Odometer displays 5,292 miles - oil change sticker recommends next change at 105,320 and that previous change was at 102320, suggesting that the odometer has rolled over VIN: 1Z87L8S431687 I reinflated the tires, which held air when filled, and plugged a trickle charger onto the battery, and attempted to start the car - the engine turned over, but did not start. I believe the gasoline in the tank is non-viable, but the engine does not appear to have seized. I think some general maintenance would get this car running The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Silver Anniversary Edition features a unique two-tone paint scheme, special badging, and a fastback design Paint & Trim: Two-tone Silver Metallic upper body and Charcoal Silver lower body separated by a pinstripe, costing an extra $399 with mandatory sport mirrors and aluminum wheels adding $380 Badging: Special 25th-anniversary crossed-flags nose and fuel door emblems, though every standard 1978 model also received anniversary nose badges Body Style: Debuted the C3 fastback wraparound rear glass and a redesigned interior dashboard Features a 3 Speed Turbo Hydromatic Automatic Transmission, and the L48 350ci V8 185hp engine Not currently in running condition.
