The seats really add on that sporty feel and are 1978 Limited Edition bucket seats which were standard on the 1979 model year.

Today, you can find a lovely specimen in the shape of this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Sarasota, Florida, for sale with just over 30,000 miles on the clock.

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.
