2007 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

Here is my 2007 Indianapolis 500 Track / Festival Car. It is number 36 of the 57 cars that were directly delivered to the Indianapolis track for the 2007 race. Track Car #36 has VIN# 1G1YY36U075128395
A 2007 Chevrolet Corvette convertible paced the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 27, 2007. As it was selected as the Official Pace Car, Chevrolet supplied several identically prepared and uniquely trimmed Corvette convertibles – in new Atomic Orange paint with distinctive gold ribbon graphics – that served in the official pace duties of the race, as well as supporting activities. This year, the driver of this Pace Car was Patrick Dempsey, co-owner of IndyCar team Vision Racing, and star of Grey's Anatomy" TV se
This year the Chevrolet Corvette convertible returned to pace the Indianapolis 500 (it's ninth Indy Start) and in honor of being selected there were 500 replicas made for sale to the public.
But the 57 used at the track were the very first to be produced out of the total run of 500 replicas. The remainder of the replica production began in early June.
Indeed these will be collector cars as they were built in time to be used as Track / Festival cars for this year's race. The bulk of the group (48) arrived at the Speedway on March 15th, with the last nine coming in on the 17th. In all, two of the loads were shipped open carrier and the rest were shipped enclosed per GM orders from Detroit.
In addition to the Pace Car graphics package, these 57 Corvettes were specially marked at the Speedway with an event car decal and a two color sequence number assigned to them on the windshield and a matching black number placed behind the license plate.
Some of the differences between the actual Pace car pictured in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and the Replica seen here. First, on the actual Pace car, there is a larger "Wing and Wheel " graphic on the front fenders, while the Replicas have a stunning 3-dimensional Emblem. Secondly, the actual Pace car does not have an onboard Navigation system. Third, the steering wheel trim is Orange on the actual Pace car, where on the Replicas it is the standard silver.
These Corvettes were assigned to the Speedway and Indy 500 Festival personnel and were used from April 4th until May 30th, 2007, after which they were turned back to General Motors for distribution to dealers for sale to the public.
This car includes much memorabilia that commemorates its role as a Track /Festival car.
