DESCRIPTION
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Pace Car Convertible
In February 1969, General Motors held a press conference to unveil the modified Camaro SS/RS convertible that would serve as the pace car for the 1969 Indianapolis 500. This was the second time a Camaro would serve in this role since it had previously done so in 1967. However, this time, GM was pulling out all the stops. Two cars would be built for the actual pace car duty, a primary vehicle and a backup, each thoroughly inspected and specially modified by top Chevrolet engineers, but GM also built one replica that would be given to the winner of the race. Additionally, a large fleet of 130 replicas and support vehicles were brought to the track. This fleet was used by race officials, media, and VIPs. After the Indy 500, Chevrolet dealers offered the Pace Car replica package as option code RPO Z11, "Indy 500 Pace Car Accents". The Z11 package cost a mere $36.90. According to Camaros.org, a total of 3,675 Z11 Camaro Pace Car replicas were produced for the 1969 model year. A Z10 coupe version was also offered at certain dealers in the Southwest; approximately 500 vehicles were built with that option.
Exterior
Dover White covers the straight steel slabs on this car, which are all minding their gaps very well and it's really nicely buffed and has a glass like presentation with only a few faults upon close inspection. Also, adorning the exterior are dual wide Hugger Orange painted on racing stripes, which. well race up the long hood of this pony car stopping at the front windscreen and continue on the small rear deck and cool spoiler atop. At the front of its body, a satin black grille hangs a familiar "SS" emblem above clean parking lamps, a small black spoiler, chromed bumper and correct RS hidden headlights. Behind that grille, a requisite Camaro header fronts a cowl induction hood, which flows to a tinted greenhouse that's dressed in polished mirrors, polished wipers and straight stainless trim. All this topped by a tear free but slightly stained white canvas convertible top. On the sides, stainless trim frames the wheel openings and a rocker spears between them, correct quarter louvers are on as well as traditional door handles and ornate fender emblems. One cannot miss the huge door decal noting this car as an Official Pace Car, and at the back of the car, an "SS" branded filler panel, RS taillights, and a second chromed bumper. 14" deep dish rally wheels.
