In 1978, Chevrolet celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Corvette by pacing the Indianapolis 500 and releasing a handful of special-edition pace car replicas to the public. Just 6,502 of these black and silver Corvette models were ever produced, each with a unique VIN sequence. In addition to the two-tone paint, each Corvette Pace Car featured unique front and rear spoilers, polished aluminum red-stripe wheels, mirror-tint roof panels and contoured sport seats finished in silver leather. An Indianapolis 500 decal kit was also included.

This Pace Car Edition Corvette is powered by an L82 350ci V8 engine with 4-bolt mains, forged-steel crank and aluminum intake, backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. The interior features a clamshell seat, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, a tilt and telescopic steering column, AM/FM/CB radio and cruise control. This original pace car rides on polished-aluminum wheels wrapped in white-letter radial tires.
