You are bidding on a 1978 Limited Edition Indy 500 Pace Car Edition 25th Anniversary Corvette! This is a replica of the car that was used as the Pace Car in the 1978 Indianapolis 500! This car is in very good condition. It was garage kept for most of the time that I have owned it. It runs extremely well. The Power Antenna will not go up and down, but the radio works just fine. I'm selling it because I'm not able to drive it as much anymore, and I would love to share the thrill and joy that I get from driving this awesome car. I think I have included enough pictures and information in this listing. However, if you need to know something else, just ask! The Corvette C3 was chosen as the pace car for the 1978 Indianapolis 500[27]. Initially, 2500 Indy 500 replica pacers-100 for each year of production-were scheduled for sale. But it was decided that each of Chevrolet's 6200 dealers should have one for showroom display. Thus what was called the Limited Edition Indy Pace Car Replica Corvette made up some 15 percent of total production. Like the Silver Anniversary model, the Pace Car Replica was actually an option package-RPO Z78. It's main distinction was black over silver metallic with a bright red pinstripe in between with a spoiler tacked on 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.
