For sale in our Nashville showroom is a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette
Indianapolis 500 pace car. This 1978 Corvette for sale is the real
deal. 1978 was the 25th anniversary for the Chevrolet Corvette and
they wanted to make certain they brought something special to the
Indy 500 as a pace car that year. Chevrolet built just one of these
for every Chevrolet dealer so only 6502 were produced, most of
which were equipped with an automatic transmission making this 1978
Corvette for sale even rarer. This 1978 Indy pace car for sale has
just the equipment you would want under the long lean hood you will
find the venerable small block 350, but not just any 350 this one
is in L-82 fighting weight, bringing the horsepower up to 220
instead of the normal L-48 of that year weighing in at a mere 175
horsepower. Now 45 horsepower may not seem like a lot however when
you consider the weight of the car is less than 3,600 pounds, the
net result is a kick in the pants! A four speed manual transmission
handles the gearing and gives the right hand something to keep it
busy. This combination makes this a true drivers car that just begs
for curves to straighten and would be competitors at stop lights.
This 1978 Corvette pace car for sale is ready to hit the open road
in search of some curves to tame and heads to turn. Options for
this 1978 25 anniversary Corvette for sale include: Air
conditioning, AM/FM cassette radio, T-tops, Power brakes, Power
Steering, Power locks, Power windows, Tilt steering wheel, Seat
belts, Leather interior and raised white letter radial tires
wrapped around aluminum alloy rims. For more information call the
