This particular L82 optioned Pace Car Edition 25th Anniversary Corvette is completely original except for the addition of two four barrel carburetors. The mileage is showing correct at just 26,491 KM or about 16,450 US Miles. This is one of very few Pace Car replica Corvettes delivered new to Canada and is particularly rare because of the optional L82 motor.
The paint shows light wear and some light fading. We see absolutely no signs of accident or repairs to the body. The interior is in very good condition with very light wear and no visible fading in either the seats, arpets or dashboard/console. The original stereo works, ights work, t runs very smoothly with that growly V8 sound.
Original cars are only original once, nd this Corvette is in what we call "preservation class" condition. It wouldn't disappoint at any car show and is a lot of fun to drive around. Not your typical "Red Corvette" .
If you've been thinking about a collectable, et still affordable classic muscle car, his 25th Anniversary Pace Car Edition Vette is a great option.
