Default Pace car promos- 1978 or 1986

Hello All!

I am searching for 2 Corvette promos for my collection:

1978 Indy 500 Pace Car black/silver

1986 Indy 500 Pace Car yellow.

Anybody looking to sell or know where I could find them?

Thanks!

Sorry, but there was never a promo made for either of those Pace Cars...
If you must have a 'promo' - there were kits made for both and your best bet is to find the appropriate year promo and kit,
repaint it, and use what ever parts or decals as necessary from a kit....

That's what I had to do for my Pace Car collection. (not for sale)
Please - Pardon the dust!

I have a 1/18 scale 78 Pace car and also an 86 in 1/18. For the right money. I might part with them.
Also a 98, and the so called ice cream pacer (95) along with a 2003, all in 1/18.

I also have a 86 yellow with out decals in 1/25.

NO there where not. from the web page you mention : There were several Corvette Pace Car Promos produced over the years. The 1978 and 1986 Indy 500 Pace Cars shown on this page were custom made. All other Pace Cars on this page are regular production promos; so they're also pictured in the "Annual Issues" section of this website.
