Exterior 1978 was a year of significant changes to the C3 Corvette. A new 'fastback' design which made for a smoother silhouette and answered criticisms of limited luggage space; owners now had storage similar to the mid-years Corvette coupes. The exterior is in great shape, the paint is a distinctive Silver/Dark Silver two-tone paint scheme consisting of dark silver on the lower body and light silver above separated by a dark silver stripe. It rides on Factory Aluminum wheels with BF Goodrich raised white letter tires and makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust system and rear tailpipes.
