1978 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Pace Car Edition
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Pace Car Edition lived in
Pennsylvania and has only 391 original miles. Just 6,502 of these
black and silver Corvettes were produced, each with a unique vin.
Power is provided by a 350ci L82 V8 paired with a three-speed
automatic transmission and a Positraction differential. The 350ci
L82 V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and an aluminum
intake manifold and was factory rated at 220 horsepower and 260
lb-ft of torque. The 1978 Corvette featured a revised fastback
roofline with wraparound rear glass, and all Pace Car examples were
finished in two-tone black and silver with a red stripe below the
blend line. Exterior equipment includes removable glass T-top roof
panels, pop-up headlights, side marker lights, fender air vents,
sport mirrors, and quad taillights. The 15? eight-slot alloy wheels
are mounted with 255/60 Goodyear Radial GT white-letter tires.
Braking is handled by four-wheel power-assisted discs. The cabin
features bucket seats trimmed in silver cloth along with a
color-matching dash, center console, door panels, and carpeting.
Interior amenities include a power-adjustable driver's seat, an
AM/FM eight-track stereo, cruise control, power windows, and a
tilting steering column. The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering
wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. Gauges
for coolant temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, voltage,
and fuel level are in the center stack.
This is a great car with some decent collectability, but
importantly with T-tops and some of the best handling the 70's had
to offer on any car produced, this is a great car to cruise on a
sunny day to a car show or your favorite destination. Give LRA a
