- Description: Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this stunning 1978 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Silver Anniversary edition, finished in an elegant silver exterior with a sleek black vinyl interior. This iconic sports car, lovingly owned and maintained, is a true blend of classic style and modern enhancements.
Under the hood, the Corvette boasts a powerful 1973 Date Code 4 Bolt Main 350 CID V8 engine, featuring flat-top pistons, Edelbrock Performer heads and intake, and a performance cam. The powertrain is matched with a 700R4 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission, rebuilt by Bright’s Transmissions, offering an exhilarating driving experience. Additional performance upgrades include Hedmann HD ceramic full-length headers, a high torque mini starter, and a Borgenson power steering box with a 14.7:1 ratio, ensuring responsive and precise handling.
The exterior features the original aluminum wheels, painstakingly repainted in 2013 with pinstripes, and new weather-stripping was installed throughout. The windshield was also replaced during the repainting for a fresh, clear view. Inside, the Corvette shines with power windows, power locks, power seats, and new carpeting and padding complemented by Dynamat for added comfort. The telescopic and tilt steering wheel provides the ideal driving position, while the Custom Auto Sound digital stereo and Kicker speakers deliver superb audio quality.
Ride in comfort with the well-maintained C4 air conditioning system, blowing cold R-12 air, and Spall dual 11-inch fans keeping the engine cool. Other notable upgrades include Wilwood front brake calipers, a rebuilt differential by Ft Worth Gear & Axle with 355 gears, and a direct-fit four-row radiator. The radial tires and new wheel-bearing hub assemblies on both sides ensure a smooth and stable ride.
This Corvette is not just about power and performance; it’s also equipped with all the necessary amenities for a luxurious drive. The driver and passenger are protected with seatbelts, and the T-tops allow for an open-air experience on pleasant days. The low tint sunscreen on the back glass provides a comfortable interior temperature, further enhancing the driving experience.
