Why it matters
The 1995 replica marked the second time a C4 paced the Indianapolis 500 and the second pace car replica of the generation. Only 527 were built, and most dealers received exactly one.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

History
Jim Perkins drove the Dark Purple 1995 Corvette at Indianapolis. The 1995 model year was the last for the ZR-1, and the base car used the 300 hp 350 cu in LT1.
The replica was finished in Dark Purple over Arctic White, with embroidered headrests and ZR-1-style wheels. Chevrolet built 527. In 2026 the hub reports replicas being bid to $19,000 without selling.
