miles and wonderfully original inside & out!� It represents one of
only 6,502 built, and comes highly optioned with all the right
equipment!� Same previous owner for the past 22 years!� No Corvette
collection is complete without one! The timeless 1978 Chevrolet
Corvette is a remarkable example of what is becoming one of the
most rapidly appreciating segments in the classic Corvette market.
Representing the 25th Anniversary, and the first year for the
rounded glass rear window, the 1978 Corvette issued in a new era of
Corvette with a Fastback body and was the first major design
revision in 10 years!� Chevrolet was once again invited to pace the
Indianapolis 500, and the Corvette was the obvious choice!� Public
interest was immediate and sales were meant to be limited to only
300 examples, but in the end Chevrolet decided to have at least one
available for every dealer in the USA and Canada.� Final production
totaled 6,502 units.� All were dressed in Black & Silver paint
schemes with Silver leather interiors. This beautifully cared for
Corvette is equipped with the rare L82 350ci V8 4bbl high output
motor, automatic transmission, power steering, power 4 wheel disc
brakes, power windows & locks, Four-Seasons air conditioning,
Gymkhana suspension, Cruise Master speed control, Convenience
Group, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, rear defrost, original
AM/FM/8-Track radio, dual rear speakers, power antenna, sport
mirrors with driver remote, 15" polished aluminum wheels, heavy
duty battery, and raised white letter tires! Having been in careful
ownership from new, this stunning survivor has traveled only 19,078
miles from new! It showcases remarkable paint that was refinished
in the early 1990's and an all original interior without any past
restoration.� Included with the car are the original T-Top storage
bags, warranty booklet, owner's manuals, tire & battery cards,
consumer insert, and decal installation instructions!� This example
was parked in the marvelous Evergreen Historic Automobile
collection based in Lebanon, MO since May of 1995 as part of the
incredible Corvette display!� Their room features one Corvette of
every single year of production, and many limited editions such as
these Pace Cars.� It was only recently decided the collection
needed to be reduced in size, allowing this example to free up for
the first time in 22 years! It has been recently serviced to
include new valve cover gaskets, retuned carburetor, front caliper
hardware, new Cooper Cobra G/T Radial tires (factory original tires
included if wanted), recharged air conditioning, new power steering
cylinder, new water pump & thermostat, and all fresh fluids (brake,
oil & filter, coolant, transmission). Opportunities to purchase
collector cars of this caliber are exceedingly rare!� Please act
quickly and call with any questions!
