Overview of 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr For Sale by Owner

Chevy's Corvette is one of the most sought-after classic cars in America. That's because there's a Corvette for everyone. For many, the third-generation, or C3, is one of the most desirable. Produced between 1968 and 1982, the C3 introduced the Mako Shark-inspired styling and weathered the Malaise Era with grace. Even during the worst of times, it was still the fastest American sports car around. Up for sale today is a nice 1978 Chevrolet Corvette that's reported to be a fully stock car. It appears in decent condition, too, and bears just 78,000 miles on the clock.

Exterior and Interior

This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette wears a white suit and comes with all the C3's iconic styling cues that were penned by Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell. You've got the desirable pop-up headlamps, quad taillamps, and emblems all in place. We also note an aftermarket 4-inch cowl hood that gives the car a sense of aggro. The car rolls on a set of period wheels with white letter tires and hub caps, and comes with the twin T-top removable roofs for some open-air motoring at will. Inside, we've got a two-seat cabin in blue, with white-faced dials and an aftermarket JVC head unit. The head unit adds USB and CD playback options, and plays through a set of aftermarket speakers located behind the seats. We also see the original climate control panel but are unsure of its functionality.

Engine

This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 350ci V8 engine that sends power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. This makes it a true driver's car, and you can always tune the V8 for more power. In fact, the current owner says that the car has received a new carburetor, and has received Flowmaster mufflers. Meanwhile, you'll be grateful for the power steering and power disc brakes on all four wheels, ensuring that handling and stopping power are suited to the car's performance.
