Description
One of 527 Special Edition Z4Z Indy Pace Cars; just 21,500 miles;
rare, exciting and a real eye-full; the rarest Corvette model; UK registered and
ready to go
Listed on the Pace Car register - register@pacecarregistry.com this 1995 example was first
registered in this country in May 2012.
One of just 527 built (the rarest
of all Corvette models), they were built to support the 79th Indianapolis 500
which took place on 28th May 1995, with one car allocated to each of the top 500
Chevrolet dealers across the US plus a handful going to Canada and other
export markets.
Featuring special dark purple over white paintwork with a
special Indy decal package, they were fitted with the 5.7-litre LT1 engine,
four-speed auto and high perforance 3.07:1 axle ratio.
Wide 91/2" Argent
ZE1 wheels were fitted front and rear and a black interior fitted with
adjustable bucket seats with purple inserts and Indy logos on the
headrests. A/C of course and electric adjustable front seats (driver's currently
disconnected in this case) made up the rest of this unique
specification.
A copy of the US Title shows it lived in Bismarck,
Arkansas, the car arriving in the UK for use by its then owner who changed
plans and sold it to our vendor. UK registered M408 LAD, it shows just 21,500
miles on the clock which is believed correct, the title showing it had covered
11,192 miles when acquired by its previous American-based owner in 2002. It is
MOTd until April 2024 with no advisories showing.
The car was
authenticated by Tom Falconer in his book 'The Corvette Collectors Originality
Guide', a copy of which is included and signed by the author. It also comes
with an all-weather car cover, spare mats, spare right hand drive
headlights and a period Indy leather Jacket size Large.
Built as
they were with a galvanised chassis, GRP bodywork and a stainless exhaust, plus
lots of use of light alloy, this rare Corvette will be almost
ever-lasting and with just 21,500 miles showing is barely run in....
If
you like to get noticed, this car looks just the ticket...
