For Sale: 1978 Chevrolet Corvette in Fort Myers, Florida

1978 Indy 500 Pace Car edition. A SURVIVOR. 2171 Actual miles. Numbers matching. Was sitting in a museum in Charlotte NC. The only thing NOT original to the car are the tires, exhaust, battery, and air conditioner. The tires (which yes....are BF Goodrich), not Goodyear were put on during COVID. There were no Goodyear's available. Original tires had bubbles in all 4 of them. Exhaust had holes in key areas. Air conditioner was upgraded to current specifications.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR and PRICED TO SELL FAST. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN ASKING AND ONLY SERIOUS INQUIRES PLEASE. I have original window/shipping sticker. Along with all service records from when I took possession. To get the car running (due to it sitting for a while) I put over $11K of new seals, gaskets, transmission check, and more was done.
