Don,
Back in 1985 when I bought my 85 T/A I saw this same article. I went for years without finding any info on the car. Then in 1989 at Trans-arama in Reno I ran into a guy from Washington who had this car. It had the same striping, hood bird and the red strip around the 16in High Tech wheels. His car was a 305 TPI with Auto. He had it for a few years and it was quite rough. It was bought as a Daytona Pace car replica. Unfortunately he did not know of any production numbers. I do not know were the car is today. Email me offline and I can give you his name and Phone number.

Car: 1983 25th Anny Daytona 500 T/A
Engine: Stock...inoperative... 305
Transmission: Automatic
Trans Ams paced Daytona for several years. In '82 it was a red T/A if I remember correctly. Pontiac didn't make production replicas of them most of the time. They only made two actual pace cars and some other look-alikes for the VIPs at the race. If you find one of the "real" pace cars or a race-event car, it'd be a rare find!
Of course there's the '83 run of replicas for general consumption that aren't too hard to find.

I managed to scan this from my bundle of 84-85 High Performance Pontiac mags I bought on ebay.

Not trying to change the subject, just adding on to it:
anyone ever seen (in real life) the 1982 Pikes Peak Trans Am Pace Car or the 1982 Nascar T/A Pace Car?
Here is a pic of both (left and bottom right; ignore upper right)
Thanks for any info.

I know this thread is super old, but I am trying to locate any original Daytona 500 Pace Cars for a possible reunion at the 50th DAYTONA 500...
Do any of these phone numbers still exist?
Thanks.
