1978 Corvette Pace Car Edition
14 Miles
Bid To: $36,666
Auction Ended: 9/09/2025
Offered By: Dealer
Listed At: Bring a Trailer
Views: 8,199 Watchers: 745 Comments: 49 Bids: 43
Top Comments From Enthusiasts:
- “Lots of bidding near the end. Hope it gets sold but its value is highly reduced becuase of the poor storage conditions. So many things need to be replaced or redone to make this car look (under hood and underneath) how it should for never being driven. Really sad how it turned out. This could have been a $50k+ car. Since it is not a L82, it likely would not reach the levels of those couple Mecum low mile sales a few years ago when markets were stronger than now.” carfan1978
- “My stepdad bought one for my mother in 1978, my senior year of high school and kept it for 20 years, almost 3000 miles, and it still looked better than new. The condition of this one makes me sad.” Kwic

Top Comments From Enthusiasts:
- “Market seems to be a bit soft right now for the C4-ZR1.” Jefferylu98
- “@jefferylu98 That, plus there were (before this closed) 5 other ZR-1’s up for sale at the same time. 3 of the 5 were red. 1 of the other 5 is from this same seller, has less miles, is NO reserve, and has red interior.A 1991 Haibeck 350 that’s also red ends tomorrow and also has less miles + red interior. Some of it’s just that this is a tough week + BaT put up 2 of this same seller’s red 1990 ZR-1’s up for sale at basically the same time.This is going to sound kind of crazy, because we’re still talking about a low mileage, clean ZR-1 in this instance…but of the 5 up right now, this was probably the “least desireable” of the 5. The most miles, 1990 (so doesn’t stand out compared to others up now), reserve, etc.” HBLvr

2025 Corvette ZR1 Coupe ZTK

Bid To: $360,000
Auction Ended: 9/12/2025
Offered By: Dealer
Listed At: Bring a Trailer
Views: 45,296 Watchers: 2,569 Comments: 198 Bids: 19
Top Comments From Enthusiasts:
- “The same thing happen in 2009, when the ZR1 came out, way over sticker, $50-100K over, I waited for 2 years in 2011, GM could NOT give them away, I got 2011 ZR1 FOR under 20k, Still have that car to this day, BE PATIENT, We are heading into BAD TIMES. SAVE YOUR MONEY.” cmsgt72.
- “Ridiculous. Should have sold it. The problem is MOST of these ZR1s will never be if hardly driven, and languish in garages. The 78 Pace Car comes to mind. They are going across auction blocks unsold, and if they do, the amount of money buying the car, storing it, insuring it and yes, maintaining it, far exceeds any profit. The world is changing, and not for the better. I will stick with my S&P 500.” 19seventy3vette
