Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Official Pace Car edition for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. The 1978 Corvette Indy 500 Limited Edition Pace Car Replica editions had a distinctive Black/Silver 2-tone paint with a red pinstripe and that package added over $4300 to the price of the car. Production of the pace car replica was limited to one for every Chevrolet dealership and 6,502 pace cars built in 1978. Chevrolet originally planned for the '78 pace car replicas to be a special edition with a very small production number. They were capitalizing on the fact that the Corvette was asked to pace that year's Indy 500. They originally only planned for 300 units; but as word got out, Chevy ramped up production. This was 46 years ago. Some of the replicas were driven into the ground or left for rust or completely sun faded. Inside the cabin it's business as usual. The pace car replicas didn't receive any special treatment inside like other Corvettes. The silver seats were recently reupholstered. Our consignor states that he believes the door panels and carpet are original to the vehicle, including the 1978 speedometer that shows 140 MPH, tach, and glovebox. Looking towards the center, you have additional gauges for temp, fuel, clock, oil, and battery. The original factory radio is in the trunk. Let's not forget the 25th Anniversary limited Corvette badge just below the shift column that will only be found on 1978 Corvettes. This Corvette also features removable glass roof panels. The most notable and unique aspects of the pace car replicas was the paint scheme-black on silver. This was one of the only options available in '78 that you could only get on a pace car replica. The two-tone paint is comprised of black on the top half of the car with silver on the bottom, separated by a thin red stripe. This one has had a full repaint in the last 6 years. The Corvette touts the CUT: 350 CUBIC INCH, 185 HORSEPOWER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, the 185-HP L48 small block 350. Feeding the 350ci small-block is the original Rochester four-barrel Quadrajet. The AC was converted to R134a, but it does need service as the AC does not blow cold. All lights (interior and exterior) are in working order as well as the popup headlights. The Corvette rolls on new Goodyear tires, P255/60R15's. Don't miss out on owning this awesome historic vehicle that's a piece of racing history, call Classic Car Addict today at 480-256-1459. And be sure to follow us on all our socials, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. We welcome all buyers to have a pre-purchase inspection done as all our vehicles are sold AS IS.
