THE STORY:

The new series 1F Camaro paced the Indianapolis 500 for the fourth time (1967, 1969, 1982) but, this time Chevrolet supplied the track officials with three actual pace vehicles plus 125 for track officials to drive. Dealers were shipped 500 copies with 20 more going to Canada. that makes the pace car a limited edition collectible by anyone's stretch. Only the hatchback coupe was available and came in Black/White trim with special Black/White multi-colored interior accents. It featured a special 3-D knitting process that was carried onto the door panels as well. Mechanically, the car received an a LT-1 350 cubic inch V8 which met the speedways performance specs without modification. Even Jim Perkins, Chevrolet's General Manager who was the Pace driver at Indy stated, "every Camaro Z-28 pace car is capable of pacing Indy". Only the Pace Cars got the 4L60 Hydramatic automatic with a .70 fourth gear. Even standard Z-28's with a six speed were clocked at 155 mph in the 1993.

Not every pace car was ordered loaded to the gills so, our car is special in it's own right, even without it's original MSO, window sticker, Showroom Sticker and paperwork. $27,500
