The all-new C3 was a resounding success, offering of new standard features (such as those T-Tops), hidden headlights, concealed wipers and a rear deck spoiler. The base 327 cube V8 out 300 hp. Engine options consisted of a high output 327 (350 hp), and several 427s, ranging in horsepower from 390 to 435. a href"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021972-Corvette-ad.jpg"img class"size-large wp-image-807 alignnone" src"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021972-Corvette-ad-754x1024.jpg" alt"1972-Corvette-ad" "610" height"828" aThis ad marketed the Corvette as a single guys car, and boasted that everything was standard except the gas even though things like AC, an AMFM stereo and leather seats were still options. Base engine was the 350, out 200 hp. Top of the heap was the 454, generating 270 hp. Even though these ratings were now net instead of gross, the times were a-changin, for sure. a href"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021975-Corvette-ad.jpg"img class"size-large wp-image-810 alignnone" src"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021975-Corvette-ad-739x1024.jpg" alt"1975-Corvette-ad" "610" height"845" aThe 1975 Corvette ad campaign focused on efficiency rather than lifestyle. HEI, catalytic converters, radial tires designed with less roll resistance. 1975 was the first year for catalytic converters, and the first year for a smoother, one-piece rear bumper for Corvette. The only available engine the 350, came in a multitude of variations (depending on transmission choice and options), ranging in horsepower from 165 to 205. a href"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021978-Corvette-ad.jpg"img class"size-large wp-image-811 alignnone" src"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021978-Corvette-ad-1024x692.jpg" alt"1978-Corvette-ad" "610" height"412" a1978 was the Official Pace Car year for the Corvette, and for the Silver Anniversary Edition. Check out this billboard ad. You could actually order a 21 foot by 10 foot high of this car in 12 easy-to-assemble sheets, for 11.50! Sole motivation were the 350 cube V8s, rated between 175 and 220 hp, depending on transmission choice and options. a href"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021982-Corvette-ad.jpg"img class"size-large wp-image-812 alignnone" src"mediawp-contentecklerscorvetteuploads2014021982-Corvette-ad-1024x663.jpg" alt"1982-Corvette-ad" "610" height"394" aThe last year for the C3 Corvettes offered something special the Collector Edition. Primarily a visual appearance the Collector Edition saw a limited run of only 6,759 Coupes, all with lift-back glass rear windows. Chevy this ad up: The Incredible Collectible, and Chevy Makes Good Things Happen. The 350 engine out 200 hp. There would be no Corvette for the 1983 model year. strongspan style"font-family: Times;"Shop for Corvette at a href"http:www.EcklersCorvette.com"www.EcklersCorvette.comaspanstrongbr strongspan style"font-family: Times;"Follow us on our Corvette Facebook a href"https:www.facebook.comEcklersCorvette?frefts"Click here and Like us!aspanstrongp
