The Chevrolet Corvette is a symbol of Americana that's unquestionably woven into the fabric of our great nation's history. It's America's signature sports car and is renowned all over the world. No surprise, then, that it's been chosen to lead the Indy 500 on multiple occasions. What we've got here is one of just 545 Indy Pace Car examples with a manual transmission, as reported by the current owner. Sporting just 3,184 miles under its wheels, this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Pace Car is a fine example for a discerning collector. We are told that the sale includes receipts and documentation from the current owner's ownership period, full documentation from the Bowling Green plant on this car, a three-ring binder full of maintenance records, and the original chalk marks. Even the factory RPO stickers are present.
Dressed in radar blue with special Indy 500 decals, some of which are still in the box according to the current owner, this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Pace Car is a fine example of what some consider to be the most colorful C5 'Vette ever. It rolls on a set of five-spoke alloy wheels in eye-catching yellow. If you want to be discrete, this car is not for you. If you like to make a statement wherever you go, step this way. The convertible top is in black, and this car sports the oh-so-desirable pop-up headlamps that disappeared when the next-gen C6 came. Inside, it's an equally colorful affair with two bright yellow electrically adjustable seats. Thankfully, the dash retains its black appearance and is chock full of technology. This includes dual-zone climate control, a Delco Electronics Theftlock radio with an in-dash CD player, a Bose speaker system, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, and the original Pace Car floor mats are present in the footwells.
This 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Pace Car is powered by a 350ci (5.7L) LS1 V8 that develops 345hp and sends it to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Even in the context of 2023, this is a high-performance car, with zero to sixty achievable in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 175mph.
