1969 Camaro Indy Pace Car Brief History

The '69 stands out above the rest with its Dover White paint accented by sunburn-bright Hugger Orange graphics; its distinctive Rally Sport grille and tail lamp treatment; and of course its unapologetically showy orange and black interior with hound's tooth upholstery.

To give 1969 Camaro buyers their chance to roll like an Indy 500 champ RPO Z11 was whipped up to make a convertible Camaro look like it just rolled out of the winner's circle.

The 1969 Camaro Indy Sport Convertible Option for Chevrolet SS/Rally Sport production cars included paint graphics and interior identical to the pace cars used at Indy as well as the "cowl induction" air induction hood and rally wheels. The privilege of owning a 1969 Camaro pace car replica came with a relatively high price tag at $3405 for a base model.

To make the resemblance even closer to some of the cars used at Indy Chevrolet recommended piling on extra-cost options such as a Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission Posi-traction power steering a power top a console with special instrumentation an AM radio front and rear spoilers a sport styled steering wheel custom deluxe seat and front shoulder belts and Soft-Ray tinted glass.

Though Chevrolet hoped to build one for each of its dealers approximately 6400 there were actually 3675 1969 Camaro pace car replicas built.

This Car: The "Yankee"

Owned throughout the 1980s by Terry L. of Minneapolis MN on January 17 1989 Terry sold it to Ed W. of Camarillo CA. Ed spent the next several years restoring the car to a very high standard. Notice the "Yankee" graphic on the trunk. If only the Pace Car could talk tell us all the wild times it had. That is Ed in the photos getting it onto the trailer the day he acquired it. Upon the full restoration Ed rarely drove the car it was kept indoors as a show piece.
