2007 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition 20 Actual Miles, Original Window Sticker, Numbers-Matching LS2


Why This Car Is Special

The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is one of the most complete time capsule examples of the C6 generation you are likely to find. This car shows 20 actual miles on the odometer. The original window sticker is still present. The factory seat plastic is still on the seats. This is not a low-mile car that has been detailed and freshened up it is essentially the same car that left the Bowling Green assembly plant in 2007, before anyone ever sat in it with intent to drive.

The 2007 Indianapolis 500 was the 91st running of the race, held on May 27, 2007. Chevrolet selected the C6 Corvette convertible as the official pace car, finished in Atomic Orange Metallic Tintcoat a color that was exclusive to the Pace Car Edition that model year. Chevrolet produced these pace car replicas for retail sale, as has been the tradition since 1978. The Corvette has served as the official pace car at Indianapolis more times than any other vehicle in the race's history, making each edition a legitimate piece of American motorsport history rather than a marketing exercise. What separates this particular example from others is that it has never been driven. It exists today in precisely the condition it left the factory, with documentation to prove it.

The VIN on this car decodes to confirm it was built as a convertible, which is the only body style Chevrolet offered for the 2007 Pace Car Edition. All retail pace car replicas that year were convertibles, which is consistent with what actually paced the race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Mechanical

The heart of this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car is the LS2 6.0-liter V8, rated at 400 horsepower. The LS2 was introduced in the C6 Corvette when that generation debuted for 2005, and it represented a meaningful step forward from the LS1 it replaced larger bore, better breathing, and more torque across the rev range. At 20 miles, this engine has never been broken in. Every bearing, every seal, every piston ring is in the same condition it was the day the car was assembled. Mechanically, this car is as close to new as a nearly two-decade-old Corvette can be.

The transmission is the 6-speed paddle-shift automatic, which in the C6 was the 6L80 unit paired with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters that allowed the driver to select gears manually without lifting from the wheel. For pace car duty where precise speed control matters and the driver's hands need to stay on the wheel it was an appropriate pairing. The Active Handling System and Magnetic Ride Control are bot
