Stunning, original L-82 Corvette Pace Car with only 879 miles!
As most Corvette aficionados know by now, the ’78 Corvette Indy Pace car is credited with starting the Corvette speculation market. The ’78 was the first Corvette to ever pace the Indy 500. So naturally, the boys at GM wanted to cook up something special for race day.

The most powerful Corvette ever built!
