Description

1978 marked Corvettes 25th year of production and was celebrated by the most extensive redesign since the 1968 model. The new fastback rear end styling featured a large rear window, but not a hatchback. The change created significantly more luggage space behind the seats. The interior was also significantly redesigned. The speedometer and tachometer were redone in a more square, vertical mode. A glove box was added, inner door panels were completely new and featured screwed on arm rests instead of the molded-in style common to Corvettes since 1965. This particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is a very highly optioned L82 / Silver Anniversary Edition that retains its original colors. The car has benefited from a restoration in the last few years to bring it to the standard you see today. Under the hood the car retains its correct parts that include the Rochester Carb (917058228), Distributor (1103291) and Alternator (1102908). This is a very highly optioned car that includes power windows, power locks, A/C, T-Tops, Silver Anniversary paint and L82 engine package. The correct Anniversary Edition paint is in excellent condition with no major imperfections. The only things we have found are a few spots or touch up. The front and rear bumpers both show well with no damage showing to either. The body is very straight and all doors shut tight with good gaps all around. The same goes for the T-Tops which seal tight. Inside, the carpet appears to be newer for the car and in great condition. The Oyster seats are equally as nice with no staining or tears. The same goes for the door panels, steering wheel and dash. All lights, blinkers, power windows and wipers work with no problems. The A/C does blow cold. Under the hood, the 350 Cu In V8 runs great. We have checked the numbers on the car and it appears that this is a correct, GM replacement block. All other numbers on the car match and are correct. These include the Rochester Carb (917058228), Distributor (1103291) and Alternator (1102908). This is an original A/C car and it is currently blowing cold. The underside of the car is solid and is free of any damage. The correct wheels look great and are wrapped with Good Year Eagle ST's that have good tread life all around. The current mileage shows 44,222 and the VIN number is 1Z8748S417571. The car is being sold on a clean Pennsylvania title showing that the car has been in the state since 1982.
