New to us is this gorgeous 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car! Purchased in Alabama from a Corvette collector who also purchased it from a collector. This car is 1 of 202 produced and this one has all the good stuff such as L82 V8, Muncie M21 close ratio 4-speed Manual, 3:70:1 posi rear end all tied together with FE7 Gymkhana suspension. This classic is ultra low mileage, having only 27,000 original pampered miles. The original paint is in excellent condition as well as all the trim & glass being in equally excellent condition. The interior is all original including the AM/FM radio along with the rare CB option and ice cold air conditioning. The factory wheels are still in excellent condition. The engine and drivetrain are in excellent operating order. Starts/runs/idles/shifts/steers and stops just as one experienced new in 1978. This is an impeccably maintained car and everything about it demonstrates so. All original numbers matching vehicle "rare find"! This pace car is ready to show and drive. All steering, suspension, brakes and gaskets have been serviced or replaced. All the gauges and lights work perfectly. Windows work perfectly. This is a super nice example of a very rare car that is going to continue to climb in value with the Corvette legacy!
