For me and a lot of other Corvette people the Pace Car would be less desirable than a standard production C5. $35k will probably buy 99.97% of the C5's out there, and there are some incredible C5's on this forum.
35K for a 5,000 miles purple and yellow car is not too much, in my eyes. Yes, it is different, very different, but isn't that really the point of all special edition Indy cars? I happen to really like the "98 PC. It's so ugly, it's beautiful to me. I think any low mileage Indy car will have significantly more value than a "standard" model as time goes by. Look at the '78 PC's value in recent years. Quite an increase. Maybe I just like the "yellow" part of the '98, kinda like my harvest gold car.
