Congratulations on the nice purchase Charlie. Did Chevy put in a stock 396/325 or does it have modifications? Holley or Qjet? 1967 was before Chevy ever put an auto behind a solid lifter big block so maybe GM didn't want to chance a blown trans in front of 400,000 spectators? That may have not been funny to them. There are some original B&W photos of the pace car at the 67 Indy 500 on ebay. I don't know if it is your car or if they used another for photos.

I have a collection of 16mm Movies from Chevrolet from 1965-1975.
One of them is 30 minutes long and is called "1967 Jr. Miss".
It is about the Sponsoring Chevrolet did for this event.It has Many scenes of Pretty girls in the parades riding around in Chevrolet cars.The new 1967 Camaro is prominently featured and it is a row of 1967 Camaro Pace cars.I will have to go back and look,but I thought I saw the name Dan Young on one of the doors.This all takes place in Indiana.
Girls waiving while the narator talks.
Pretty sappy stuff,but great shots of the Chevrolet Cars!
Yes I know they made more then one 1967 camaro Pace car.

Absolutely one of the greatest 1967 cars of all time. Maybe THE most well known 1967 Camaro. I have the video of Dan Young being interviewed and a lot of shots of the car, made in the late 80's. I think it is called CAMARO and the Pacecar Story.

Congratulations Charlie, its fun to be excited about those first year cars.

Here is the orig. spare tire. Has never been mounted. Odd think is that the outside of the Rally wheel is the same color of gray as the back side, not Argent Silver.

Here is a pic of label still on spare. Appears to be a shipping label. Fstone T&Rco, Racing Div, 3802 16th st. Speedway city Ind. From Firestone, Akron Ohio.

I'll bet it still has '67 air in it. Don't go mixing anything now. BTW Charlie, is there any mention of a sb when it was prepped for the race?

On a side note.....my 70 Z-28 wheels(back side) and bumper jack parts are painted the same (appearing) gray as the spare tire/wheel in above picture.....can anybody here provide a CODE for that color or do all the different restoration people just come up with there own close....Chuck
