Lot 347 on the 14th is a 78 Indy Pace Car described as follows:
An original 1978 Silver Anniversary Indy 500 pace car edition with only 16 original miles. All documentation and original owner's manual included. This 220hp V8 4-barrel car has been in storage for 30 years.
If you look at the pics it appears to be an L48 not an L82? I thought only the L82 had 220 HP?

In this economy I think I would be going the Mecum route. The big bucks is still out there for the top end stuff but the rest may take a hit.
It will be interesting to see what happens.

They offered 2 motors that year the L48 and L82. The L82 was 220 hp. This particular car has no L82 emblem on the hood, 1dt clue. It has a single snorkel air cleaned, the L82 is a dual snorkel, 2nd clue. It has blue valve covers, a L82 has black finned valve covers, 3rd clue.
So it is obviously a L48 which did not have 220hp, I thik it was 180 or 190 if I am correct. It is probably an oversight or someone who does not know that made the listing.

What is with all the named cars? Snake Killer, Shriner, Purple this and that, is this just make a 89 purple C-4 sound better?

I believe they are from the GM Heritage collection that GM is auctioning off. These are cars that were never titled and I believe have no VIN.

Lots of cool Vettes in the Heritage collection. Most of them aren't even listed yet as GM just added them:
First ZR-1 Serial no# 00001
Snake Skinner
ZL1 engine stuff
The Tiger Shark, I was driving it around on Saturday, and it's awesome.
Tons of Pace Cars
Etc. etc.
