Chevrolet's C3 or third-generation Corvette had been around for ten years by the time 1978 rolled around to mark 25 years of America's sweetheart sports car. This called for some special treatment, and instead of doing a limited edition as would be customary, all 1978 Corvettes featured Silver Anniversary emblems. Only 46,766 were produced that year, making the Silver Anniversary 'Vette something of a collector's dream, especially low-mileage examples like this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary, which bears just over 45,000 miles on its odometer. Read on to find out why this car is not just a piece of American automotive history but a future classic and shrewd investment as a result.
Not all Silver Anniversary Corvettes came dressed in the iconic two-tone silver and gray paint job that this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary proudly wears. The color theme was the idea of the legendary Bill Mitchell shortly before he retired, and along with the aluminum wheels, it cuts a distinctive figure today. Pop-up headlamps, another Corvette mainstay, are yours for the taking with this car, as is its T-Top configuration, enabling open-top motoring at will without giving up the security of a proper, rigid roof. Step aboard the red interior that's reportedly been redone, along with the two seats, and you can see what a Corvette is all about. The current owner reports that the original leather will be included in the sale for added authenticity and that the seat belts and carpeting were replaced too. Furthermore, it's said that the steering wheel has been re-wrapped in new leather. Amenities include factory air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks. The current owner also reports that the factory 8-track has been removed and a Kenwood radio cassette player installed in its place, but the 8-track will be given with the sale.
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary comes with the L48 350ci V8 that put out 185hp when new, sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. If that seems low, remember that this was during the Malaise era when emissions controls severely constricted engine outputs. However, automatic-equipped cars were capable of 7.8-second zero to sixty sprints when new, and the manual variants were said to be quicker.
In 1963, Chevy introduced the second generation of their popular Corvette sports car and Americans went wild for it. While the first generation was groundbreaking, the second generation was, simply put, evolutionary. The coupe sported a new split-screen rear window that, sadly, had to be axed after just one year due to rearward visibility issues. No such worries with the convertible, which came with a slick metal hardtop that could be removed and kept at home. Today, we’ve got a nice 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for sale for the discerning collector or eager first-time classic car aficionado to purchase. This car hails from Rogers, Texas, and has covered over 75,000 miles in its life. This tells you everything you need to know; that it’s a car that’s truly worth driving and enjoying. Furthermore, this car comes with a reportedly numbers-matching engine and transmission, further elevating its collectible status.
The fifth generation, or C5, of Chevy’s immensely popular and much loved Corvette sports car was made between 1997 and 2004. It was the last generation to have pop-up headlamps, and is fast becoming a desirable modern classic. That’s because you’ve got ample power from its grunty V8, a slew of modern creature comforts, a refined driving experience and, above all, a car that can still show you a bucketload of fun on a race track. Today, we’ve got a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Nevada City, California for sale. This car is a bit more special than the rest, as it’s said to have been previously owned and signed by Craig Breedlove, an iconic American race car driver who sadly passed away in 2023. Breedlove has five world land speed records under his belt, and is something we should be proud of. Owning a car that was once his, would be a great way to pay tribute.
The current generation of the Chevrolet Corvette is great in its own right. It's a razor-focused track machine that saw massive changes to its power delivery and set up. While it’s all nice to clock some rapid lap times, one might argue that it has lost its all American Corvette touch. Ever felt that way? This 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ is the perfect blend of that old school Corvette vibe and new age performance. Better yet, this particular modern muscle has just a reported 25,206 miles on its clock.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
