This Corvette is equipped with a L48 350 engine and a 4-speed manual transmission with white exterior paint and a red leather interior. It has 399 original miles supported by the current title. Also, included in the sale are several original records from Carl Chevrolet. These can be seen in the photo gallery. Also included with the sale are the original air filter and Delco Freedom battery.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after this vehicle was bought new an aftermarket undercoating was applied for protection purposes being an east coast car. You can still find undercoating on the original oil filter as seen in the photo gallery. The vehicle was then parked and stored in a Connecticut garage for several decades. The original paint suffered some staining due to its storage conditions. A new paint job was performed in 2023 and came out beautifully. Other recent work included a rebuilt water pump, brake calipers, master cylinder, radiator, and carburetor. The vehicle starts and runs well however the original tires should be replaced if you plan on driving this vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Key Highlights;<br \/>\n&#8211; 399 Actual Mileage Garage Find 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe<br \/>\n&#8211; Bought new in Carl Chevrolet in Enfield, Conn.<br \/>\n&#8211; Extensive collection of paperwork from the original sale<br \/>\n&#8211; L48 350cid 5.7L V8 engine<br \/>\n&#8211; 4-speed manual transmission<br \/>\n&#8211; Power steering<br \/>\n&#8211; Power brakes<br \/>\n&#8211; Power windows<br \/>\n&#8211; Factory A\/C<br \/>\n&#8211; Original Goodyear tires<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1784134\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/30222003\/ZG2FSO2F2J2FENFUZWNSVISRM7.jpg\" alt=\"1978 Chevrolet Corvette 399 Original Mile | Garage Find | 4-Speed\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1784184\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/30222113\/7C2FED2FZ22FVO2JCZYRWWQ7VJ.jpg\" alt=\"1978 Chevrolet Corvette 399 Original Mile | Garage Find | 4-Speed\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1784188\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/30222118\/HL2FHN2FBK2FCIXALUKKPE8G9T.jpg\" alt=\"1978 Chevrolet Corvette 399 Original Mile | Garage Find | 4-Speed\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1784168\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/30222050\/WW2FEU2FQS2FOH6FCXVP5XAGQX.jpg\" alt=\"1978 Chevrolet Corvette 399 Original Mile | Garage Find | 4-Speed\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette was bought new at Carl Chevrolet in Enfield, Connecticut on April 17, 1978.
