Picture this: you're at the legendary Indianapolis 500 in the '70s, its performance and good times all around. With the race in full intensity, it's a matter of time till incidents occur and all hell breaks loose. With an incident in place, out comes a safety car, the legendary C3 Chevrolet Corvette, with a custom livery; it is pure eye candy and commands everyone's attention. Present today is an official pace car from a legendary motor racing series and looks like this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Official Pace Car; with a reported 11000 miles on the clock, this piece of American motoring history is reported to be an all-original example and can grace your driveway and collection today!
While the C3 Chevrolet Corvette design was iconic no matter where you decide to view it from, this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Official Pace Car takes things up a notch and sports a custom Indianapolis 500 livery. The custom two-tone black and grey exterior features a red sticker running across the car. The exterior is in factory condition, dons all its factory exterior trim, and even comes with its factory wheels with Corvette center caps; the uber cool 70s wheels are reportedly wrapped with fresh tires. The low mileage really shines out the moment you step into the grey interior of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Official Pace Car. The interior is in completely original condition, and sports all its interior trim; a look around, and you are treated to the sight of the original steering wheel and trim, with the exception of a reported replica stereo in place to ensure your tunes are done justice.
A pace car requires a motor that is up to pace, a motor that is potent and ready to keep the wolves at bay. Pop open the hood of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Official Pace Car, and what you will find is a 350ci V8 motor, an American powerhouse that can be souped up for performance thanks to massive aftermarket performance support. The current owner reports power steering and brakes for a smooth drive feel and dual exhaust to better hear that V8 roar. This American hero channels its performance to its rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
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.
A third generation Chevy Corvette is an interesting classic car to own and drive. You see, introduced in 1968, it came modeled straight after a concept car and looked out of this world. Then, the Malaise Era hit in the Seventies and took down any American car with it in terms of power and performance. Despite this horrific environment, the Corvette managed to remain the fastest car in America, proudly carrying the torch of being the best home-grown performance car out there, and keeping the spirit of driving alive. Today’s 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is a fine testament to the heavy burden that the Corvette bore during those times. It’s got just under 45,000 miles on the clock and currently resides in Milford, Pennsylvania.
Chevy’s Corvette is a car that many aspire to own and drive at some point in their life. Few cars in the world, let alone America, have reached such legendary status. Few cars in the world continue for over seventy years after their introduction. The Corvette is thus one of a handful of all-time automotive greats. Made across eight generations, it’s weathered tough times and emerged victorious. Even during the dreaded Malaise Era, the Corvette was the fastest American car available at the time. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from far happier times, specifically the C6 or sixth generation of 2005-2013. The C6 saw a shift towards tauter styling, improved handling and of course, more power. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is thus a fine example of a C6 as it bears only under 23,000 miles on its odometer. Coming with the Memory Package, Preferred Equipment Group and so much more, this Wisconsin-based Vette could be yours for the taking – if you act with speed.

It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.
Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.

Coronet is one of those names from Dodge that the current generation won’t know about, but the previous one definitely will. This nameplate floated around Dodge’s hierarchy for a few decades, moving between the automaker’s full size and mid size offerings. It was made as a coupe, convertible, sedan, station wagon and even a elongated 8-person limousine in early iterations. Now, we’ve got a nice fifth-generation 1967 Dodge Coronet for sale, from the period when the Coronet was a midsize car. This particular car is something of a restomod and resides in Anderson, California. Oh, and it’s quite suitable to go racing in, as well as own and cherish. Let’s learn more.
Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
