A.J. Foyt's 1967 pace car on e-bay

[rpoz11]

I agree with you Motown! And, my sharing the fact that the later cars would have recieved the "C-1" paint code by the time this car was ordered, assembled, etc....
As for 70 COPO, I personally have no knowledge of where the latter car was ordered thru whatsoever, but I would find it interesting to read those documents that help support where that car was processed thru. As I am not the authority on the aj car, were you pretty sure it was to be with that group assembled for delivery to Canada at that time back then? I am curious to know and would be of good historical knowledge to share here..

The story first appears in the 1990 Crispino-Hooper book :"Chevrolet Indy Pace Car Book" Where the sources interviewed all tell the same story that AJ turned down the original award car because "it got hot in Texas" and told Chevrolet to build him another car with AC, and as the story goes the sources for the book stated that the car that was specially built for AJ was built in the same run as the Canadian cars.

Also same story in support the Foyt award car being built in the Canadian run was again repeated from different sources in the 1992 USCC Pace car registry report:

Participants were:

Ken Moorhead Matt Murphy, Bob Harris, Jim Hariston, and Mark Campbell.

But who knows they could all be wrong - and the guy on E-bay could be right!!!

Geez for a while people were under the impression that Yenkos were only sold at Cannonsburg.

Oh but there is more.. the good folks over at www.67pacecartrust.com are chopping this car up pretty good right now. Surf over and have a look in the general discussion area.


Did you get a chance to check on the Z-11 info??

Thanks

I dont want to have this thread go away from the originator's intent of he 67 Pace Car discussion so I will not add more to his on the 69's other than I felt that late May to late June, but, I think CRG is the place to answer this! BTW That 67IPC site is cool!

Thanks for your opinion.... My understanding is that the last Norwood car is an 05-A.

Thanks
