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.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Restomod LS3

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$199,992
SOLD

Chevy’s second generation or C2 Corvette is one of the shortest in the Corvette’s story. It saw just five production years, namely 1963 to 1967. Yet, the C2 is recognized as a defining moment in the Corvette’s journey, bringing features that endured for generations. It marked when the Corvette would forever be a V8-powered machine, and only have V8s under the hood. It brought pop-up headlamps to the party for four decades thereafter. Most alluringly, it created an achingly beautiful shape that modern Corvettes haven’t quite been able to pull off – they’ve all tended towards muscular and angular – or a combination of the two. Today’s 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a fine restomod that’s truly a one-of-a-kind machine. Sitting on a SRIII Motorsports Round Tube Chassis, this ‘Vette enjoys a 480-horsepower GM LS3 V8 with fuel injection, a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and so many other neat things. The current owner says that just 800 miles have passed since the build of this car was completed.

SOLD

Chevy’s C3 or third generation Corvette was around from 1968 right up until 1982. It weathered the Malaise Era with poise, remaining one of the fastest American cars during those dark times. Chevy kept updating and improving the C3 throughout its lifetime, too. This meant that even later-model C3s had plenty to offer. Take this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe as a prime example. It’s painted in lustrous Coca Cola red and packs the requisite 350ci V8 under the hood. Plus, it’s got under 10,000 miles and resides in Brownsville, Kentucky. Talk to us if you’d like to make it your own – because a C3 Corvette in good condition is a fine way to enter the world of classic American cars.

2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT Twin Turbo

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$79,499
SOLD

Chevy’s C8 or eighth-generation Corvette debuted in 2020 with a new mid-engined design, supercar-inspired looks and a new level of performance, overall. The new LT2 small-block V8 makes 490hp and 465lb-ft in stock form, which is a mild increase over the C7 on paper, but translates to vastly improved acceleration and drivability as a result of tuning and the new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox which the C8 comes with. But what if you want to make that naturally aspirated unit into a forced induction beast? Well, you get something like this 570-horsepower 2022 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT. Tuned by Elited South Tuning and fitted with a Huron twin-turbo kit, this rear-wheel drive beast could be yours. It’s up for grabs in Greer, South Carolina with under 5,000 miles on the clock. The original window sticker, two keys and owner’s manual are included with the sale as well.

1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne 10 Super

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,995

In the Seventies, trucks like this 1971 Chevrolet C10 plied back and forth across America’s roads, carrying cargo and supplies for countless small businesses and entrepreneurs. Essentially, these trucks were a significant part of the backbone of American commerce, in urban as well as rural areas. They were built tough and utilitarian, but had reasonable comfort to allow their owners to carry their families within the passenger cab as and when needed. This particular truck comes from the second generation of the C/K Series which ran between 1967 and 1972. IT’s got just 1,237 miles on it after some refreshment work, and is available in Spring, Texas. That makes it a fine classic truck to own and drive if you’re inclined towards such vehicles.
