1978 Corvette "INDY 500" Pace Car
The car that almost did not become part of the family,
I had a guy who wanted my 1954 Chevy that you'll see later, but he didn't
have the money to buy it, he wanted to make a trade, a 57 Ford Convertible
plus $5000, or the 1978 Pace car and I got $1000, well being a child of
the 50's, you know which way I was leaning, so I talked it over with Eve,
and she came out with the 1957 Ford, so I thought about that, and asked
her again
I just thought she was telling me what
she thought I wanted to hear, so to get the truth out of her I had to kill
myself, I said Eve we have a three car garage, with three show cars, if I
died and you got tired of your daily driver in the bad weather, which car
would you sell, she said the 57 Ford, and what if I bought the pace car,
she says "That would be hard I've always wanted a sports car" so I got her
the Corvette as a mid life crisis present
I'm not going to bore you with stats on
a 1978 Corvette pace car, they're all over the net, this one is #0586 in
the build numbers, and she's 100% stock, and she's never been beat at any
Corvette show, she always brings home the first place trophy, she has
45,000 miles on her
