Default My 1978 Corvette Pace Car
Thought I would share a few pictures of my 78 Pace Car that I bought this weekend from a member on here.

That is a great looking Pace car. What dealership did it sell at in 1978?

So with 31k miles, what are you plans for the car? Looks like an L48 automatic.

How can you NOT appreciate that? such a beautiful design all around I LOVE the rear spoiler and the front chin spoiler on the 78 pace car and the 79's we have the rear, not sure if the front was ever there, but i will be adding it for sure.

Just a weekend driver and it is a L48. The paint isn't as good as pictures look, debating on repainting the upper black on car. Then again it is a 36 year old car.
