Yes, and the two-tone. I'd say it's a Silver Anniversary Special.

1978 had the unique anniversary emblem on the front and rear of the car. 2 tone silver and dark grey would be the Silver Anniversary edition.

There’s a post on my community FB page with people complaining about street racing in the area. The owner of this Vette posted up this photo in response to ‘real car guys race real cars.’

It got me wondering what year this car was as most of the late 70’s Corvettes were down on power.

'78's had about 170 hamsters under the hood. Thereabouts.
