    78 Pace Car L-82 4-Speed

    Does anyone have any information on exactly how many 1978 Corvette Pace Cars were built with the L-82 engine and M-21 4-Speed transmission? I have heard there could be as little as 114 of them. Does anyone have any source for proof of this and would you be willing to share with me the source of this information? Thanks, Rick

    Rick:

    An interesting question and one that remains unresolved from an NCRS perspective yet you'll readily find many in forum circles that will use the 201 number with absolutely no proof whatsoever.

    Even as late as 2000...Corvette was unable to provide cross reference statistics without the manual labor of college grads to do the math...so for sure no one kept up with it in 1978. Yet many will swear the number is 201. As you know the official number is 3385 for both M20 and M21 as referenced in the link below. Some interesting stuff...but no breakout by motor or other RPO.
