<font color="blue"> What ever became of the Pace Car replicas?
I heard that they were recalled. For what reason, I don't know. I don't know if all 250 were recalled, or just the 50 convertibles. It's believed that it was some kind of safety recall. I do know that many, if not all of the convertibles were recalled by GM shortly after they were built. The cars were stripped of their VIN tags and donated to automotive tech schools where they were often used by students to practice body work. A few of these cars have probably found their way to salvage yards by now, and were either destroyed (crushed) or picked clean of their parts. I have heard of one Pace Car convertible in a salvage yard that only had about 500 miles on the odometer. Any of these replicas still on the road would be a very rare car. Possibly the most rare W-body car ever </font>
