1998 Chevrolet Corvette C5 Roadster | Z4Z Indy 500 Pace Car Edition | 6-Speed Manual | ONLY 18,400 Miles | 100% Original

We are proud to present this exceptional opportunity to acquire a true modern collectible and vibrant piece of American motorsport history — the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition (RPO Z4Z).

Offered for the first time in Australia since being imported in 2019 by its sole local custodian, this highly original example represents one of the most iconic and visually striking Corvettes ever produced.

Built to commemorate the 82nd running of the Indianapolis 500 — famously known as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” — just 1,163 examples of the Pace Car Replica were produced globally. Of those, only 547 were specified with the highly desirable 6-speed manual transmission, making this example particularly rare and sought-after among collectors.

Presented in its unmistakable factory livery of Radar Blue Metallic, this Corvette delivers a dramatic visual presence, with the paint exhibiting a distinctive colour shift under varying light conditions. The exterior is complemented by the signature yellow checkered flag graphics, Indianapolis 500 badging, and factory-original bright yellow aluminium wheels (17” front / 18” rear), creating one of the most recognisable factory designs of the era.

The interior continues the bold and celebratory theme, featuring exclusive two-tone Yellow and Black leather sports seats with embroidered “Indy 500” logos. The cabin is further enhanced by a unique ultraviolet-lit instrument cluster and Driver Information Centre, delivering a distinctly late-1990s performance aesthetic.

This example is accompanied by an exceptional and comprehensive history file, including original factory build sheets, new car order documentation, delivery paperwork, invoices, books, manuals, keys, and supporting memorabilia — a complete and highly desirable package for any serious collector.

Importantly, the vehicle remains 100% factory original, with no modifications or alterations, preserved exactly as delivered.

Power is delivered by the renowned 5.7L LS1 V8 engine, producing 345 HP and 350 lb-ft of torque, paired with the rare 6-speed manual transmission (RPO MN6). Performance is further enhanced by the introduction of Corvette’s Active Handling System (JL4) — a first for the model — offering advanced stability control and selectable driving modes. With a top speed exceeding 170 mph, the C5 remains a benchmark for modern American performance.

Designed under the direction of John Cafaro, this Pace Car Edition stands as one of the boldest and most memorable factory Corvette designs ever released — a true “visible from space” statement of design and performance.
