I was following a Pace Car on ebay a few weeks ago. If I remember right, it had under 1,000 miles... and it bid up to $25K and didn't hit the reserve... NO SALE I was following it because I was curious to see what interest there currently is in them, and what the public thought they were worth.

I just researched Pace Car sales on ebay for the last month. Several under 10K miles, none cracked $25K... but then they were L48 automatics. One had 2300 miles on it with a buy it now price of $24K and only got up to $21K.

And I agree... a Silver Anniversary is NOT a Pace Car.

I need to correct a few things, I just got the VIN# and after further conversation I found that I had done some assumung..
This actually a 1982 COLLECTORS EDITION vette with the L98 engine code.
Any how, I still have not had a chance to go over to his gouse and write down all the info...codes.

There seems to be quite a few low mileage '78 pace cars out there and they are not that expensive
That is true...these Vettes (mine included) are to young...I have an agreed replacement value of $16,500 with my insurance...be hard to sell it at that price..my opinion,anyway..

Just plugged mine into a price calculator:

Corvette Model Year = 1978

Body Style = Coupe

Condition = Very Good

Base Value = $10,000.00

Options Value = $5,050.00

Total Car Value = $15,050.00

It all comes down to what a buyer will pay....these price guides are just a reference...
