1978 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced in 1953, the Chevrolet Corvette had become America's most recognizable sports car by the time its silver anniversary arrived in 1978. While the latest C3 marked the car's 25th year and brought several notable offerings, standard models remained the backbone of the Corvette lineup. 

Offered only as a coupe, the '78 Corvette featured a redesigned the fastback rear window, replacing the previous flying-buttress design with a large wraparound glass hatch that improved both cargo access and visibility. Available power included the standard L48 350ci V8 or an optional high-output version. Buyers could choose a manual or automatic transmission. 

This Corvette is finished in red with removable T-top roof panels over a red interior with vinyl upholstery and red carpet. Highlights include an L48 engine, an automatic gearbox, four-wheel independent suspension, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, high-back bucket seats, a center console with storage, full instrumentation with tachometer, and an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette head unit. 

This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with a clean Florida title.
