Default Console data plate

I have been unable to locate, either new or used, the console data plate that was on the '78 pace cars. Has anyone seen or heard of anywhere I could find one? I think it said "Collector Edition" or "Special Edition" on it with the 25th anniversary logo.

"Limited Edition" and others have searched for the same with no results. I don't know if they are reproducing yet or not.

I did a search on it as well just to check it out (don't have a Pace Car...so don't need one) just to check it out but unsuccessfuly. What did you search on?

I was searching for "corvette console data plate" and it did not come up. If you try "corvette console emblem" it will come up.

Yep! Watched the bidding take place and glad you got it. I'll have to track these more closely. Didn't want to bid against you but would like to pick one up.

Tell me more about your restoration. I'm looking for the right Pace Car to do a restoration but have yet to find it.
