Description of 1978 Chevrolet Corvette |
|
1978 Chevrolet Corvette which was the Corvette's twenty fifth anniversary, and all 78's featured silver anniversary nose and fuel door emblems. A newfastbackrear window was the most dramatic and noticeable styling change, giving the ten-year-old C3 Corvettebody stylea fresh lease on life. The fixed-glass fastback benefited both aerodynamics and increased the usable luggage space behind the seats while improving rearward visibility in the bargain. A shade was installed that could be pulled forward to cover the rear compartment to protect cargo and carpet against the unrelenting sun. The tachometer and speedometer were redesigned to match the new "aircraft styled" center console and gauge cluster first seen the previous year. Redesigned interior door panels were also new as well as an actual glove box was added in front of the passenger seat, replacing the map pockets of previous years. Available options now included power door locks, a power antenna, dual rear speakers and a CB radio.[5]The optional convenience group, introduced the previous year, now included intermittent (delay) wipers, floor mats, and the passenger side vanity mirror was an upgraded illuminated unit. The base L-48 engine generated 185hp (138kW); Those destined for California or high altitude areas produced 175hp (130kW). Gone was the chrome-plated ignition shielding over the distributor, replaced with a metal-lined black plastic unit. The single-snorkel air intake used since 1976 was changed to a dual-snorkel set-up on L-82 equipped cars helping to boost that output to 220hp (164kW). L-82 engines were also now fitted with an aluminum intake manifold which saved 24pounds compared to the cast iron unit of previous years. My Corvette is in great condition & runs excellent! Very throaty Flowmasterexhaust system makes this corvette not only have performance but sound good doing it. Amazing to drive, especially on corners it just hugs the road. has one small scratchon the right front fender very minimal that can be buffed out. Intake manifold leaks a little oil out rear of manifold gasket. Newer tires with after market wheels, includesA/C, AM/FM radio/cassette, removal able T-tops, cruise control, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power windows, tilt/telescopic wheel, seat belts, & black leather interior, Accel coil with Mallory ignition system, Holley Valve covers and Edelbrock intake for optimum performance. Comes with car cover, which was always used while in the garage. Exceptioinal beauty that turns heads everywhere you go. Please Call,Text, or Message Jeff 775-752-0619 |
