GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Stingray T-top coupe, finished in rare and desirable Frost Blue over a dark blue cloth interior. Combining the iconic styling of the C3 generation with a unique color combination, thoughtful mechanical attention, and a largely original presentation, this Corvette offers an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast who appreciates a classic American sports car with character and history.

Power comes from the L48 350ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission and Positraction rear end. Factory equipment includes power steering, power brakes, power windows, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, and aluminum wheels. The car also comes with both sets of T-top panels, including smoked glass and color-keyed tops, giving the next owner flexibility in both appearance and driving experience. The air conditioning has been upgraded to R134 refrigerant for modern-day usability.

This Corvette remains highly original, retaining most, if not all, of its original Frost Blue paint. The current enthusiast owner has enjoyed and cared for the car over the past 14 years, with considerable attention given to its mechanical condition. Recent work includes an engine and transmission rebuild, with the engine refinished in its correct factory color, along with brake service, new shocks, tires, rear spring, spark plugs, ignition wires, vacuum lines, and exhaust headers. The air conditioning system has also received upgraded connectors and lines to accommodate modern operating pressures.

Cosmetically, the original Frost Blue paint shows its age, providing an honest presentation that reflects the car’s history rather than a fresh restoration. The interior remains clean and tidy, while the engine bay is detailed and well presented. Behind the wheel, this Corvette runs and drives very well, with a strong-running engine and tight-feeling steering and suspension. The speedometer and tachometer function as they should. The odometer stopped working under current ownership at 94,949 miles, and the vehicle is estimated to have approximately 97,000 miles. It is being sold as mileage exempt.

The 1978 Corvette represents a memorable chapter in the C3’s evolution, with its unmistakable body lines and special 25th Anniversary styling making it a distinctive addition to any collection. This example stands out for its desirable color combination, long-term enthusiast ownership, largely original presentation, and extensive recent mechanical work. For the buyer who values originality and driving enjoyment over a flawless cosmetic finish, this Corvette offers the opportunity to preserve and enjoy a classic on their own terms. The decision to retain the aged original paint or pursue a cosmetic refresh will be left to the next owner.

If you’ve been searching for a distinctive late-’70s Corvette with classic American sports car appeal, a desirable factory color, and a strong foundation of mechanical care, this Frost Blue Stingray deserves a closer look.
