| Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to offer this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette. Since its debut in 1953, the Corvette has set the bar high for American made sports cars in terms of performance under the hood and on the road in terms of handling, and this '78 is a prime example of how that is taken to the next level. Power comes from Chevy's legendary 350CID V-8 backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. This one benefits from upgrades like a rebuilt Quadrajet carburetor, new fuel pump, aluminum radiator and a high flow water pump. The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black leather along with a color-matching dash, center console, door panels, and carpeting. Interior amenities include a Sony AM/FM/CD radio, new sound deadening and insulation, LED dash lights, new T-top weather stripping, power windows, and air conditioning, along with all other options, are all operation. The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, fuel level and a clock are in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 63k miles, although true mileage is unknown. Corvettes in general have always been sought after as highly collectible classics and have really come into their own in recent years, and this example is no exception. |
