1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car
VIN: 1Z87L8S903155
The Indianapolis 500 is where the pace car originated and is still
used today. Used on the track regarding the warm up laps, and to
pick up the leader in the middle of the race. Each time there is a
new pace car for the Indy 500 Race and at the end of the race the
winner usually receives the pace car or a replica like it. In 1978,
it was the 62nd annual Indianapolis 500 and AL Unser Sr. took the
1st place win. The Chevrolet Corvette C3 was the car chosen to be
the pace car this season. During the 78' race Jim Rathmann was the
one who drove down the track, and had taken home the gold in
previous years. This car has been carefully handled and treated
like a queen by two owners. There was only 6,502 every made and
this is an original. However, out of the 6,502 every made only 15%
made were the Corvette C3. Now, this beauty spent most of its life
in Kentucky. With the Pace Car original finish that is slick as can
be and labeled with emblems that are clean this is one slick car.
Equipped with the numbers matching 350ci V8 Engine and the numbers
matching TH350 3-speed Automatic she is ready to go. The interior
is as beautiful as the all original paint on the outside. Come take
a little ride into Corvette history and race off in this 78' Pace
