Dude, it's a 98 Pace Car, the wheels are yellow. I'm guessing from what he says about it, it's awesome, pure and even though it has over a hundred gazzillion miles on it, he sure doesn't want to put clown wheels on it!!

Here are the pictures

I think I got it figured out. As for the oil pressure problem, it has the classic pegged guage, and 129psi on the DIC, so I am fairly sure it is the sending unit. For 115k miles, I am very happy with the car. It sat still all last week, and not a spot of fluid on the garage floor, can't say the same for the '84 I had with 50K miles!!

Thanks for all the welcoming replies!!

I probably paid too much at 19,000, but this car shows and drives like a 30k mile car. The bolsters on the seats aren't even ripped!!

Sounds like a pretty good price to me, I love that color scheme, best Indy vette ever made IMO.
