Just imagine yourself in 1978, driving this Corvette on a coastal road. With a car like this, you were probably the most noticed person in traffic as the vehicle attracted just as many stares back then as it does today. This particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe belongs to the C3, or the third generation of the Corvette, which debuted in 1968. The C3 was also notable for being driven by the astronauts from Apollo 12. Now you can experience a glimpse of what they had with this alluring specimen that has only done 48,000 miles. To make sure you can enjoy the car without worries, a number of new upgrades have been installed as well.
A simple and elegant white exterior paint that is reported to be new veils this car and helps contrast every sharp edge and smooth curve on its body. If you look closely, you can notice the Chameleon-style color-changing flames design that dominates the front fascia and continues to the sides of the car. The pop-up headlights that house two lights on each side are concealed to maintain the car's slick appearance. The removable T-tops that appeared on Corvettes during the ‘60s are a noticeable feature in these cars. They are said to be original and have received new seals for better weatherproofing. This car rides on independent front suspension with coil springs and independent rear suspension with transverse leaf springs. It is equipped with 15” wheels that are clad in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Once you get inside, you immediately notice that this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a driver's machine. In front of the steering wheel are analog gauges, and you can find more on the center console. According to reports, this interior retains its original radio and has new carpeting from Eckler's Corvette and a new console.
Under the hood of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe rests a 350 cu in (5.7 L) L82 V8 that churns out 220 horsepower. It sends power via a 4-speed manual transmission and utilizes a newly installed battery. The much needed stopping power is courtesy of front & rear disc brakes.
