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.

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.
