There were no specific 1986 Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition models produced; instead, 1986 featured a special "Indy 500 Pace Car" console identification for all 7,315 convertible Corvettes produced that year to mark the return of the convertible body style.

1986 was significant for the return of the convertible body style, absent since 1975. All 7,315 1986 convertible Corvettes were marked with special "Indy 500 Pace Car" console identification to commemorate this. 

The 1986 Corvette's 350-cubic-inch L98 engine was updated with new aluminum heads, increasing horsepower to 230 with 330 lb ft Torque and a Automatic 4 speed transmision

For 1986, after a ten-year absence, a convert­ible version will once again be available

the Bosch-derived anti-lock brake system, which is now standard on both body styles. The stopping distance from 70 mph is only 164 feet, the second shortest we've ever measured for a production car.

The convertible's roof, and its system of stowing, continue very much in the Corvette tradition. Two toggles release the folding top from the windshield header. Unlatching two tapered pins below the rear window releases the rear attachment. Then you lift the rear of the roof to allow the rear-hinged deck panel to swing open. In effect, the trunk then swallows the top, leaving no trace of it once the deck panel is returned to its place and latched. (There is still room in the trunk for a good-sized suitcase under the folded top.)

Except for four electric latches at the rear (two to release the top and two to al­low the deck panel to open), all of the fold­ing and swinging are accomplished man­ually, but the efforts are hardly worth mentioning

the convertible has the wide, 9.5-inch wheels of the Z51P255/50VR16s
