Default Re: 1967 Camaro Pace Car

This car has to be a put together look-a-like. The VIN is about 70,000 cars earlier than the first recorded 1967 pace car which is 191XXX. The first '67 pace cars were built the 3rd week of March. None built the 4th week for some reason, but the majority of the dealer and festival Pace Cars were built during the 4 weeks of April. There were Camaros built during the months of May, June and July, but they did not receive the pace car package, even though they were White RS/SS convertibles with deluxe blue interior. Those cars came with black pin stripes and a black bumble bee stripe. There were Canadian Pace Cars built and they were all built during the 3rd week of June. Those cars came with the blue striping like the 300 or so US built pace cars. Roughly 110 were used at the track during the month of May and some 200 or so were ordered by dealers. The dealer cars had the C-1 paint code and the Festival track cars all had the 0-1 paint code. The Canadian cars had the 0-1 paint code as well. The Los Angeles, CA built pace cars were all built during the 4 weeks of April. No festival cars were built in the CA plant.

Charlie, if you were wondering, your car had at least 14 other pace cars built before yours and the backup car. The first dealer built Pace car was in the 1st week of April and the last festival built pace car was also in the 4th week of April.
