The VIN #1Z87L8S904XXX indicates this is a Pace Car replica as they were the first Corvette model to receive their own unique VIN - the 8th digit is a '9'. Production of the 1978 Corvette Pace Car was limited to 6,502 units. Initially 300 units were planned; however, demand was such that Chevrolet built one for each of its dealerships.
This was the first production Corvette to be identified as a 'special edition' as it was designated to be the Pace Car at the Indianapolis 500 Race. A lead story on the front page of the Wall Street Journal indicated this model would become an immediate collectable Corvette. There was a quick impact on the selling price of these Corvettes with the asking of $10,000 over the list price of $13,653 for the 1978 Pace Car.
Demand for this Pace Car peaked shortly after the 1978 Indy 500 Race. By this time, numerous Pace Cars had been sold at the premium price.

The original list price included all of the desirable options and included the standard L-48 185hp motor and automatic transmission. It is also equipped with AM-FM stereo radio with a CB feature, a $170 upgrade for the Pace Car.
