Description:1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Corvette performance has been improved with a dual snorkel air cleaner and new low restriction exhaust system and mufflers on the available L82 350ci V8 engine. The transverse rear leaf spring in the independent rear suspension has been widened to reduce stress. Two new transmissions were introduced in the 1978 Corvette. A new 4-speed manual transmission is standard. A new automatic transmission is available for the L82 350ci. V8 engine. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Corvette, the Silver Anniversary emblems are mounted on the nose and rear deck. Thx corvettemuseum.org For consignment, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 2,910 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car not only has a period correct L82 V8, but lots of new parts both inside and out to bring it up to roadworthy and show status. ***Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*** Exterior Like a fresh snowfall, Classic White coats the gentle hills and valleys of the Corvette\'s body like a gleaming blanket. No chrome bumpers or stainless trim to distract from the monochromatic coverage, but new emblems, including the 25th anniversary seal on the back, look sharp and modest black bumper guards create visual bookends to the flowing white fiberglass. The coke bottle profile is unobstructed by door handles, this one is on the upper edge of the door and flush, while the requisite fender vent is molded seamlessly into the sides. 15-inch slot wheels are in great shape with some curb rash on one. They are wrapped in newer tires, mid 2023 date code on front, mid 2024 date code on back. Aside from that wheel damage, we could find no other exterior imperfections. Interior If you were expecting red, you\'ll be pleasantly surprised to find Dark Blue on the interior where new carpet sets the palette which is also found on the door panels, both in great shape. The leather bucket seats are in nice condition also with only some wrinkles on the driver\'s lower indicating any use at all. The blue steering wheel shows minor use as well, but the dash, according to our consignor, is new and absolutely looks fresh. The aeronautical gauge cluster in the center stack is clean and hovers over an AM/FM/CD radio with Bluetooth, but it\'s back to the 70\'s for the A/C control panel with sliding levers and old school GM font. Due to exposure and use, the center console faceplate is usually scratched and worn, but this one presents cleanly and of course, housing the ball handled shifter, lying in wait. Blue carpet uniformly covers the rear cargo area. Drivetrain Under the hood is a clean and blue accented 350ci L82 V8 with newer items on board including cam, lifters, timing chain, water pump, fuel pump, carb and fuel lines, starter, hoses and belts. A remanufactured alternator has also been added. It\'s connected to a TH400 3-speed automatic sending power to the rear axle with 3.36 gears with Positraction. Power disc brakes are supplied front and rear. Undercarriage Super clean underneath for this American icon with no errant fluids nor surface rust to speak of. The knuckles are clear and there is no street grime build up anywhere. The newer dual exhaust flows from the X-pipe into a stainless system including the mufflers which sends out short exhaust tips that point downwards. There is no catalytic converter on the car. On board, we have new tie rods, shocks, springs, idler arm, and power steering hoses and the back includes a sway bar and new U-joints. Drive-Ability We do what thousands of people before us have done, take a seat in the Corvette and immediately imagine we\'re in a race car because all the tech, speed, and modern commuter cars can\'t provide this feeling of analogue engagement with a sleek sports car. Once on the tarmac, the well sort
