1978 Chevrolet Corvette

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Edition. The 1978 model was the most redesigned Corvette in ten years and was also honored to be the official Pace car for the Indianapolis 500. The pace cars had their own vehicle identification number to eliminate cloning. The body lines of the C3 Corvette are accented in this case by the classic two-tone Silver on Gray color option. This Vette is easy on the eyes and the car has been restored to a high quality (at great expense might we add!). Everything from bumpers to seals lights and decals were replaced on the exterior to bring the factory look back. The L82 engine was rated at 185hp when sold new and is mated to a close ratio 4 speed transmission feeding a posi-traction differential. Aluminum wheels with B.F. Goodrich radial raised white letter tires hide disc brakes up front and a total suspension overhaul has this 1978 Corvette handling like a champ. Included in the interior options were air conditioning power windows/locks tilt/telescopic steering wheel and removeable T-Tops. The car currently has an aftermarket radio that has multi-function capabilities. The upholstery of this Corvette is truly noteworthy from the newly redone bucket seats covered in Oyster leather to the wood grain console and gauge cluster cover with stock instrumentation. Sure there are a few 25th Anniversary Corvettes out there but we challenge you to find one that has been upgraded and cared for like this one. Even after a quarter century of production the Corvette name still held its own in the American market and of course it has continued to do so.
