1978 Chevrolet Corvette

1978 Corvette four Speed with A/C

1978 Chevrolet Corvette • 59,481 Original Miles • Factory 4-Speed • A/C • Glass T-Tops

There are plenty of C3 Corvettes on the market—but very few combine low original mileage, a desirable factory 4-speed manual transmission, long-term ownership, and meticulous maintenance like this one.

Finished in timeless black over a beautiful white interior, this Corvette has traveled just 59,481 original miles and has been owned by the same enthusiast since 2011. During his ownership, the car has been religiously maintained, with reliability and drivability always taking priority.

This is the kind of Corvette you buy because you want to drive it, not spend your weekends working on it.

Highlights Include:

* Factory 4-speed manual transmission—the enthusiast's choice and far less common than the automatic.
* Factory air conditioning.
* Desirable glass T-Tops.
* Just 59,481 original miles.
* Same owner since 2011.
