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.
This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray captures the timeless beauty and performance of the early C3 generation, blending elegant curves with muscular presence. Finished in Marlboro Maroon, it reflects the era’s passion for dramatic, flowing sports car design. The 1970 model year is a standout among Corvette enthusiasts — marked by one-year-only design updates, flared fenders, and reduced production numbers following the GM strike, making examples like this both rare and collectible.
1978 was a very special year for Chevy Corvette buyers. Firstly, it marked twenty five years of the Corvette, so every 1978 ‘Vette came with special 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition badging and a few special things to celebrate this milestone. Moroever, the Corvette was chosen that year to be the official Indy 500 Pace Car! So, Chevy rolled out yet another special. A special on top of a special, if you will. That’s what we have here, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition from Corinth, Texas, with just 15,355 miles on the clock. If you want a truly special C3 Vette that’s got quite a bit of eye-popping capabilities, this is your car!
The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette was introduced for sale in 1953, and ran until the end of the 1962 model year. It created the template for what would become America’s finest sports car, and today, is something that really makes Europe’s finest feel fearful. Finding a first generation or C1 Corvette isn’t easy because only 69,000 were made, and of course, way back then, it wasn’t considered a classic. That’s why we’re proud to present this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from St. Augustine, Florida. With its repaint in Roman Red, replaced brakes and stout V8 engine, it’s a fine car to add to your collection and enrich your life. We say enrich in the literal as well as figurative sense, because a C1 ‘Vette in great condition is always a savvy investment.
