Default 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy PaceCar L82

Hi,

please look at here and tell me:

- how can i find out is this an really original Pace Car and not only a fake?
- if the car not too cheap with this historical background? Thereīre "only" EUR18.366,00...

I like the Corvette... looks like very rare...

Or did i mislead me?

It is safe to say it is real. Nobody is faking those cars that I know of. They don't bring much money so the crooks don't bother with them.

I couldn't open the attachment, but all Pace Cars were two tone black and silver with silver interior. If the trim tag verifies these interior/exterior colors, you have a Pace Car. If it doesn't have a trim tag or if the tag shows another combination, stay away.

One sure way....8th digit of VIN must be a "9" or no-go.
