With eight generations and more than 70 years to choose from,
Corvette aficionados have no shortage of models and trims to fawn
over. But if you can find a rare model in good condition, it can
feel like the accomplishment of a lifetime, which is why you should
not pass up the chance to add this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500
Pace Car to your collection. This special edition 'Vette is one of
just 6,502 Pace Car trims made for 1978, and with only 23,445
(believed) actual miles on the odometer, its black and silver
original paint, and Indy Pace Car decal graphics look as though it
has been in a time capsule for the last half-century.
With a sticker price of 46% over the base model, the Pace Car
edition came fully loaded from the factory with things like a
telescopic and tilt wheel, air conditioning, power brakes,
steering, windows, and locks. Plush silver leather adorns the
interior, while the signature T-tops let the sun shine down
whenever you want a little more vitamin D along the way. The
original 8-track player remains to provide a retro soundtrack to
accompany the small block rumbling through the exhaust behind
you.
Under the signature front-hinged Covette hood, we find the original
350 cubic-inch L48 V-8 engine. Fed by a single four-barrel
Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, spent gasses are sent out through a
dual exhaust and sweet-sounding MagnaFlow mufflers. Power is routed
through a three-speed automatic transmission before the original
3.08:1 geared Dana rear end sends power to the pavement via
fifteen-inch factory wheels shod in 255/60R-15 Goodyear Eagle GT
rubber.
