Vette(s): 1978 Indy Pace Car 4851 of 6502, Auto, L-48

Anyone have any idea what Pace car these emblems came from? Believe it or not I'm stumped Confused

I don't know if those boxes in the picture are the actually parts boxes. The guy selling them said they are for a 1978 Pace Car LOL

Well we know thats not true.

They are very simular to the 07 and 08 emblem (without the red outline) pictured below.

Let me know if you have any ideas. I do believe they must be from a late model Pace Car.

Sorry can't help you with this.

This is off topic but reading Corvette Milestones I read that there was one (1) 1956 Pace Car? A Betty Skelton was at the wheel but did not pace that year on the beach track in Daytona. So the question is where is this vette now???? Ermm

Yup Micki the 08 Pace Cars are showing up at dealerships, I even saw 08 Parade car #13 and #14 on ebay. I bought the 08 emblem pictured off of ebay and made a "Best Offer" on the other two odd emblems.

I'm gonna have to go to the Pace Car Registry to see if anyone there knows where they are from. 99 Monte Carlo is a good possibility. I was wondering what the 05 and 06 Pace Cars had for emblems.

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible

My first thought was the Camaro that had the black and white theme. Can't remember what year it was, but I want to say 89 or so.

BTW, did anyone see the pix of the Brickyard 400 Corvette Pace car? I'll try to find one and post.

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
