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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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 fourth-generation Corvette marked a dramatic leap forward for Chevrolet's iconic sports car, introducing cutting-edge technology, improved aerodynamics, and handling that rivaled many European competitors of its era. By 1986, the C4 had also become the first Corvette in over a decade to offer a convertible, while the coupe continued to showcase the model's unmistakable wedge-shaped styling and removable roof panel. This 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe shows 114,307 miles and is offered from Florida. Finished in White over a Gray leather interior, it retains many of the features that made the C4 a technological showcase, while benefiting from an upgraded Alpine Bluetooth head unit that adds modern connectivity to this classic American sports car.
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette ushered in the third-generation "C3" era, introducing dramatic new styling inspired by the Mako Shark II concept while retaining the performance pedigree that had already made the Corvette America's premier sports car. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette has traveled approximately 94,738 miles and is finished in the distinctive Corvette Bronze over a Brown interior. Powered by a 327ci V8 paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission, this classic Corvette offers an enjoyable blend of vintage V8 performance, timeless styling, and comfortable cruising. Equipped with desirable factory features including air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes, it presents an excellent opportunity to own one of the most iconic American sports cars ever built.
By 1995, the fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette had matured into one of America's finest grand touring sports cars, offering impressive performance, everyday comfort, and unmistakable styling. This 1995 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a well-preserved example, showing just 13,787 miles. Finished in desirable Polo Green Metallic II over a beige leather interior with a matching beige convertible soft top, this C4 is powered by Chevrolet's legendary LT1 V8 and paired with a sought-after 6-speed manual transmission. Whether you're looking for a collectible modern classic or an engaging weekend cruiser, this Corvette delivers the best of both worlds.
The 1971 Chevrolet Camaro marked the beginning of a new era for Chevrolet's pony car. While the second-generation Camaro retained its unmistakable long-hood, short-deck proportions, it adopted a more European-inspired design with improved handling and a driver-focused cockpit. This example has been tastefully transformed into a Z/28 Tribute, combining the iconic appearance of Chevrolet's legendary Trans-Am-inspired performance model with the added muscle of a Blueprint-built 383ci stroker V8. Finished in striking Viper Red with classic Black Z/28 stripes, this Camaro delivers the aggressive looks, V8 soundtrack, and engaging four-speed driving experience that enthusiasts seek from a classic American muscle car.
The 1954 Chevrolet 3100 is one of the most recognizable American pickup trucks ever built, celebrated for its Advance-Design styling and timeless proportions. While its classic lines remain unmistakable, this example has been comprehensively transformed into a modern restomod that blends vintage character with contemporary performance and drivability. Showing just 1,480 miles since completion, it features a professionally engineered chassis, upgraded suspension, fuel-injected V8 power, and numerous comfort amenities, making it equally suited for weekend cruising, cross-country road trips, or the show field.
The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most celebrated icons of the Tri-Five era, prized for its clean styling and endless potential as a performance build. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Sedan Restomod takes that timeless formula and elevates it with modern performance, upgraded suspension, and dependable drivability. Showing 3,790 miles on the odometer, the current owner reports approximately 800 miles on the current build. Offered from Florida, this Bel Air is finished in a striking custom two-tone Red and White paint scheme over a matching White and Red interior.
