Chevrolet
Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car convertible (Z4Z) (2007)

Why it matters

Chevrolet had not sold an Indianapolis 500 pace car replica since 1998, so this 2007 edition ended a nine-year gap. It was a small run of 500 convertibles built on an otherwise unchanged C6.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The 2007 model year was a carryover year for the C6 and the best sales year since 1984, with 40,561 cars built. Among the year's two collectible editions was the Atomic Orange Indianapolis 500 Pace Car convertible, limited to 500 replicas.

The replicas carried gold ribbon graphics and the Z51 package, and were powered by the 400 hp LS2 that all 2005-2007 C6 coupes and convertibles used.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The replica is an Atomic Orange convertible with gold ribbon graphics and the Z51 package. The cached hub page does not describe a code or VIN range, so verification should rely on the build documentation.
