    This is the 1978 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Black/Silver in 1:43 scale by IXO.The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette C3 stands out as a defining example of late-1970s American sports car design, blending bold “shark-inspired” styling with V8 power and everyday usability. What truly set the 1978 model apart was its new fastback rear glass design, which not only modernized the car’s appearance but also improved aerodynamics, rear visibility, and cargo space—an unusual level of practicality for a sports car of its time. Combined with its lightweight fiberglass body, signature removable roof panels, and torquey 5.7-liter V8, the C3 delivered a uniquely American take on performance—less about outright precision like its European rivals, and more about style, presence, and accessible V8 muscle, helping cement its reputation as “America’s sports car.”Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model comes with its own acrylic display case.
