Why This Car Is Special

The Corvette was 25 years old in 1978 and the celebration was on. All 1978s featured a commemorative badge (right) on the front nose, a special two-tone paint scheme consisting of dark silver on the lower body and light silver above separated by a dark silver, factory alloy wheels, and performance tires.

We have a very nice 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary Edition here at Skyway Classics that runs and drives well and has a great presentation.

The red and black interior is very nice and shows well for its age.

Exterior

1978 was a year of significant changes to the C3 Corvette. A new "fastback" design which made for a smoother silhouette and answered criticisms of limited luggage space; owners now had storage similar to the mid-years Corvette coupes.

The exterior is in great shape, the paint is a distinctive Silver/Dark Silver two-tone paint scheme consisting of dark silver on the lower body and light silver above separated by a dark silver stripe.

It rides on Factory Aluminum wheels with BF Goodrich raised white letter tires and makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust system and rear tailpipes.

Conclusion

The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary Edition we have here at Skyway Classics is a must have for any Corvette collector but is also a great addition to any collection.

It is one nice and quick Corvette you will love to take to shows or just enjoy driving.
