1978 was a very special year for Chevy Corvette buyers. Firstly, it marked twenty five years of the Corvette, so every 1978 ‘Vette came with special 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition badging and a few special things to celebrate this milestone. Moroever, the Corvette was chosen that year to be the official Indy 500 Pace Car! So, Chevy rolled out yet another special. A special on top of a special, if you will. That’s what we have here, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition from Corinth, Texas, with just 15,355 miles on the clock. If you want a truly special C3 Vette that’s got quite a bit of eye-popping capabilities, this is your car!
Exterior and Interior
Every 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition came with special black over silver metallic paint, sporting a distinctive red stripe as well as front and rear spoilers. That’s all present on this car, as well as dual sport mirrors, the iconic pop-up headlamps, and a set of 15-inch polished aluminum slotted wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. You’ve also got removable glass T-tops for that signature open-air driving experience when needed. The interior of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition comes with special silver interior trim, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks and a tilt telescopic steering wheel. You’ve also got a nice AM/FM 8-track stereo for that truly nostalgic feel to your music. As you slide into the leather seats and grip the sporty steering wheel, you’ll gaze at a proper set of analog dials that have none of the soulless nature of today’s digital gauge clusters. Now this is a proper car!
Engine
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition comes with the 350ci L82 V8. It uses a Rochester 4-barrel carburetor and was factory rated to produce a reported 220hp and 260lb-ft of torque. A 4-speed manual transmission is tasked with sending drive to the rear wheels. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard for excellent stopping power. It’s no surprise that even though this was the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of America’s fastest cars.
