Vehicle Description
NEW ARRIVAL! Don't miss an opportunity to own this unique, two
owner, low mileage Indy Pace Car Edition Corvette convertible. A
year after its introduction, the convertible C5 was chosen as the
official pace car of the 1998 Indianapolis 500. With much
excitement, General Motors quickly created an official Pace Car
Edition. All examples were painted the same Radar Blue metallic.
Inside, banana yellow leather complimented other surfaces in more
traditional black. The wheels were unique to this Edition and
painted the same color as the seats. Speaking of seats, the leather
sport buckets were standard. It also had the Active Handling System
as standard, as well as a Bose stereo, and climate control. The
package was topped off with checkered flag graphics, as well as
Indianapolis 500 badging in several places. As one might expect,
the Indy Edition was always intended as a limited offering. Only
1,163 were built in total, with only 616 made with the 4 speed
automatic transmission This car is number 609, built 2/15/98. The
Corvette Pace Car Edition convertibles were exactly the same as the
real thing with the exception of the specially-fitted strobe lights
on the actual pace car. And since the 345-hp Corvette needs no
powertrain modifications to handle the pacing chores, the replicas
were mechanically identical to the original. This Chevrolet
Corvette Indy Pace Car Convertible finished in Radar Blue with pace
car graphics in the trunk. The May 24th, 1998 Indianapolis 500 had
as the pace car driven by Parnelli Jones filling in for Greg
Norman. This is a 2-owner car that has a clean carfax that also
confirms miles to be accurate, 23,502 actual miles! Paint is in
nice shape throughout and shows it was well taken care of over the
years, nose cone in good shape as well. Powered by the LS1 V8 (345
hp) that is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, an option
that only 616 Pace cars were built with (1,163 total built). Riding
on newer Hankook 27540ZR18 tires and of course the stock yellow
wheels. Yellow and black leather seat interior with black dash,
center console, and 6-speed on the floor. Nicely equipped with
power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes, a/c, power windows,
power locks, power mirrors, power seats, memory drivers seat, and
dual climate control. The Z4Z package got you the graphics, Indy
500 package, upgraded Delco radio with cd, digital clock,
