1969 Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car
1969 marked the 2nd time in three years that the Camaro had been chosen to pace the Indy 500
No other model before had this distinction.
Chevrolet was determined to turn this achievement into a major marketing opportunity by building a campaign around the Pace Car.
As in 1967, Chevrolet would build a number of Pace-Car replicas.
However, while the 1967 Pace-Car replicas were built primarily for use by journalists and race officials during the Indy 500 festivities;
this time around, Chevrolet would build a Pace Car as a regular-production option available to the general public.
Thus, Regular Production Option (RPO) Z11 was created.
This “Indy Sport Convertible” option was made available to the public on February 4, 1969.
Altogether, Chevrolet would build 3,675 Camaros with the Z11 option as Pace-Car replicas.
These were Super Sport / Rally Sport convertibles with Dover White exteriors and Orange Houndstooth cloth seats.
This car has only 62K Original Miles.
All Original except paint, top, and front seat covers.
Additionally all the regular maintenance items have been replaced.
Only correctly dated original-restored, & NOS items were used.
(cap, wires, hoses, brake pads, fluids, ect)
