ONE OWNER CAR, ONLY 25K MILES, ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER, SUPER CLEAN PACE CAR

Corvette pace cars have been a regular staple of the Corvette hobby, nd this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette pace car is only one of the latest in a long line of pre-made collector's items. But unlike many of its forbearers, his one actually has some performance credentials to match up with the high-impact look.The pace car replicas only came one way: loaded, hich explains its eye-watering $67,000 original sticker price. But for that princely sum, ou got one of the better-looking 'Vettes in recent pace car history. The Atomic Orange paint was on the regular Corvette's color chart, ut to get those cool John Cafaro-penned graphics (called the 'gold ribbon effect') you had to buy the pace car. It also includes things like some Indy 500 door graphics, pecial badges on just behind the front wheels, nd a rear spoiler borrowed from the Z06, ll of which give the pace car a distinctive look, hich really was the point. With just over 25,000 original miles, his one is quite nicely kept, ith a showroom shine to the pint, o major scuffs or scrapes on the nose, nd an overall look of a car that has been treated as something special from the day it rolled off the transporter. That shouldn't be a surprise, f course, nd it means that you can still own one that will surely qualify for collector status in a few years.The interior also got a pace car upgrade, tarting with special Indy 500 embroidery on the headrests. The Atomic Orange paint filters through, oth on the "waterfall" between the seats and on the center console, hich brightens things up in the otherwise monochromatic interior. The only item worth mentioning is some very, ery minor wear on the outer bolster of the driver's seat, hich is inevitable on those heavily bolstered chairs (a new lower seat cover is included if you want it truly perfect). Again, verything came standard on the pace cars, ncluding OnStar, navigation system (why do you need both?), ose AM/FM/CD/satellite stereo system, nd power everything. You also get one of the most sophisticated traction and stability control systems available anywhere, ig, lear gauges that do a cool dance when you key up the ignition, nd a slick-shifting 6-speed manual gearbox. The black canvas top has a glass rear window with defroster and it seals up so snugly you'll wonder why anyone ever bought a coupe. Even the trunk is reasonably-sized; well, easonably-sized for a ragtop.The standard Corvette's LS2 V8 was plenty potent for the pace car, nd that's what still lives under the hood today. Of course, he Atomic Orange pace car theme continues here with specially painted coil covers that make the engine bay look dressed up instead of pedestrian. It's still rumbling with 400 horsepower on tap and the 6-speed was standard equipment, hich was the opposite of other Corvettes, here the slushbox was the default choice (of course, ou could get an auto 'box with your pace car if you wanted it for some reason). The pace cars were all equipped with the Z51 performance suspension setup as well, hich included not just firmer shocks and springs, ut also upgraded coolers, different set of gear ratios, nd a whole host of upgrades that would be very welcome at the track. And, f course, hose special split 5-spoke wheels which wear recent 245/40/18 front and 285/35/19 rear Bridgestone Potenza performance radials.Only 500 pace car replicas were built, o this one will be far more collectable than some of its mass-produced siblings. It's also fully documented with a window sticker and letter of authenticity, o its place in history is guaranteed. And it's still a pretty darned cool 'Vette. Call today!
