Background Story of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette

Overview of 1978 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

1978 was a very special year for Chevy Corvette buyers. Firstly, it marked twenty five years of the Corvette, so every 1978 ‘Vette came with special 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition badging and a few special things to celebrate this milestone. Moroever, the Corvette was chosen that year to be the official Indy 500 Pace Car! So, Chevy rolled out yet another special. A special on top of a special, if you will. That’s what we have here, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition from Corinth, Texas, with just 15,355 miles on the clock. If you want a truly special C3 Vette that’s got quite a bit of eye-popping capabilities, this is your car!

Exterior and Interior

Every 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition came with special black over silver metallic paint, sporting a distinctive red stripe as well as front and rear spoilers. That’s all present on this car, as well as dual sport mirrors, the iconic pop-up headlamps, and a set of 15-inch polished aluminum slotted wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. You’ve also got removable glass T-tops for that signature open-air driving experience when needed. The interior of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition comes with special silver interior trim, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks and a tilt telescopic steering wheel. You’ve also got a nice AM/FM 8-track stereo for that truly nostalgic feel to your music. As you slide into the leather seats and grip the sporty steering wheel, you’ll gaze at a proper set of analog dials that have none of the soulless nature of today’s digital gauge clusters. Now this is a proper car!

Engine

This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition comes with the 350ci L82 V8. It uses a Rochester 4-barrel carburetor and was factory rated to produce a reported 220hp and 260lb-ft of torque. A 4-speed manual transmission is tasked with sending drive to the rear wheels. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard for excellent stopping power. It’s no surprise that even though this was the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of America’s fastest cars.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$89,999
SOLD

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

PENDING SALE
$54,900

The Chevy Nova or Chevy II was made between 1961 and 1979, as a compact car for the North American market. Yes, in a world of muscle cars, pony cars and luxurious land yachts, the compact car was still carving out a name for itself. After all, not every family wanted or could afford the flashier, larger, sportier offerings. So, cars like the Nova offered mobility to countless individuals and families who would otherwise have to take the bus! That means a Nova as a classic car is a worthy choice to make. Today, we have a 1970 Chevrolet Nova for sale from Nevada with a 350ci under the hood, a TH400 to drive the wheels, a reupholstered interior and some nice customizations. You should seriously consider it if you’re in the market for a drivable classic.

“Tastefully done”, this is a line used in moderation within the world of automotive.

Present today is this lovely 1974 BMW 3.0 CS, it's a machine that can pass off as the poster child of “tastefully done”. Located in Delray Beach, Florida, and with just 27,088 miles on its clock, this classic BMW is a car that makes you look twice and might take up a significant portion of your day, lost in reverie.
