Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Corvette celebrated its 25th year anniversary in 1978
and was chosen to pace the Indy 500. Chevrolets car sales rose to
2,341,035, and 46,776 of these were Corvettes. The base price had
risen to $9,351.89, but Chevrolet also offered an Indy 500 Pace Car
replica for a whopping $13,653.21. These 78 Corvette Pace Cars had
two-tone silver and black paint, their own number sequence and
white-letter tires. The original plan was to build 300 units, but
an instant collectible buzz led to dealers clamoring for more. The
target figure of 6,000 cars (one per dealer) was over-produced to
total 6,502 units, though some reports place the number even
higher. The stickers that made the model collectible were packaged
inside the car, in case the buyer didnt like them. The two-tone
black and silver paint scheme also evolved into the two-tone Silver
Anniversary model, of which 15,283 were built. All vehicles are
subject to a reconditioning fee of up to $2000 for all qualifying
