1978 Black Corvette Black Interior L82 4spd For Sale For more information: https://www.hobbycarcorvettes.net/corvette/1978-black-corvette/ CASH PRICE: $ 27000 Transmission: Manual Engine: L82/350 Mileage: 27,956 Original Details This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is a standout survivor with just 27,956 original miles and a desirable numbers-matching L82 350 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Retaining much of its factory character, this Corvette features mostly original paint, a well-preserved black leather interior, and original components including the valve covers, air cleaner assembly, ignition shielding, and interior trim. Finished with alloy wheels, Gymkhana suspension, and factory options like power steering, power brakes, crank windows, tilt and telescopic steering column, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD player, it’s a nicely equipped example of a late C3. Owned by the same enthusiast since 2016, this Corvette has been garage-kept and well maintained. The previous owner installed a Borgeson steering upgrade, enhancing drivability without compromising originality. During our service, we changed the oil and filter, checked and lubricated the chassis, and replaced the idler arm, tongue bushing, and water pump, among other updates. Mechanically solid and visually impressive, this Corvette runs, drives, and shifts exceptionally well, delivering the performance expected from the L82 high-output engine. With its classic styling and low original mileage, it’s a great car to enjoy now and preserve for the future. Adding to its appeal are its production stats: out of 46,776 total Corvettes built in 1978, only 4,573 were finished in black, 12,739 were equipped with the L82 engine, 9,845 came without power windows, and just 8,162 featured a 4-speed manual transmission — making this example a rare combination of performance and originality. In hopes of further honoring Corvette this year, Chevrolet had reached out to Indianapolis Motor Speedway and negotiated for Corvette to serve as the pace car for the 1978 running of the Indianapolis 500. This provided Chevrolet an incredible opportunity to showcase not only Corvette’s one of a kind look, but also its impressive performance.
