I have no idea what a Pace Car is worth, but here is one running over on Ebay right now:

Hopefully this will give you an idea of what the upper range is for a 69 PCar

Actually that is my car on ebay right now. It took approximately $98,000 to get to that point and it was a nice car to begin with! I restored it as a keeper, only NOS and original parts, no repro stuff, but I have another project I am doing now and dont like to see the car just sit. So that's why I'm selling her.

You can buy a restorable Z11 from $30K to $40K. But as for what you put in to it, the sky (and your bank account) is the limit. Remember it costs about the same to restore a COPO to that level as it does a six cylinder Camaro coupe. The majority of the parts are the same.

You're right, it's rare to find one with its original engine and yes, a stick car with air is even more rare.

Good luck on the car

You may be happy to know the mullet is gone, now if I can just lose these extra 25LBS I have accumulated, LOL!

Have a question for you NJSteve...The Vigilite set up on the fenders, I recall that different Chevrolet models that had this option used different coloring on the Plastic lenses that are seen from the driver....I recall a set I had (but I cannot recall which car I pulled them from) that had I think it was Green White White [some may appear Blue instead of Green]. I see yours having Green White Red. Can you elaborate on this for us as for the differences for these? Thanx!

In 1968-69 ALL GM vehicles used a Green/Clear/Red RPO-U46 Vigilite Fender lens.
Begining in 1970 + ALL GM vehicles used a Green/Clear/Blue RPO-U46 Vigilite Fender lens.
Rear Cobra eyes stayed the same colors throughout,Red/Clear/Red.
I have three complete sets of these.

Of your 3 sets, are any of them for the convertible? The rear Vigilite pod for a convertible is one of the holiest of holy grail pieces. I was lucky enough to find a complete NOS set several years ago. The second owner of my car pulled out all the vigilite stuff back in 1980 and threw it all away! The car still had all of the mounting holes and the cut fiber optic ends sticking out of the back of the marker lamps.

No.
All my cobra eyes are from Coupes.
I know all about the Convert.They are beyond Hens teeth today.
There was a 1969 Impala Convertible in the Car Corral at Peotone 3 years ago with U-46,& all interested buyers wanted to buy it for it's cobra eye.
It had to be worth 1/3 of the asking price to some.

Here's what the convert U-46 unit looks like...
