1967 Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car SS350
Yes - I have 2 of these Rare Camaros
The 1967 Indy 500 Pace Car - Camaro's Most Wanted Pacesetter.
It was the first time since 1955 that Chevrolet would be involved with the Indianapolis 500 Race.
1967 was also the first year of the Camaro. What better introduction could you ask for?!
Its first year and the Camaro was being given the distinctive honor of pacing the 51st Indy race.
A 1967 white and blue RS/SS convertible started the running of the “500” on May 30th; --
and it also started an undying love affair with the Camaro.
Picked by the pros for its smooth handling and front-running sporty looks,
the actual Official Pace Car was specially equipped with a bright blue custom interior, matching boot, rallye wheels,
D70 x 14” nylon cord red-line tires, blue nose stripe, an L35 396 V8 and an M40 Turbo-Hydramatic transmission.
As excerpted from The Official Chevrolet Indy Pace Car Book, by D.M. Crispino and John R. Hooper:
I found this car in December 2017, and purchased from the 2nd owner.
The original owner had purchased this car as a Dealer Demo - He was not aware of its historical significance.
