What do you do when you’ve created a hit and its 25th birthday is coming up? A Silver Anniversary edition! That’s precisely what Chevrolet did with the 1978 model year of the Corvette, celebrating 25 years of producing America’s sweetheart sports car. Unlike limited edition production runs, all 1978 ‘Vettes got the Silver Anniversary treatment. Isn’t that nice? Here’s one of those cars on sale, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary in our inventory with just 16,500 miles run. It’s a numbers-matching vehicle for added authenticity and has reportedly been recently serviced.
Exterior and Interior
By 1978, the distinctive Mako Shark-inspired lines were ten years old as the C3 debuted way back in 1968. Chevrolet responded for the Silver Anniversary model by introducing some styling tweaks, the most dramatic of which was a restyled fastback rear window. This actually improved aerodynamics and increased luggage space, making it a win-win. Also special for 1978 was the Bill Mitchell introduced silver and gray two-tone paintwork as witnessed on this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary, as well as special nose and fuel door emblems to commemorate this milestone. You’ve got removable T-Tops as well for open-air motoring at will, and they neatly stow in the trunk so no need to leave them at home. The muscular stance is further enhanced by the period alloy wheels wrapped in thick Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The interior on this ‘Vette is in a refreshing shade of white, for two occupants to enjoy. Corvettes always came well equipped, and this one packs air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors and an 8-Track stereo. There’s even a selection of 8-Tracks in the glovebox of Queen, The Doobie Brothers, Moody Blues and Bob Seger, while the deck itself has The Kinks in it. We don’t know if they still play though – that’s up to the new owner to discover.
Engine
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary is equipped with a 350ci (5.7L) V8 that put out 185hp, good for zero to sixty in under 8 seconds, and a top speed of 123mph when paired with the automatic transmission that sends drive to the rear wheels. Remember, this was the Seventies, when emissions regulations really strangled these monster engines to produce low power figures. However, they are massively tunable to produce much more than the stock figures.
The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette marked the beginning of the third-generation Corvette, introducing the dramatic bodywork that would define the model for years to come. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible captures that early C3 character with its Rally Red finish, open-top configuration, and classic 327ci V8 power. Showing approximately 42,647 miles, it is equipped with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and comes with both a black convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hardtop. Period-inspired details such as a wood-rim steering wheel sit alongside American Racing chrome wheels and select aftermarket components, giving this Corvette a distinctive enthusiast-oriented presentation.
Mid-engine proportions, open-air capability, and serious performance hardware give this 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT the presence of something far more exotic than a traditional American sports car. Showing approximately 6,003 miles, this Rapid Blue example is equipped with the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift system, Competition Sport Bucket Seats, and a performance exhaust, creating a particularly well-optioned C8. Sterling Silver dual racing stripes, matching fender hash stripes, Carbon Flash Metallic accents, and bright red brake calipers further sharpen the visual impact, while the 3LT trim brings the cabin up to the Corvette’s highest luxury specification for the model year.

An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.
This 1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has the look of a proper custom street truck and the hardware to make good on it. Showing just 475 miles, it packs a 6.2L LS3 V8, electronic fuel injection, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic, and a Ford 9-inch rear end into one seriously reworked classic Chevy platform. A custom frame, aftermarket suspension setup, and 4-wheel disc brakes give the truck a far more modern foundation underneath, while the black paint and copper-finished wheels bring the kind of stance and attitude that make a build like this hard to ignore. It is the sort of C10 that appeals as much to the person who wants to inspect every detail at a show as it does to someone who simply wants to fire up an LS-powered classic and enjoy the drive.
