There are low-mileage collector cars, and then there are examples
preserved at a level that is nearly impossible to duplicate. This
1995 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition Convertible has
traveled an astonishing 295 original miles since new and remains in
virtually showroom-new condition. One of just 527 Indy Pace Car
Edition Corvettes produced for 1995, it commemorates the 79th
Indianapolis 500 held on May 28, 1995, and represents an
extraordinary opportunity for the serious Corvette collector.
Finished in the unmistakable Dark Purple Metallic and White Indy
Pace Car color combination, this Corvette has been
climate-controlled garage kept since new and preserved with
remarkable care. The Black leather interior and White convertible
top remain equally impressive, with details rarely seen even on the
finest surviving C4s. The convertible top has reportedly never been
lowered and remains free of the typical wrinkles and creases
associated with use.
The level of preservation continues inside, where the original
dealer-applied protective plastic remains on portions of the
carpeting. The cabin presents remarkably close to the way it would
have when delivered in 1995, making this far more than simply
another low-mileage Corvette. It is an exceptionally preserved
snapshot of the final years of C4 production.
Power comes from Chevrolet's 5.7-liter LT1 V8 paired with an
automatic transmission, delivering the smooth performance that made
the later C4 Corvettes such capable grand touring cars. Despite its
extremely limited mileage, the car has not simply been ignored
mechanically. Fluids have been routinely changed over the years,
with the fluids and battery representing the only items that are
not original to the car.
Even the original date-coded tires remain installed and show no
visible evidence of dry rot, an extraordinary preservation detail
that further demonstrates how carefully this Corvette has been
stored. Because of their age, however, the tires should be
considered an important originality feature rather than something
intended for extended road use.
The special Indy Pace Car package included distinctive 17-inch
ZR-1-style wheels and the unique exterior appearance that
immediately separates these cars from a standard Corvette
Convertible. Combined with the White top and Dark Purple Metallic
bodywork, the result is one of the most recognizable
special-edition C4 Corvettes ever produced.
Inside, Black leather seating creates a striking contrast with the
exterior, while the factory Bose sound system provides the premium
audio expected from a well-equipped Corvette of the period. With
only 295 miles accumulated since new, the seats, controls,
carpeting, trim, and overall cabin show the kind of preservation
normally associated with a vehicle that has spent its life in a
carefully maintained collection.
Documentation further separates this car from the typical example.
The original window sticker remains with the Corvette and shows an
original MSRP of $47,734. A perfect, clean CARFAX complements the
documented mileage and exceptional condition.
Only 527 examples of the 1995 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition
were built, making them collectible in their own right. Finding one
with fewer than 300 original miles, its original tires, original
window sticker, untouched convertible top, dealer protective
plastic still present, and climate-controlled storage history takes
that rarity to an entirely different level.
This 1995 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Convertible is not
simply a clean C4-it is a collector-quality preservation piece that
shows virtually new in every way. With only 295 original miles and
an extraordinary degree of originality, it may be one of the
lowest-mileage examples available and represents a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional piece
of Corvette and Indianapolis 500 history.
