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 Ford Mustang is the longest-running pony car, but the Chevy Camaro is its longest-running segment competitor. Introduced in 1967, just three years after the Mustang, the Camaro came with a sibling in tow, called the Pontiac Firebird. After all, GM saw the potency of the pony car segment and wanted to fight with all guns blazing. You don’t often see an automotive conglomerate fighting a rival’s single model with a duo of their own. The Camaro traded blows with the Mustang until 2002, when it and the Firebird fell by the wayside. But the Camaro returned in 2010 for a second bout in the ring, which lasted until 2024. In total, there are six generations of Camaro, just one less than the Mustang. Today’s 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is particularly interesting as it's a first-generation car that’s a true Z28, not a tribute or aftermarket conversion. Furthermore, the vehicle has been restored and comes with a 40-page binder that reportedly contains all documentation. Under the hood, we're told this Camaro sports a rebuilt engine and is a numbers-matching vehicle. In short, it’s a veritable unicorn for a classic car collector – and it’s up for sale right now in Parrish, Florida.
