Where's this INDY car
The Camaro Z28 was the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_car for the 1982 Indianapolis 500 race, and over 6,000 appearance replicas were sold through Chevrolet dealers. The edition featured special two-tone silver/blue paint and special striping, orange pin-striping on 15-inch (380 mm) Z28 wheels, and a silver/blue interior with six-way Lear-Seigler manually adjustable seating. Engine choices in the pace cars were the same as the regular production Z28. The car that actually paced the event was equipped with a highly modified all aluminum 5.7 L V8 that was not available on the replica cars.

Re: Where's this INDY car
The actual pace cars are probably sitting in someone's collection or a museum. There are two members on here who think they have 82 trans am pace cars from the Daytona 500, they got the same 5.7 swap.
