Re: 1967 Camaro Pace Car
JoeC,
Great info . . . I don't think the 0-1 was a clear coat paint. I thought at first it was, but did they even have clear coat paint then and if so, what would it do for the cars. I believe it could have been a different, brighter, GM White, maybe from a Cadillac, Buick, etc. I was told they did that because it helped the decals stand out on the car better for public viewing from the grand stand or watching them on TV or in the parades.
If the - (dash) is not a stripe delete for the bumblebee and pin stripe, then my second guess is that maybe it is for different shocks or springs for these cars as they were used for parade purposes and they knew these cars would be carrying heavy loads. I have had a few guys say that their pace cars didnt have the right springs or shocks in them and they just replaced them with correct ones.
My guess though is that the - (dash) still had something to do with a paint delete . . . Didn't the '68's have a - (dash) as a paint delete ?? What about some '67 Yenkos with no stripes on them ?? Are there any like that ?? I think it was a paint delete item that just ended up in the 4th or 5th group in '67.
