1978 Pace Car Export
Has anyone have info on Export 1978 Pace Cars? I am looking at one from Canada and the owner made this comment "Since it was delivered to a dealership in Canada; all cars were required to be undercoated and this car bears the "maple-leaf" decal indicating this met the requirement", The car speedo is in km and was replaced with another km speedo so it doesn't show original miles. Has anyone heard about these items with a Export?
Thanks

The speedo in KM is correct for a Canadian car.
The odometer will also read KM.
The undercoating part of what he told you I've never heard before.
Pretty sure it was not a requirement that Canadian cars be undercoated.
Back in 1980 I bought a new Corvette, and it was not undercoated.
Hope this helps

I agree with hzz. I believe the Maple Leaf sticker is confirmation the car was prepped for Canada at St. Louis. I am not sure that included undercoating. All 78s had factory sound deadener applied to the underbody and wheel wells. It is possible the dealership offered undercoating to new car buyers.

My Alberta Canada original 78 has no undercoating anywhere.
