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.

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ Z07

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$74,999
SOLD

This Matte Black 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a true king of the roads. With its supercharged V8 putting out 650 horsepower, it’s got enough power to show off many of today’s trick EVs and even some baby supercars! Bearing a low 28,500 miles, this fine seventh-generation Corvette from Kyle, Texas could be yours if you wish. It comes with a Saddle Brown interior, heated and cooled seats, a paint protection film and even a glass removable top for those days when you really want to feel the wind rushing by and hear the V8’s roar, unfiltered. Plus, as a seventh generation ‘Vette, it’s a glorious hurrah to the last of the front-engined variant of Chevy’s signature sports car, given that the current C8 has gone mid-engined.
