Thanks Lynn , went to the site , Some what confusing to look at , I think I did not learn a whole lot more than what I knew already. Maybe some pacecar owners can help me learn more about these models..
I did not know that chev did not keep alot of production number info ??? Found this a little weird.

Thanks again Lynn . pacecar

1- 3675 were made, no breakdown on engines and transmissions is available. Rough guess is that there are around 1000 big blocks and 2700 small blocks.

2- Yes they all had orange houndstooth interiors.

3- None of them (except the two real ones)left the factory with the decals they were shipped in the trunk and the dealer installed them if the buyer wanted them.

4- Never seen any GM of Canada info for a pacecar yet. doesn't mean none were bought in Canada just that I haven't seen the paperwork. None were shipped overseas by GM. Who knows if any private buyers did. Alledgedly Mario Andretti's car that he got for winning the race was shipped to Australia around 1975. I know of at least 2 that are in Australia right now.

[Z-11 396]

In 1993, the United States Camaro Club released the following production figures they had for the 1969 Pace Car's:Production;;3,675, L 35, 325 hp. 120 made,...L 34, 350 hp. 36 made,...L 78, 375 hp. 87 made , ... L 89, ....6 made....It would be interesting to find out what the new registery figures are 12 years later...Please post them when you find out, I would sure like to know...thanks

Ok, so that will support my summation of 200-300 made with the 396 , then you have to break it down by transmission! So, Mark C., where do you get your 1000 # from???

Did you forget the previous discussion you were involved in. No one knows for sure, but several posters in the previous thread made educated observations. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...6/fpart/1/vc/1

The 1000 came from the fact I have info on 267 Z11's (drivelines, VIN, trim tags etc.) and 59 of them are big blocks which makes the big block percentage around 18 to 20 percent of this total. There are another 25 that the original engine is unknown and the rest are L48's. There are 3 L89's, 4 L78's and the rest are split between L35's and L34's.

Of course since thats less then 10 percent of the total original population the numbers could be skewed, but unless someone has better data I'm sticking with that figure as the upper limit.
