A true Original Anniversary Pace Car that runs and drives

In 1978, Chevrolet celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Corvette
by pacing the Indianapolis 500 and releasing a handful of special
edition pace car replicas to the public.
ONLY 6502 of these very special Black and Silver Corvette models
were ever produced, and with a unique VIN sequence, a significant
change from previous special edition Corvettes.
Following a front page article in the Wall Street Journal, prices
for these limited edition Corvettes went through the roof as they
were quickly snatched up by collectors.
Besides the special two toned paint, each Pace Car featured unique
front and rear spoilers, polished aluminum red striped wheels,
mirror tint roof panels and contoured sport seats finished in
silver leather. An Indianapolis 500 decal kit was also
included.
The 25th Anniversary of Corvette was marked with one of the most
extensively redesigned Corvettes since the 1968 model.
The new fastback rear end styling featured a large rear window,
reminiscent of the lines of the mid 60's.
The interior of the 1978 Pace Car sported a special clam shell
seat. Number 06305, this particular Pace Car edition includes the
sought after L82 350 Ci engine with an automatic transmission. The
L82 was designed as a high performance engine, featuring a 9:1
compression ratio that generated 220 horsepower. This particular
engine also had larger heads and valves, 4 bolt mains, forged steel
crank, different pistons and aluminum intake. Although the cam is
stronger in the L82, it is physically identical to the L48,
Chevrolet's first version of a base 350 V8 engine.
This Corvette is a rare find and a collector's dream!! Own a piece
of Chevy history!
