“Barn Find” Rescue: ’78 Pace Car Goes From Tired To Great… Part 2

John from Massachusetts continues to bring this neglected relic from our Corvette past back to life, and if you missed part one click here. A quick review of the story, as told by John:

“The story that I was told is it was owned by a local Krispy Kreme store owner. He drove the car up until he moved to Florida. When he went down to FL he left it with his mechanic to take care of it while he was away. Fast forward 7 years later and he returned to find the car sitting outside without the tops on it, and it was like that for years. He was so disgusted he had the local scrapyard pick it up and he went back to FL.”

And what he started with.

John works fast, and when we left off last week he had already pulled out the original L48, with bigger plans for this Pace Car’s powertrain. If you recall from last week, John scored an LQ4 6.0L out of a 2500HD Silverado and plans on shoehorning it into this classic.
