1978 Corvette Pace Car L82 4 SPD with 80 miles
Only 203 produced with L82 4 SPD out of 6,502
This 1978 Indianapolis 500 Corvette Pace Car is one of 6,502 cars produced to commemorate the first Corvette pace car of the storied Brickyard event. It has been kept in climate-controlled storage since new and has been driven only 80 actual miles. In 1998 the car was taken to Bloomington Gold in which it received the following awards; Bloomington Gold Survivor lowest documented mileage for a survivor judged Corvette, Bloomington Gold Benchmark, Bloomington Gold Certified, Bloomington Gold Hall of Fame, Bloomington Gold “The Special Collection”, Bloomington Gold Survivor and a NCRS Top Flight Award at the 1999 Regional Disney World, Florida. Finished in a two-tone black-on-silver paint scheme, it also has limited-edition graphics. The special-edition car came with front and rear spoilers, mirror-tint roof panels and contoured sport seats. Also new for the 1978 model year was the fixed-glass fastback. The redesigned rear window was a fresh addition to a 10-year-old body style, providing extra cargo capacity and aiding in aerodynamics. Options Include: Tilt and telescopic steering wheel, air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, rear-window defrost and glass T-tops. The dashboard was restyled to match the previous year’s new aircraft-style center console and gauge cluster. The original matching-numbers L82 350 CI engine is mated to a 4 Speed transmission.
Documentation Includes: Original window sticker, original build sheet, original MSO, original owner’s manual and original keys. Shipped on 04/25/1978 to Arista Chevrolet-Oldsmobile Inc. Peterborough, NH.
