Not a restored car ..Has had some detailing done to it over the years. Car has 16000 miles on it . About 10000 of those miles were put on it by USAC , as they used it at various races during the 67 Season. At the end of the Season they returned it to Chevrolet. Chevrolet then sold it to Dan Young Chevrolet in Indy. It has mainly been used for Parades etc. since. In about 1990 Dan Young loaned it to the Indy Museum and it stayed there for about 10 years. Dan Young is now Retired . Cool paperwork with it. I have the orig. Indiana title in Chevrolet's name. Car has a 325 hp 396 as per engineering order on the engine. Apparently the car was orig. shipped with L78, 4 speed but then returned and had 325 hp , auto built for it. I have the factory blueprinting sheets on the engine. Orig. rotting redline tires are still on it. Has the passenger sunvisor removed and a chrome grab handle instead and also 2 more grab handles in the back seat. Orig. pass sunvisor is in the trunk. Orig. spare in the trunk..Ahhhhhhhhhh

Charley,

Cool car. Now about the original blueprinting sheets, I've never seen any, but would sure like to. Have you ever had these docs on other GM blueprinted motor cars?

Didn't it have Dan Young on the sides?...BKH

Charley,

Were you able to purchase the Pace Car for close to 1967 MSRP/ sticker price?

Well the cat is finally out of the bag ! Nice car

BKHPAH...It had Dan Young on it until it went back to Indy in about 1990. The track wanted it to look just the way it did the day it Paced the race so Dan Young removed the Lettering. It has been minus lettering since about 1990..Yes Stefano...MSRP..LOL
