MARIOS PACE CAR!

[john fernandes]

OKAY SO IT MAY NOT BE A YENKO OR A COPO BUT THE STORY I GOT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS THAT THIS CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO ANDRETTI! I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO BOUGHT THE CAR IN ALLENTOWN PA. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, ANDRETTI LIVES IN LEBANON PA. ABOUT 20 MINS FROM THERE, MAKES SENSE RIGHT? DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CAR HE BOUGHT AND WHAT DEALER AFTER THE RACE? ANY QUESTIONS OR HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! 617-293-0077 THANK YOU, JOHN

is this the NON-AC car? If I remember right he wanted one with AC and they gave him a different one than what was orginally going to be given to the winner.

I thought that was A.J. Foyt in 1967?

Mario lives in Nazareth, Pa. which is close to Allentown. I have been told that the car that he actually took, is no longer with him. One local person told me that it ended up in a local salvage yard back in the late 70's. There is another local person who "Claims" to have this car, but others in the know say it is not the car that Mario won in 69. I have seen him around town on ocassion, but never actually spoken to him.

This car has been for sale for years. The story about it has no real docs or facts to back it up. This pace car was at Camaro Nationals @ Carlisle in 2004.
