The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car is a true collector's
treasure, embodying the spirit of one of motorsport's most iconic
events. This survivor example wears its original black and silver
metallic paint with authentic Pace Car decals, celebrating the 62nd
Annual Indy 500 in style. Its rarity as an all-original,
numbers-matching survivor with T-tops and limited-edition badging
makes it a must-have for enthusiasts who appreciate history and
exclusivity combined in one legendary American sports car.
Step inside to a cabin that reflects its era with original silver
leather bucket seats showing tasteful patina and character. The
factory dash and gauges maintain their classic appeal, complemented
by a tilt and telescoping steering column that enhances driving
comfort. Power windows and locks add modern convenience, while the
factory AM/FM/8-track radio offers a nostalgic soundtrack to every
drive. Though equipped with factory air conditioning, it will
require servicing to blow cold again.
Under the hood, a numbers-matching 350ci L48 V8 engine delivers a
familiar rumble that resonates through the FlowMaster exhaust
system. Paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission, this
Corvette offers a driving experience that balances vintage power
with classic American muscle car character. Power steering and
four-wheel power disc brakes provide confidence-inspiring control,
while factory-style suspension preserves the original handling
dynamics that made this Corvette a standout pace car on the Indy
500 circuit.
