Vehicle Detail

                                  1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary                                                                                                                                                                         Description                                                                                                               Odometer: 26,904                   VIN# 1Z87L8S436171                   Engine:  350 220HP V8                   Transmission: Automatic                                                                                                               The Corvette program for 1978 embodies the most extensive change since the introduction of the series in 1968. A new fastback roofline gives the car an even smoother more dynamic appearance, increased cargo space and improved rear visibility. The cockpit has an all new took. The 2-Door Aero-Coupe with lift-out roof panels continues as the single model offering. Higher numerical starting ratio for 4-speed transmission with standard engine gives increased low end performance. The Corvette interior is redesigned with a distinct feeling of spaciousness achieved with the new trim and the large sloping rear window. The Corvette luggage area is larger and more versatile by virtue of the new fastback roofline. Usable luggage capacity has been increased from 1.8 to 8.4 cubic feet. The new roofline makes the entire storage area more accessible as well. Fuel tank capacity is increased from 17 to 24 gallons, a gain of 41%. Assuming cruising range as the distance you can drive, starting with a full tank and refilling at five gallons, that's just short of an empty reading on the gauge, usable fuel capacity has increased from 12 to 19 gallons. That is an increase in cruising range of nearly 60 percent. * 350 cu. in.
