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.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail.

The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
