Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville Tennessee is proud to digitally present this rare 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition. This rare 1978 Indy 500 Pace car was also the 25th anniversary of the Corvette, this example features a numbers matching L82 350CI small block engine paired to a 3-speed automatic. Only 6,502 of these limited-edition pace cars were built and of those only 27% had the more powerful and therefore more desirable L-82 engine. This great driving example is number 6,049 of the production run and is ready for miles of fun. This car shows less than 81,000 miles and the owner believes these to be correct and it has many more to go! The black and Silver paint bordered by the red pin stripe has become synonymous with GM performance is in serviceable condition and the silver interior is something you just don't see very often. The car tracks true as an arrow and sounds great. With this car in the driveway, you'll be looking forward to the weekend for one reason only and that's to dive! This Corvette has been optioned out with power windows, glass T-tops, air conditioning, power mirrors, 3-speed automatic transmission, tilt-telescopic steering wheel, AM-FM stereo, dual exhaust.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
