a beautiful dark blue, C3, 1980 Chevrolet Corvette!

At the time, Corvette's chief engineer Dave McLellan (who succeeded Zora in 1975) and his team were very busy back then. With a slim budget, they had to design, engineer, and develop the all-new, fourth-generation Vette, as well as help bring an all-new Corvette assembly plant on line. Plus, for the last years of the C3 there were the ever-tighter emissions controls and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) rules that had to be factored in. While Corvette sold in low numbers compared to its steel-bodied Chevy counterparts, it had to pull its weight and improve. Although the '79 Corvette hit an all-time high sales mark, its styling was getting stale, and the 18-year-old chassis that was once revolutionary was now archaic. Plus, the Corvette Team had to keep America's Only True Sports Car exciting and fresh. A real fun job, huh?

In case you didn't get around to buying a new '78 Corvette back in the day, here's your chance to get a virtually new Silver Anniversary edition.

The Silver Anniversary was basically a paint option on any base model Corvette and featured a two-tone Silver Metallic over Charcoal Silver lower body paint job with a pinstripe to give more folks a chance to get in on the big celebration. Unlike the Pace Car that was limited to 6,502 examples, Chevy agreed to produce as many Silver Anniversary editions as the market would bear. As it turned out, a whopping 15,283 folks took them up on that offer.

This one is fully optioned including the...
