Description

SHARP SURVIVOR W/ NUMBERS MATCHING L48 350 V8, AUTO TRANS, FACTORY A/C CAR, T-TOPS

The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car is a true collector's treasure, embodying the spirit of one of motorsport's most iconic events. This survivor example wears its original black and silver metallic paint with authentic Pace Car decals, celebrating the 62nd Annual Indy 500 in style. Its rarity as an all-original, numbers-matching survivor with T-tops and limited-edition badging makes it a must-have for enthusiasts who appreciate history and exclusivity combined in one legendary American sports car.

Step inside to a cabin that reflects its era with original silver leather bucket seats showing tasteful patina and character. The factory dash and gauges maintain their classic appeal, complemented by a tilt and telescoping steering column that enhances driving comfort. Power windows and locks add modern convenience, while the factory AM/FM/8-track radio offers a nostalgic soundtrack to every drive. Though equipped with factory air conditioning, it will require servicing to blow cold again.

Under the hood, a numbers-matching 350ci L48 V8 engine delivers a familiar rumble that resonates through the FlowMaster exhaust system. Paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission, this Corvette offers a driving experience that balances vintage power with classic American muscle car character. Power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes provide confidence-inspiring control, while factory-style suspension preserves the original handling dynamics that made this Corvette a standout pace car on the Indy 500 circuit.
