Someone commented that the light doors were not working in this photo. I think on mine if I turn the engine off with the lights on the doors stay open. Then, when the key's off and I switch-off the lights, the lights go out but the doors remain open. I'll have to go check that. I think the photo depicts a "normal" condition.

My 43 k mile 68 RS/SS 396 had drum brakes as well...

I was at a car show with my 69 RS. I parked and got my lawn chair and was sitting by my car. There was an older lady sitting on the ground next to me. She commented on my ar being a very nice car. I told her thanks I love my car I only wish it was convertible.

She paused and then said my brother who is ill has a 67 convertible and he bought it new in 1967 from a dealer in Texas. She said he told her it was on the show room floor and had just rolled off he delivery truck.

I didnt think much as I figured it was a plain convertible. Her husband showed up a little later and I brought the camaro convertible back up. He says oh yes it has a 396 and its a true 4 speed. Needless to say they now have my attention. He mentioned someone offered them 9k a couple years ago. So they just left it in a garage hid from her brother who was fighting Ahltimers Disease. She said he tried to drive it to Colorade a few years earlier and got lost

A few days later I went and looked at the car. They put a new battery in it and fired it up. No smoke or knocks and it sounded damn good. I knew I had to have the car. I had no idea about the pace car thing. I saw it as a 396 convertible 4 speed. I bought it that day and drove it home. I started trying to decode the cowl tag & vin and couldn't decode L181A. I emailed CRG and they congratulated me on having a 67 Indy pace replica.
