Vehicle Description
For sale in our Fort Lauderdale showroom is this very nice 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car. This is 1 of 6502 produced Indy 500 replicas. The car shows very well. It was repainted once in its original color. The interior is in good condition and makes a very clean appearance. The numbers matching engine runs super strong and the mileage of less than 23000 is believed to be original. The transmission was recently rebuilt and shifts through the gears as it should. The Corvette C3 was chosen as the Pace Car for the 1978 Indianapolis 500. Like the Silver Anniversary model, the Pace Car Replica was actually an option package-RPO Z78. Its main distinction was black over silver metallic with a bright red pinstripe in between with a spoiler added to each end to alter appearance more dramatically. Pace car interiors reflected Bill Mitchell's influence, with full silver leather or silver leather/gray cloth upholstery and gray carpeting. All replicas were equipped with new thin-shell design-lumbar support seats, new glass t-tops, alloy wheels, power windows, air conditioning, tilt/telescope steering wheel, power locks, rear defogger, sport mirrors, heavy-duty battery, and AM/FM stereo with either eight-track tape player or CB radio. This Corvette is ready for the road.
