One of the biggest knocks on the Disco era Corvette's is the lack of power from the strangled 350 V8 engines. In 1978 for the 25th anniversary, you could get a 220hp option which was a nice upgrade over the base 185hp. The biggest exterior change for 1978 was a new fastback design and the removal of the rear flying buttress sail panels. Today's car really turns up the wick in the power department with an addition of a Procharger on a 383 stroker engine to the a claimed 580 hp. The stock three speed automatic has been swapped in favor of the later 700R4 overdrive unit. Find this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette for sale in Newfield, NJ for $18,500 via craigslist.
