The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Pace Car is a special edition created to celebrate the Corvette’s 25th anniversary and its role as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. Only 6,502 units were produced, one for each Chevrolet dealership at the time, making it a highly collectible model.
This Pace Car stands out with its two-tone black and silver paint, unique body graphics, and exclusive alloy wheels. The interior features silver leather upholstery and modern amenities such as air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo system, and adjustable seats.
Under the hood, it offered two V8 engine options:

- L82 (5.7L) upgraded to deliver 220 horsepower for enhanced performance.
The suspension and chassis were refined for better stability. With its iconic design and notable performance, the 1978 Pace Car edition remains a landmark in Corvette history.
