Just wondering how you can tell if your car was at indy, and used as a festival car, any input would help

There was a doctor back in '69 who had the foresight to note the VIN numbers and kept the list. The list is known but it only contains a few dozen of the 150? cars. What's your VIN and build date? You can PM me if you like and I will see if it's on the list or even in the eligible build time span.

I'll check when I get home later but the build date is good. They were all built in that early 02D period, the first couple weeks of production for Z11s.

Today's your lucky day: your car 609247, was #18, listed as a "Celebrity Car" 350 with an automatic. Here's the link to the list. It takes a while to load: http://www.camaropacecars.com/1969/VINlist.bmp

I looked at that car back in the late 90's. It was in Lake Geneva WI. I believe it was that car or number 17. I was told by the owner that OJ Simpson was the celebrity that rode in it. No kidding

It was advertised in Hemmings for $18K.
