Description:
A piece of Corvette history rolls forward in this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette finished in Dark Blue Metallic. Born during the 25th anniversary celebration of America\'s sports car, this C3 represents a rare breed – only about 18 percent of \'78 Corvettes came equipped with a stick shift, making this four-speed manual example a collector\'s find. The commemorative badges adorn the sculpted fiberglass body, complemented by the distinctive T-top roof design that offers open-air excitement without sacrificing structural integrity. LED headlights modernize the front end, activating with that classic vacuum-powered up-and-down motion that Corvette fans adore. The timeless profile sits perfectly on 15 chrome wheels wrapped in 225/70R15 tires. Blue leather dominates the interior, creating an immersive driving space worthy of a true American sports car. The supportive bucket seats position you perfectly around the center console where the four-speed shifter waits for your next gear selection. The factory AM/FM radio delivers crisp audio while the matching blue carpeting and door panels maintain the cohesive color scheme. The removable T-tops transform the driving experience at a moment\'s notice, while the five-digit odometer records your adventures behind the wheel. The leather-wrapped steering wheel offers precise feedback, completing this purpose-built environment. The 350 V8 engine has received substantial performance upgrades including flat forged pistons and a new camshaft, with reportedly less than 250 miles since the top end was enhanced. The engine breathes better through upgraded 64cc cylinder heads that replace the original emissions-focused units. Cooling comes courtesy of an aftermarket aluminum radiator with electric fans, while the dual exhaust system produces a satisfying V8 soundtrack. Power transfers through the factory-matched four-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels, with power disc brakes at all four corners providing confident stopping power.
