**VIDEO OF THIS CAR DRIVING: SEE BELOW
All photos and videos taken at time of the advert.
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.

CONDITION DETAILS
MECHANICAL: 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)

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.
