ONlY 53,807 EVER MADE like this one!

Amazing condition with very impressive low mileage. This is a classic car to be proud of. The L82 that everyone wants is here, finally for sale, in Hawaii waiting for you at a giveaway price.

The L82 V-8 had a higher-lift cam, special heads with larger valves and higher compression, impact-extruded pistons, a forged steel crankshaft, and finned aluminum rocker covers.

The Corvette evolution continues! This is a must see classic Corvette.

Under the hood, the base engine received the dual-snorkel air intake introduced in 1978 for the optional L82 V-8, which added 10 horsepower.

The "Y" pipe exhaust system had new open-flow mufflers, while the automatic transmission received a higher numerical (3.55:1) rear axle ratio.

All Corvettes now had the high-back bucket seats introduced on the 1978 limited-edition Indianapolis 500 Pace Car.

A high pivot point let the seat backrest fold flat on the passenger side, level with the luggage area floor.

An AM/FM radio was standard but this baby has an upgraded Jenson CD system.

Corvettes had black roof panel and window moldings.

Buyers who didn't want the full Gymkhana suspension could now order heavy-duty shocks alone.

Standard equipment included the L48 V-8 with four-barrel carburetor, either automatic transmission or a four-speed manual gear box (close-ratio version available), power four-wheel disc brakes and limited-slip differential.

Other standard items included tinted glass; a front stabilizer bar; concealed windshield wipers and washers; a day/night inside mirror; a wide outside mirror;

an anti-theft alarm system; a four-spoke sport steering wheel; an electric clock; a trip odometer;

a heater and defroster; bumper guards, and a luggage security shade.

The standard tires were P225/70R1 5 steel-belted radial blackwalls on 15 x 8-inch wheels.

Corvettes had a four-wheel independent suspension. The bucket seats came with cloth-and-leather or all-leather trim.

The aircraft-type console held a 7,000-rpm tachometer, a voltmeter and oil-pressure, temperature and fuel gauges.

Seat inserts could have either leather or cloth trim.

Introduced: September 25,1978. Model-year production: 53,807 (Chevrolet initially reported a total of 49,901 units). Calendar-year production: 48,568. Calendar-year sales by U.S. dealers: 38,631. Model-year sales by U.S. dealers: 39,816.

For what it's worth, 7,949 Corvettes were painted this year in Classic White, while 6,960 carried black paint.

Only 4,385 Corvettes had the MM4 four-speed manual gearbox, while 4,062 ran with the close-ratio M21 version.
