Seller's Comments

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to offer this aggressive 1978 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in a clean silver exterior over a black interior. Powering this C3 classic is a claimed rebuilt 350 CID V8 engine pushing an estimated 325 horsepower, enhanced with custom head work featuring larger valves, a performance racing camshaft, an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Holley carburetor, and Hooker headers feeding out through a rumble-ready exhaust. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a rebuilt Turbo 350 automatic transmission fitted with an upgraded stall converter for sharp off-the-line launch capabilities. Under the hood, maintenance and cooling upgrades include a new water pump, top and bottom radiator hoses, a fresh 195-degree thermostat, a new radiator cap, replaced heater hoses, and a newly added temperature gauge to keep tabs on vital stats. Stopping power has been completely refreshed thanks to a rebuilt rear disc brake system, new front brake pads, and a brand-new brake master cylinder alongside a fresh power brake booster. The exterior sits aggressively on black steel wheels wrapped in classic Corvette white-letter tires, complemented by glass T-tops overhead. Inside, the cabin features black vinyl bucket seats, power windows, tilt/telescopic steering wheel column, and an aftermarket AM/FM radio, along with a custom wood-grain accented dash. A/C system is present but may need a service to blow cold. Whether you're looking for a sharp weekend cruiser or an iconic C3 muscle car platform ready for the street, this 1978 Corvette delivers performance and style in equal measure. This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is listed by our Dallas Showroom and can be viewed in greater detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
