I bought an 85 Z-28. It has a big blue sticker on the front windshield from Texas Motor Speedway, some one started to remove, but from what i can tell it says official pace car. The car is solid black and it looks original, i thought the pace cars had special paint and decals, can this be right? i mean you cant just buy stickers like that can you?

 

Sounds like the speedway used that car for their pace car, but that does not mean it's a Pace car Camaro. The 3rd gen pace cars are 1982's only and they are silver and blue. Sounds like you have a normal Z28 that was used as a pace car by a local track.

 

Ahh... Makes sense. I don't know why I thought every pace car was a "pace edition". Now That I think about it I feel a little silly lol

 

Maybe another silly question but were all pace car camaros used as pace cars?

 

I'd contact TMS & see if they can help you identify your car. I assume the decal shows the TMS name on it?

 

No. 6,360 '82 "Pace Cars Replicas" were built, so it would be a little difficult to have all of them on the track for one race.

According to the Camaro White Book, two cars were built for the actual race, and had all-aluminum 350s instead of the 305s that went into the 6,360 Pace Car Replicas that were sold to the public.

 

This is correct. It would have been a cool sight to see all 6360 of them together.

 

I didn't realize they made that many. Thanks for the education guys.

 

Are you sure it's Texas Motor Speedway or Texas World Speedway? TMS opened in 1997 as far as I remember. TWS opened in the 70's and hosted NASCAR races into the early 80's .

 

Yea its TMS, maybe it was used at a rally they held
My brother said it has another the says official tow vehicle WTF

 

Interesting that an 85 Camaro would be used by a track that opened in 1997. Do you have a picture of the car??

 

Ill see if i can get one, I'm 5 hrs from home now. Ill get someone to go by and get a pic of the sticker

 

Well that's odd-so the Camaro paced the races and towed the car off the track as well? LOL! Yeah please post some pix of the car.

 

Yea it's got to be bogus, there is no way to tow or push that wouldn't damage plastic

 

Sounds like somebody who had a TMS fetish went to the local Trimline store and had some stickers cut for himself.

I'm guessing, you don't have A CLUE how cheeeep and eeeeeezy that is?
