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.
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.
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.
Everyone wants a C8 Corvette. That’s because for the Corvette’s eighth generation, GM stunned Americans when they moved the engine from ahead of, to behind the passenger cell. That, paired with supercar-inspired looks and more performance capability, means that the C8 is a performance bargain for keen drivers. The C8 is also the first Corvette to be officially made in right-hand drive, and sold outside the United States, namely in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the United Kingdom. If you’re one of those C8 fans, we’ve got a car for you. Check out this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT Z51 from Virginia that’s done just 7,523 miles so far. The car also comes with the Z51 Performance Package, which dials things up even more.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3? This reportedly climate controlled garage kept 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Davie, Florida looks like an appealing buy. The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.
Blending classic American muscle with unmistakable Corvette styling, this fully restored 1971 Chevrolet Corvette offers both power and timeless appeal. Finished in vibrant Red paint with a freshly refurbished Black interior, this example located in Chesapeake, Virginia, delivers authentic driving excitement, thanks to its rebuilt 396ci V8 and engaging manual transmission. With just 1,000 miles on the rebuilt engine, this Corvette stands ready for the road or your next car show.
The Sixties and Seventies were a wonderful time to be of driving (or rather car purchasing) age. The Big Three, namely General Motors, Chrysler Corporation and Ford were fiercely competing for a slice of your income, by offering potent machines with amazing street performance, grunty V8s and a decent amount of family friendliness thrown in. Many of these machines competed in the full-size segment, as many buyers simply wanted a big car. One of the icons of that period was the Chevy Chevelle. A full-size contender, it was made between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. Today, getting your hands on a Chevelle is a dream for many because it’s a well-aged classic car that can, especially in potent SS form, still scare some modern metal. That’s why we’re glad to offer this Georgia-based 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu for sale to one lucky person. It’s a powerful symbol of a freer time when horsepower dominated everything else, and cars were really fun to drive. You didn’t have a myriad of electronic nannies; control was purely in your hands.
Being one of Chevrolet's most popular nameplates brings prominence to the original Chevelle. It was offered in coupes, sedans, convertibles, and station wagons. The Chevelle has some racing history under its belt as well. Its body style was used to win 34 races and win the first two of three consecutive Grand National championships. In 1966, two years after the introduction, the Chevelle was redesigned to reflect the "Coke bottle" body shape. This well-kept example of the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle flaunts this body style beautifully. We were told that this car features a few new details and components, including the engine and transmission. With only 3,256 miles done after the rebuild, this Chevelle is ready to be picked up from Topeka, Kansas.
