Description
To mark the Corvette's silver anniversary
Chevrolet had the most significant redesign since 1968
The 1978 Corvette had new fastback rear styling
creating more passenger space and a larger rear window
The interior was also modernized
The speedometer and tachometer were redesigned
In a new squarer more vertical style
and
A glove box was added
all 1978 Corvettes had a 25th Anniversary emblem
1978 was not only Corvette's 25th birthday
But
Also the first time they paced the Indy 500
To celebrate the event
Chevrolet built a series of pace car replicas
Chevrolet was extremely proud
Of the fact that as a pace car the
~ Corvette ~
was the first car to use a completely stock drive train
The first to be built from a one piece fiberglass body
and
The only pure two seater since before World War II
These pace car replicas had their own
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Separate from the standard Corvette
Another first for the marquee
The difference between the VIN number
For the standard Corvette
and
Pace car replica is in the eighth digit
The pace car replica has a 9
The Corvette has a 4
As well as having their own identification
The pace car replicas had their own paint scheme
Which consisted of a two tone paint with a red stripe
The first 300 pace car replicas
Had tires specially made by Goodyear
with
'Corvette'
Imprinted on the side
The extremely high demand
For the pace car continually increased
The quantity produced
And
In the end
Chevrolet decided to build
One for every Corvette dealer
a total of only 6,502
