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.
Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
By 1979, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a household name. After an initially slow takeoff in its first years, the Corvette soon became known as a serious competitor to the perceived luxury offerings from Europe. The C3 Corvette continued this tradition, with the underpinnings carried over from the C2 but with an all-new body and interior. The design was heavily influenced by the Mako Shark 2, which had been well-received on the motor show circuit. By 1979, the C3 Corvette had already been in production for 11 years. But thanks to continued refreshing, the C3 Corvette still had much to offer. Our featured car includes the desirable T-Tops and a host of new parts.
The C7 or seventh generation Corvette is the last of the front-engined brigade of America’s most-loved sports car. When the C8 dropped in 2020, it shifted to a mid-engined layout and went chasing baby supercars. That means cars like this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ are highly desirable items, future classics, and the best way to enjoy American power and handling. Bearing a mere 39,000 miles, this car is now up for sale, and you’d better act quickly if it takes your fancy.

Have you ever wondered what a 1930s Chevy would be like? Well, wonder no more, because we’ve got a 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod for one lucky buyer to get their mitts on. The Chevrolet Master series was introduced in 1933 and ran until 1942. It was available as a two-door coupe, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door pickup truck and a four-door sedan. The first two body styles included an external rumble seat too, for transporting passengers whom you didn’t truly like, but couldn’t decline either. Thankfully, this particular 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod doesn’t appear to have that, and everyone sits within its protected passenger cabin. The car has undergone a full restoration, and includes a healthy dose of modern parts too, hence the restomod tag.
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
