Background Story of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette

Overview of 1978 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.

2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT Z51 IMSA GTLM Championship C8.R Edition

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$104,999
SOLD

This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT pays direct homage to one of the most successful chapters in Corvette racing history: the C8.R’s dominance in IMSA GTLM competition. The C8.R marked a turning point for Corvette Racing, becoming the first mid-engine Corvette to compete at the highest levels of endurance racing and capturing the IMSA GTLM Championship in its debut era. This special edition translates that motorsport achievement into a road-going package, blending race-inspired visual cues with the full technological and mechanical advancement of the C8 platform. More than a cosmetic tribute, this configuration represents Chevrolet’s celebration of the Corvette’s transition from front-engine tradition to mid-engine modernity—an inflection point in the model’s 70-year legacy.

2008 Chevrolet Corvette Wil Cooksey Z06 427 Limited Edition No. 32

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$64,999
SOLD

Chevy’s C6 or sixth-generation Corvette was sold between 2004 and 2013. Designed by Tom Peters, the C6 was a comprehensive redesign of America’s favorite sports car. Out went pop-up headlamps, primarily due to tightened pedestrian safety regulations that made this iconic feature a nightmare to engineer. But that’s probably the only negative thing about the C6. Everything else is enduringly positive, from the increased passenger cabin space despite the shorter overall length of the car, the new and more potent V8 under the hood, the improved handling and dynamics, plus more good things. Chevy also brought out the Z06 as the successor to the C5’s ZR1 high-performance derivative. The Z06 came with a massive 427ci small-block under the hood plus several performance improvements. Today, we have a rather special variant, in the form of this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Wil Cooksey Limited Edition #32. Up for sale in Overland Park, Kansas, this car has done under 10,000 miles and comes with Wil Cooksey’s signature. Just 505 examples of this special edition were ever produced, making it quite rare. Who is Wil Cooksey? A legendary Corvette plant head who worked his way to the top and left quite a mark on the Corvette for years after his retirement in 2008.
