Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.
Here's some pictures of the Pace car. I just couldn't  past it up. And only 2 hours away in New Hampshire.
For paperwork I got a copy of the original window sticker and an appraisal from 1989. Same owner since about 1989.
Car is optioned with the L82, the M21 4 speed, and the FE7 Gymkhana Suspension.
Just turned 20,000 miles. Original under the hood other than belts and hoses.
Looks like the black paint on the hood and a few other areas was redone.
The mufflers have to go.

Vette(s): 1982 Black, ZZ4, Hooker Side Pipes, 3.55 Rear, Rebuilt & upgraded 700R4, All new suspension, brakes, & new Charcoal interior.
She's a beauty alright Clap The interior looks super nice. I like the Pace cars without the lettering on the doors much better then with it, do you plan to leave it or add the lettering?
Good luck with it Jeff, I think you got a great buy there. Have you decided which one you're bringing to Mystic? See you then.

Looks to be a very clean Pace Car. I agree those mufflers need to go, they just are'nt for a Pace Car.

Dave, It does look pretty good without decals. I like them, but not ready to drop 300 for a set.
I'm still planning on bringing the Silver Ann to Mystic.  That's still my baby.  Just got the rear end all back together, hope it runs OK.

Jeff, My wife asked the same question, but with a much different tone and look.Confused  Her car is outside right now and I got 3 Vettes and an old truck tucked into and oversize 2 car garage. Come winter I'll be in deep s--t. The blue '80 is going up for sale.
