Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
With the merger (I think that's what it was) of Champ Car with IRL, Champ Car is auctioning off a whole crapload of stuff, including three thirdgens which appear to have been pace cars at some point:

Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
The 1986 is a Convertible to boot... sounds like a nice one too...
Notice how ALL three of those cars started life with an LG4?
Thanks for the tip, I would be interested in seeing what they go for...

Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
Look at that '92 Z28 on there. It's white, but the exterior is completely custom, looks nothing like a Camaro. I didn't even notice it till I saw the car description.

Never seen camaros like that.They seem incredible but odd at the same time.
Hope they fix that orange one; nobody would buy a car with a flat tire

Scott you missed one...
At first I thought it was a 4th Gen but the Door windows are stragith instead of angled like a 4th gen... Kind of Looks like a Berlinetta interior.

Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
I actually don't really like the white one. I think the covers over the rear wheels just make me think Oldsmobile. However, if someone would buy me the orange car (flat tire and all) I'd be forever in their debt.

Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
Is it me, or do those hood louvers on the orange one (with the flat) look. . . real??? Intresting amount of switches and do-hickey's on the center console too. . .

I think they look awful. That orange and white interior just says Pimp.
