Need help on vanity plate for Gordon Johncock's Camaro

New guy here looking for some suggestions. I got my hands on the 1982 Camaro Pace Car that was given to Gordon Johncock after he won the 1982 Indy 500. I'm trying to think up a clever license plate and would like to hear from anyone with ideas. Here's what I'm thinking so far:

82NDWNR
ND WINR
INDYWNR
2XNDWNR ( he won in 1973 and 1982)
1ST1982
1STND82
82 INDY

What do you think?

WNR kind of looks like wiener, IMO.

Unless you want to be the 82nd wiener, the North Dakota wiener, the Indy wiener, or two North Dakota wieners, I'd avoid the first four.

Re: Need help on vanity plate for Gordon Johncock's Camaro

82 INDY seems the most clear and clean. Can barely tell what WNR is, the average person wouldn't know what to think of ND.

Re: Need help on vanity plate for Gordon Johncock's Camaro

Thanks guys! 82 INDY is probably already taken but I'll check. Never thought about WNR = WEINER LOL, was afraid someone would think WHINER though. Any more ideas?

Re: Need help on vanity plate for Gordon Johncock's Camaro

Well, I know in AZ the plate 82 Indy is already in use by my father. I don't remember where you are located from the camaropacecars.com website so that might be available in your state.

Have you started any of the restoration yet? I think I remember hearing you say that it needs paint or something to that effect. Welcome to TGO.
