1978 was the Corvette's 25th anniversary, and all ‘78s featured silver anniversary nose and fuel door emblems. The fixed-glass fastback benefited both aerodynamics and increased the usable luggage space behind the seats while improving rearward visibility in the bargain. A shade was installed that could be pulled forward to cover the rear compartment to protect cargo and carpet against the unrelenting sun. The tachometer and speedometer were redesigned to match the new “aircraft-styled” center console and gauge cluster first seen the previous year. Equipped with the optional L82 350-cid, 220-hp V-8 engine with automatic transmission, it is well-optioned and has the B2Z option package which was the first two-tone paint option offered since 1961. It presented silver over a gray lower body with a separating pinstripe, plus aluminum wheels and dual "sport" outside mirrors as mandatory options. The Oyster interior is in excellent condition and shows little wear.
