There was a '67 396 pace car featured in Super Chevy magazine in the late'70's that was drag raced only. However the original owner/racer took out the interior, engine and the rest of the driveline so they would not be damaged. Would not even drill holes anywhere in the car because he knew what he had and someday said he may put the car back to original. Car had aluminum slots in the back with Cragar 15x3.5's on the front. Cal Custom valve covers. Was partially sponsored by a upholstery shop I believe and was from Washington state , but not sure. Car was white with blue and maroon graphics. Does anyone know what happened to this car?

Charley,

Cool car. Now about the original blueprinting sheets, I've never seen any, but would sure like to. Have you ever had these docs on other GM blueprinted motor cars?

Didn't it have Dan Young on the sides?...BKH

[Stefano]

Charley,

Were you able to purchase the Pace Car for close to 1967 MSRP/ sticker price?

Well the cat is finally out of the bag ! Nice car

BKHPAH...It had Dan Young on it until it went back to Indy in about 1990. The track wanted it to look just the way it did the day it Paced the race so Dan Young removed the Lettering. It has been minus lettering since about 1990..Yes Stefano...MSRP..LOL
