Default 78 Silver Anniv

Bought this vette in 1979 with 9000 miles on the OD.,....first road trip was up US 1 to Crater Lake Oregon...then south down Hwy 49 in Calif...been to Montana, Virginia and all points between..

Vette has been raced, but mostly road tripped...

very cool congrats on the purchase 109,000 miles is very low for a car as old as these! glad to see you are driving and road tripping with it! these cars should be taken on long hauls more often than they are! keep the pictures coming all threads should have more pics
