Yeah, it looked super clean.
I have no idea, if it’s legit or not, but it looked pretty original to me.
The interior was flawless, and it had that factory upholstery look.
If it was a restoration or a tribute car, the upholstery would’ve been done way nicer than it actually was done originally.
Same for the paint and chrome.
If it was legit, and you were a big fan of the Chevrolet Camaro and the 1969 Indy 500, like I’m sure, Mario Andretti is, then I don’t think, that $75,000 was really all that bad.
The car still looked brand new, like it had been in a time capsule or something.
But, you know what they say, about something being too good to be true?
Then it usually is.

A four speed big block in exceptional condition--maybe. I'm not seeing a small block car getting that kind of action. One of my favorite early Camaros but a real '67 Z28 would be the one for me. V/r Shawn
 
Yeah, but was it the official pace car to the 1969 Indianapolis 500?
That gives this car a historical connection that I’m sure adds a tremendous amount of value.
Kind of like the Persol sunglasses that Steve McQueen wore in the Thomas Crown Affair.
Maybe a $300 dollar pair of glasses at best, but because Steve McQueen wore them in a movie, they became $70,000 dollar glasses just like that.
I’m not saying that cars worth that kind of dough, but it did catch my eye, and actually, I’m more of a Ford guy anyway.

The winner of the Indy 500 is usually awarded the actual pace car. For the race they usually have some back-up cars and the only difference between these and the 'replica' pace cars sold to the public was some minor safety and lighting items. I would think that they would have used the big block cars for this but I'm sure some Camaro guru can weigh in--or a quick Google search! V/r Shawn
