Notes
The Chevrolet Corvette celebrated its 25th year anniversary in 1978 and was chosen to pace the Indy 500. Chevrolets car sales rose to 2341035 and 46776 of these were Corvettes. The base price had risen to $9351.89 but Chevrolet also offered an Indy 500 Pace Car replica for a whopping $13653.21. These 78 Corvette Pace Cars had two-tone silver and black paint their own number sequence and white-letter tires. The original plan was to build 300 units but an instant collectible buzz led to dealers clamoring for more. The target figure of 6000 cars (one per dealer) was over-produced to total 6502 units though some reports place the number even higher. The stickers that made the model collectible were packaged inside the car in case the buyer didnt like them. The two-tone black and silver paint scheme also evolved into the two-tone Silver Anniversary model of which 15283 were built.All vehicles are subject to a reconditioning fee of up to $2000 for all qualifying vehicles.
