1978 marked the 25th year of uninterrupted Corvette production since the legendary 1953 debut, and to celebrate, all 1978 ‘Vettes wore special Silver Anniversary emblems. The C3 generation was already ten years in the model cycle, and Silver Anniversary enhancements helped facelift America’s sweetheart sports car. If you’re after one of these, or a Seventies Corvette in general, we present this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary as a worthy contender for your bucks, and driveway space. It’s got just 84,320 miles and looks in good nick, inside and out.
Inspired by Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II concept car, the C3 entered the scene in 1968 and the wow factor at the time was insane. Here was a car that looked from the future! However, by 1978 the model had been around for ten years. The saving grace came in the form of the Silver Anniversary enhancements, such as nose and tail emblems, a refreshed rear window for the fastback, and a few other minor changes. This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary has all those, plus the iconic Bill Mitchell-sanctioned silver on gray paintwork, the first two-tone factory ‘Vette since 1961. Rolling on aluminum wheels wrapped in appropriately meaty Goodyear Eagle tires, the car looks purposeful even in 2022. The interior is in black and offers seating for two. It’s in good condition for the age, including gauges that still look clear and appear to be in working order as well. This ‘Vette has a few creature comforts such as air conditioning and power windows. The radio is a retro-modern ‘Corvette’ branded unit that plays through Pioneer speakers in the rear. Grip the three-spoked steering wheel, slot the cueball-topped gearlever into first and enter driving nirvana.
Packing the venerable 350ci L82 V8, this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary can certainly rock and rumble, and the seller reports that the previous owner installed a new exhaust as well. However, Seventies America was peak emissions control regulation time, and V8s were being severely strangled. That’s why this powerplant puts out just 220hp, however it was enough for Road & Track to record the zero-to-sixty of a 78 ‘Vette at 6.6 seconds, and hit 127mph flat out, which is quite decent. Power goes to the rear wheels via a four speed manual gearbox.
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible 3LZ is the European supercar nightmare. Half the price of a Ferrari while housing the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine to be used in any production car, this Corvette strikes fear when drivers catch a glimpse of it in their mirrors. The Z06 represents the superior iteration of the Corvette Stingray, and with the 3LZ configuration means this model is one of the highest trim level Corvette Convertibles you can get from the factory. With many premium additions and a mere 5,500 miles on the odometer, this 2023 Corvette C8 is ready to hit the streets with the top down.
America’s Sports Car, the Chevrolet Corvette, is not coming to an end; in fact, the cars are getting by every iteration. While the classic examples of the Corvette are highly desirable, the modern iteration of the model is the most powerful ever built. The eighth generation Corvette has been such a success that Chevy is reportedly building them until 2027. Up for the taking is a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe with a host of factory additions and a low 650 miles on the odometer.
For Corvette lovers, this is Genesis. The original C1 Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953 and was made for an impressive (by modern standards) nine years before its replacement was unveiled in 1962. Conceived to take on the might of the British sportscar industry, the C1 Corvette was an all-American interpretation of the classic two-seater formula. In 1955, the Corvette got an updated body, which was carried through to our featured car: a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that comes with a four-speed manual transmission and a 265ci V8 engine. This classic Corvette is ready for a new home. If you’re a lover of old-school American metal, then this could be the car you’re looking for.

The Chevrolet Master is an iconic example of pre-war design that looks just as striking today as it did in the ‘30s and ‘40s. The Master and Master Deluxe were the flagship models offered by Chevrolet and featured chrome trim and a well-appointed interiors. The Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe was aimed at professionals. It features a stylish two-door bodyshell and a large trunk to accommodate the needs of someone such as a traveling salesman. Our featured car appears to be an immaculate survivor. It encapsulates the period in which it was introduced and provides a new generation of car enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the charm of the era.
