improvements include a complete new braking
system, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, radiator & hoses and new
headlight canisters. To top it off, everything is sitting on new
correct wheels and tires. Extensive restoration documentation and
receipts will be provided upon sale. Whether you are looking for a
weekend cruiser or a centerpiece for a collection, this Corvette
delivers a smooth, now much more powerful, and authentic C3 driving
experience. Finding a Silver Anniversary Edition is common; finding
one with 32,000 original miles is rare. Finding one that has been
restored to this level of detail while maintaining its pedigree is
nearly impossible. This is a blue-chip investment for the serious
Corvette enthusiast. Inspections are welcomed and highly
encouraged. A 5% deposit holds the vehicle for seven days, pending
final payment. Air Conditioning
