In real life the sound and power of this car is EXCEPTIONAL. It needs a better driver than me to show this car to its potential.   UNIQUE AND SOUGHT AFTER MODEL: 1978 is the renowned Silver Anniversary model celebrating 25 years of the corvette history. With several extras and the return of the famous C2 fastback, it stands out with large stunning corvette chevvy emblems not on any other model, and practically the extra roomy rear area. The phenomenal shape & style of the C3 is the most successful and popular of the corvette models. They were the most popular of all the corvettes and longest running model. Practically this means they are super easy and affordable to get parts for, although they are one of the most reliable models.  THE TUNED PORT INJECTION 350 V8 was the flagship performance Chevrolet engine of the 80’s. **PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR FULL DETAILS OF CONDITION for interstate and serious buyers ​Genuine Enq Phone Brett: 0409 47 8187 Less than an hour from Melbourne and Tullamarine airport. CONDITION DETAILS   MECHANICALLY: EXCELLENT- Runs, drives and sounds like an absolute dream– this car is quick! The sound and feel of this engine is exceptional -as you would expect with the reputation and power of a hot TPI engine. The Tuned Port Injection 350 V8 was THE flagship Chevrolet performance engine of the 80’s. It massively escalated the power compared with the 70’s Chev V8’s. The additional engine modification upgrades this car has had, including the cam, really maximise the power of this awesome engine. It feels and sounds super fresh, healthy and has incredible instant response. The previous owner invested in getting the engine set up right and optimised on the dyno and it really shows when you drive this car. (some receipts available) HUGE NEW ALLOY RADIATOR & TWIN THERMOFANS that work brilliantly AUTOMATIC 350 TRANSMISSION The awesome kick down functions brilliantly to really make this car super responsive and fun to drive. 4 WHEEL DISC POWER BRAKES– it stops super straight and quick. STUNNING ALLOY AMERICAN RACING RIMS in excellent condition 4 NEAR NEW BF GOODRICH TYRES with 80-90% tread. 255/50/16 all round FULL TRUE TWIN EXHAUST with 4 CHROME TIPS– give it an outstanding look and sound. Magnaflow Mufflers. SUSPENSION rubbers etc all appear in good condition POWER STEERING— feels great to drive, a very responsive and sensitive feel. GREAT ENGINE BAY look with Brushed steel rocker covers and the outstanding unique look of the “Elephant Trunk” runners of the TPI intake give the L98 an iconic appearance that’s renowned with Chevrolet performance enthusiasts.

Fibreglass in excellent condition. Spectacular mirrored glass Targa tops in great condition Dual front Pop up headlights that work fantastic. They have been upgraded to electric, instead of the old notoriously unreliable vacuum system. Engine cooling vents, side brake vents, etc look fantastic. Stunning large 25th anniversary corvette emblems on nose cone, rear petrol cap and the centre horn of steering wheel.   PAINT- STRIKING UNIQUE METALLIC PURPLE WITH BLUE PEARL UNDERTONES The photos do not do this car justice as its color is spectacular in real life. Paint overall is in great condition, is shiny and smooth. No fading and no significant large damages. Only odd small stone chip etc and a few in usual areas like on front spoiler. The inner door jams have been painted variably well in both black and purple. Close up there are small imperfections, swirls, faint scratches, touchups and a couple small paint air bubbles etc on the body so it is not a show car but still looks superb a couple metres away and makes an amazing impression as a daily driver or club car.
