Pace Car
A friend of mine in Texas bought 14 of the 1978 Pace Cars when they were released. They were around $14-15K at the time. About a year later he sold 12 of them for around $30-35K each and made a huge profit. They dropped in value in 1979 when Chevy decided to offer the same paint scheme without the Indy 500 decals. He kept 2 of them and I think he still has them up on blocks. They have risen in value somewhat during the last few years from what I've seen on the TV auctions.
