HOW MANY Z - 11 396'S --WERE BUILT ?

[ProdigyCustoms]

We did a Pace car registry at Camaro Club some time ago and got a few hundred cars registered. Looked like maybe 5% or so were big block, which seems about right, 150 cars or so. Funny thing about Pace cars in particular. Pace Cars were doled out as rewards to performing dealers, and were sent on spec. In other words, the dealer got what they got. Since the Pace Cars got so expensive with RS / SS and Pace Car options, Chevrolet seemed to build the majority of them 350/300, automatic, PS, PB and not much else. No gauges, AM / FM, not even power tops many times. The higher optioned cars were most often dealer order cars. Cars with power options, A/C, Big blocks, all were probably special order.
Loaded Pace Cars, weather they be small block A/C cars with options, or big block pacers are surely pretty rare. But as mentioned above, no legit numbers are out there, and only common sense extrapolations can be made
