Default 1978 Pace Car
Hey ya'll !!! I found a 1978 Pace Car that's been sitting in an old guys garage for some years now. Beautiful shape and on 38K miles. He's asking $14,000 for it. I'm wondering...is it worth that much?

Yes.... Especailly if it is in good shape and 100% original. I've seen them 18 to 20k. The two tone silver annv. bring that much. Pace cars are generally worth a few grand more.

I saw a Grand Sport (C4) right on the main drag by the lake.

It's one of the only 74-82 Corvettes that IS "worth money."
