The 78 pacer is the reason I am in love with Corvettes. I was in 2nd grade and that was the first Vette I ever saw. Here's a couple of pics I took at the NCM this new years.

Redjetty,
Yeah that looks like it could have been the same one! You can see in the pics that the plastic is still on the seats. Other than that I couldn't really see any of the interior. I didn't want to go beyond those red poles on the ground and get kicked out of the museum before I finished my tour! And did you see the info sheet? 78 actual miles!? Man....if that bad boy was mine I'd have a couple of zeros behind that number in no time! Sweet ride for sure.
