This 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Edition is the proud recipient of numerous concours-level awards and is the lowest miles example that we've ever seen. In the early 1950s, Chevrolet debuted a brand new concept car at the New York City Motorama that would shortly thereafter enter production and become an iconic staple in Chevy's lineup for the next 70+ years; that car, of course, would be the Corvette. Corvette sales rose at an amazing rate from the end of the 50s and into the 60s and 70s, as well as its popularity and notoriety as a performance-oriented American muscle car, for whatever reason, it had never served as the Pace Car at the Indianapolis 500. That all changed in 1978 when the '78 Corvette was chosen as the Official Indy 500 Pace Car. Additionally, to commemorate the 1978 Corvette Pace Car, Chevy sold a limited edition Pace Car Replica edition Corvette that sported the iconic black and silver Indy 500 livery. In 1998, Chevrolet again commemorated the Corvette's selection as the Indy 500 Pace Car by offering a limited edition Pace Car Edition of which 1,163 were built. A mere 547 were shipped with the 6 speed manual transmission which makes this particular Corvette quite rare. This particular Corvette comes to us after traveling very few miles and winning multiple prominent concours and preservation awards including a Bloomington Gold certification, an NCRS Top Flight award, and an MCACN Concours Gold Certificate of Excellence. Under the hood is an electronically fuel injected 5.7 Liter LS1 V8, backed by a 6 speed manual transmission. Being that this C5 Corvette is a later model example, it of course comes with a multitude of desirable creature comforts like power steering and anti-lock disc brakes. The black cloth convertible top is in fantastic condition and it is manually operated with ease by a single person. The body on this Corvette is finished in Pace Car Purple basecoat/clearcoat paint with Indianapolis 500 Livery decals throughout, completing the outstanding exterior look. The interior is stunning! The bucket seats are both 6-way power adjustable and are correctly upholstered in eye-catching two-tone Black and Yellow leather. The bucket seats and black leather wrapped steering wheel appear to retain their respective protective coverings from the car's initial delivery back in 1998. The black upholstered door panels, center console, carpeting, and leather wrapped dash are all in delivery-like condition. The interior is loaded with numerous additional creature comforts such as power windows, memory power seats, adjustable mirrors, and power door locks. This '98 Corvette comes equipped with impressive instrumentation including a 200 MPH Speedometer, 7,000 RPM tachometer, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, volt gauge, and fuel gauge, along with a display for the Driver Information Center (D.I.C.). With an AM/FM/CD entertainment system, you'll be able to listen to all of your tunes while cruising down the road. Whether you're buying your very first collector car or you're looking to add an investment grade 'Vette to your existing collection of classics, this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Edition would make an excellent choice.

There was a old guy that drove the wheels off one of those when they came out. Last time I seen it he was in his 70s and the paint and decals were faded.
