1978 Indy Pace Car Corvette on 2040-cars

Year:1978 Mileage:65167
Location:

Oroville, California, United States

Oroville, California, United States

Up for sale is an extremely rare 1978 Chevrolet Corvette silver anniversary Indy 500 Pace car.

This car has ACTUAL 64000 miles. It has sat in a storage building for many years. It is a 2 owner car purchase by the same family. This is a true California car with actual miles.

The paint on this vette is in good shape for a daily driver, it is not in show condition. The body is immaculate and the interior is in fair shape with some stitching coming apart.

 The carpet is intact and decent but should be changed out.

The glass is all in excellent shape. The dash is excellent, the T-tops as well.

 Mechanically she is in excellent shape. She starts right up, no smoke, no leaks and no rust underneath. She runs and drives very nice and can be driven while restoring her to the original Indy Pace car.

This Corvette will need the decals replaced, carpet and eventually paint and possibly interior. The tires on the car are in excellent condition but are very old and should also be replaced.

All in all, this is a great opportunity to own an extremely rare and classic Indy 500 Corvette pace car at a fraction of what it is worth.

Please email or call with any questions 530-519-2195. The car can be stored for a reasonable amount of time without cost. I will assist in shipping all I can but the cost is the responsibility of the buyer.

PLEASE NOTE !!!  The VIN on this car is 1Z87L8S904069. I inadvertently left out the engine identifier digit being an " L ". This is an original L48 car, meaning 220 hp original as driven in the Indy 500, NOT an L82.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
