Classic Car Overview
This particular example is not just a survivor; it is a meticulously curated piece of Corvette history. With only 32,000 original miles, this Silver Anniversary Edition has spent its life as a prized collectors item, further elevated by an extensive mechanical restoration that brings it to a standard rarely seen on the market today.
The exterior finish is a testament to the quality of its restoration the Silver and Charcoal paint transitions are crisp, and the anniversary badging remains sharp and clear. The redesigned bubble rear glass not only improves visibility but gives this 78 a sleek, aerodynamic profile that still turns heads nearly five decades later.
Inside, the cabin is a time capsule of 1970s luxury.
The interior features high-back bucket seats and the updated dashboard layout introduced for the anniversary year. Every gauge is clear, every switch is tactile, and the materials feel supple and fresh, reflecting the low-mileage care this car has received.
Under the hood, the engine has been upgraded to a GM Performance 350 HO producing 330 horsepower. The rest of the drivetrain has been thoroughly serviced during the restoration process, ensuring that the cars performance matches its stunning aesthetics. Other improvements include a complete new braking system, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, radiator & hoses and new headlight canisters. To top it off, everything is sitting on new correct wheels and tires. Extensive restoration documentation and receipts will be provided upon sale.
Whether you are looking for a weekend cruiser or a centerpiece for a collection, this Corvette delivers a smooth, now much more powerful, and authentic C3 driving experience.
Finding a Silver Anniversary Edition is common; finding one with 32,000 original miles is rare. Finding one that has been restored to this level of detail while maintaining its pedigree is nearly impossible. This is a blue-chip investment for the serious Corvette enthusiast. Inspections are welcomed and highly encouraged. A 5% deposit holds the vehicle for seven days, pending final payment.
