For well over one hundred years, the Indianapolis 500 race has been a national treasure of the United States. We all know and love the event for producing some of the biggest legends in racing, people like A.J. Foyt, Janet Guthrie, Parnelli Jones, and many more.

Yet no matter who came in first or who crashed and burned, viewers could always count on one thing: the shock and awe that came from seeing the official pace car at the beginning of the race. Starting with the Stoddard-Dayton runabout way back in 1911, all the way to Camaro Z/28 that was honored here in 2014, the Indy 500 has been a popular venue for American automakers to showcase the best and flashiest piece of hardware in a given year.

When it comes to Corvettes, the Chevy-built supercars hold the record for having been made the official pace car of the Indy 500 the greatest number of times. Since first being featured in 1978, the Corvette eventually went on to be featured eleven more times up to the current date, and had a period of five years between 2004 and 2008, where it was seen consecutively touting the C6 in various formats and styles for all to see.

Two generations prior (and on the Hemmings classifieds) is where we find one of these glorious C4s, a 1995 model sporting a cool maroon/white two-tone paint scheme, with a solid red stripe curving around the front end and a white convertible top. Admittedly, the C4 was starting to wear out its welcome by 1995, having been in production for over a decade, but GM found a way to make it look rather unique and tasteful that year.

This particular Corvette has a rather pristine background, with only five miles on the odometer, the original plastic protectors for the seats and door sills, and unregistered status. It’s one of only 527 from that year, and still has all its documents and paperwork in order.

Going for a price of $31,990, the seller of this mint-condition Vette is really squeezing the most he can out of the car’s collectible status. What do you think? Is the seller just right, or off his rocker? Let us know in the comments below.
