1978 Silver Anniversary 547 Miles
All,
I am prepping a 78 with 547 miles to go to Bloomington in June Then start the NCRS process. Question What was given to the customer / How was the 78 delivered to the dealer? This one has all the plastic on the seats, steering wheel, cardboard on the floor. Knock outs on the keys are intact. Ttop cover is in one of the storage compartments. Was there anything else besides books, warranty info given to the customer, dealer? This is a true one owner 547 mile car. Thanks in advance Chris |

Here is all the stuff that was given to me when I bought my '80. There is a tag that shows how to use the hazard switch. Also a sun visor sleeve that shows the turn signal and mirror operation. My glass t-top car had another sleeve warning about adjusting the t-tops. There also is an epa label that was affixed to the passenger glass next to the window sticker. My car was ordered with the CB radio and there are rules and application for a license to legally use the radio.

Thanks in advance Chris The blue purple hazard switch tag is usually the most difficult to secure and hang and makes it a rather complete originally delivered car. Check the spare tire tub and just check that have everything is in order...rubber lock boot, spare tire, dead mice removed? etc. :thumbs: Curious is the spare tire rim yellow or black? Build date? |
I do need the purple harzard switch tag (just bought one.....)
I will be dropping the spare to clean - I will get some photos It has never been down Another question - what was the original oil filter - this one was changed |
Little more about this car
It is the very last 1978 Corvette ever built It is also the last 78 Silver anniversary car ever built We have photos of the car on the assembly line being buillt from a bare body thru assembly |

csherman... I find this post absolutely fascinating! Please DO post pictures (lots of them) for those of us who can not make it to the event! I`d say good luck on the judging, but from the sound of it, this car is a "shoe-in" already!
KingRat...amazing collection of original paperwork & documentation! Some day I`d like to attend one of these events to see some of these original cars in person! (Retirement is getting VERY close...can`t wait!) |

My 1978 Final Process article just came out in the Corvette Restorer and would have loved to include your photo of a 78 on the assembly line! :cool:
It was the last 78 built ! |

It was the last 78 built ! Do you have any of the paint process or decal installation? |
here is a couple
I will post up some more https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...5e469d58fd.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...19a0e4691f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...621b8da88b.jpg |
The last is the most interesting. I note the following:
I'm wondering if this is just past second paint booth/bake and at the tag station where VIN and key codes were assigned? :thumbs: |
