Background Story of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette

Overview of 1978 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

America’s Sports Car, the Chevrolet Corvette is a car that has been in production since 1953 with eight generations under its belt. The C3 Corvette which was produced from 1967 to 1981 is an iconic car with its Mako Shark design. Up for grabs is a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette with a reported 42,600 undocumented miles on the clock, with a svelte paint job and in excellent condition.

Exterior and Interior

A gorgeous mauve color has this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette been painted in with exclusive hand-painted pinstriping throughout the exterior and the interior. The front features recessed and hidden dual rectangular headlights, while the hood is host to a reversed hood scoop, and flanking hood vents with their grilles painted in black. The hand-painted pinstripe design is visible on the hood as well. The iconic Corvette crossed flags badges are located on each front fender. The rear of the Corvette features dual taillights with a pin-stripe design in the middle, a duck-lip style rear spoiler is molded with the rear bumper. The C3 Corvettes have the gas tank located where the trunk lid would generally be and has the crossed flag badge on the gas tank cap. The car sits on a set of vintage-style wheels painted in silver. The interior is done in a snazzy white leather design. On entry, you can see that the doors have frameless windows, and are also done in white. Pride of place is taken up by the all-white 3-spoke steering wheel with a black cross-stitch and the Corvette logo in the middle. The instrument cluster has the speedometer and RPM done in black. Auxiliary gauges are located on the center console, along with the A/C controls and original AM/FM. The seller reports that the A/C needs to be serviced to function again, and the T-top covers are included in the sale.

Engine

The heart of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is a 350ci (5.7L) V8 engine mated to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. The seller reports that they are unsure if the motor and transmission are numbers matching. The 1978 350ci is reported to have an output of 185hp. Disc brakes are available on all wheels for excellent stopping power, while the grip is provided by a set of Goodyear Eagle GT+4 rubbers.

1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$69,999
SOLD

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999
SOLD

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.

1960 Chevrolet El Camino

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$39,900

The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.

The Chevrolet SSR LS is a uniquely American performance pickup that blends retro-inspired styling with modern V8 power and convertible flair. Designed as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a traditional work truck, the SSR combines a retractable hardtop roof with a short-bed pickup configuration, offering open-air driving alongside utility-focused features. This LS-trim example emphasizes comfort, usability, and factory-installed accessories while retaining the bold character that made the SSR stand out in Chevrolet’s early-2000s lineup.
