Default 1978 corvette pace car !!!!! Only 39 miles !!!!!

Seen this car for sale locally and thought the C3 forum would be amazed to see on with 39 kms, thats about 25 miles.
Would defiantly be a good piece for a collector for sure

Damn - I like it. Only an eight hour road trip from me. Let me go ask my wife. Since it is Father's Day - my chances are good.

And all it could be is a garage queen unless you replaced every single rubber component that's rotten out over the past 37 years from inactivity. Still... the PC is still one of my all time favorite paint schemes. This one is just $30K too much for me :-)

Wow I am not even sure, probably between 1990 and 1995.

So many of these got put aside and stored for their "amazing collector value" that there are quite a few of them sitting aside in this condition.
