THIS IS A 1978 CORVETTE INDY 500 PACE CAR (REAL ONE, NOT A CLONE) THAT HAS THE MATCHING NUMBERS 350 L-82 V8 . TURN-KEY AND A GREAT CAR TO DRIVE ANYWHERE!

We purchased this Pace car in 2003. We always wanted a L-82 1978 Pace Car because they are such nice looking cars. This is a very original Matching Numbers car with 82,000 +/- original miles. Over the years we have redone the front bushings, idler arm, front and wheel rear bearings, power steering hoses, power cylinder, power control valve, master cylinder, brakes, water pump, rear end bushings, changed all four shocks, oil changes, tune ups, just to have it running correctly so we could use it any time we wanted. New battery, tires, and wiper blades installed recently.

Options This Pace Car has all the standard Pace Car options special black and silver paint, AC, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power brakes disc brakes, Tilt telescopic steering wheel, factory gauges, automatic transmission, L-82 engine with 220 horsepower, AM FM CB radio, power antenna, Front and rear spoilers, rear window defogger, sports mirrors, cruise control (not working), rear speakers, factory aluminum wheels with pinstripe, convenience interior lighting group, Delay windshield wipers. All options work unless I identified it as not working.

Mechanically the original L-82 350 V8 in it it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is also the original automatic and shifts great. Brakes work. Steers and drives nice with no play in the wheel. When we purchased it, we drove it a long distance from Ohio (18/19 hours) to Florida and it ran without skipping a beat. Overall very sound and reliable car that can be used daily if desired. The AC works just like it did in 1978 has R134 conversion. Lights work properly up and down.

Motor is the factory matching numbers L82. It has been serviced regularly and driven on occasion throughout the last decade. Very healthy overall.  Has all the smog equipment still on engine. Transmission shifts great. All the gauges work and all lights are operable. Both front lights operate up and down properly with no delay when turned on.

Interior is basically all original to the car except for the seats covers which were redone some years ago . Door panels are all original. Carpet is original and has new floor mats. Dash pad has one small crack. Steering wheel has some wear.  Console is has an aftermarket pad on top, in great shape. Overall a very presentable driver quality interior.

Underside is very nice with solid frame with original exhaust. Car has brand new tires.

If you just want a very nice mostly original driver that turns heads, this is the car for you.  Paint is overall good and cleans up very well with very minor imperfections from regular use. Not working: is the clock

Everything else works, horn, AM FM CB radio, power antenna, air conditioning  recharged with R134, power door locks, power windows.
