Background Story of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette

Overview of 1978 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.

Exterior and Interior

The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition came with a black over silver metallic paint coat, and a red pinstripe, features which this car proudly flaunts. Further embellishments for Indy 500 Pace Cars include special alloy wheels, and of course Indy 500 decals. All these only add to the muscular design of the C3, with its quad headlamps in pop-up pods creating a distinctive appearance at night. The interior of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is also in black, and seats two occupants on leather-trimmed seats. Indy Pace Car editions got standard air conditioning, power windows, a rear defogger and an AM/FM radio. There’s enough space for comfortable grand touring, and ample trunk capacity too.

Engine

Powering this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is a 350ci (5.7L) L48 V8 that was reportedly rated for 185hp and 280lb-ft of torque. Power goes to the rear axle through a 3-speed automatic gearbox. You’ve also got 4-wheel power disc brakes for excellent stopping prowess.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999
SOLD

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.

1973 Triumph GT6

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$26,999

Ah, Triumph. One of those sadly defunct British sports car makers responsible for giving us some truly awesome pint-sized roadsters to drive enthusiastically. The British really got the whole less is more thing down to an art form during much of the 20th century. They perfected the recipe of small dimensions, modestly-sized but revvy engines and chuckable driving dynamics to a great extent. The Triumph GT6 was something a little more than your typical British sports car. For starters it was a proper, fixed-head coupe and it came with a straight six under the hood. That’s what we have for sale today, a 1973 Triumph GT6 from Clearwater, Florida. It’s got just over 33,000 miles, a 2.0-liter straight six, a manual gearbox and all the charm you’d expect from a classic British car. Why not make it your own, then?
