Other Tracks Pace cars where are they today
 

I was reading an article on Camaro Pace Cars and was wondering what ever happened to the other tracks pace cars such as The Rebel 400 (Darlington) car, the Carolina 500 car, the Michigan International Speedway car, the 8th 24 hrs of Daytona pacer, the Staley 400 car from Wilkesboro Speedway, the Virginia 500 car, The Daytona 500 car, the Talladega 500 and then the Bristol Southerastern 500 car. All were White 69 RS/SS Convts most with the Chevy Dog Dish caps. (How did they keep those on at speed on the track) All with the exception of the Indy Pacer had the hockey stick stripes down the side Nice article with pics of the cars along with a 1/2 page on a 67 Pacer (Indy) that the mag shows a VIN of 124677N192215

Also in the same Mag is 4 page article on a LeMans Blue 69 Chevelle Yenko SC 427 VIN shown and stated is: 136379B408777

The car is loaded options, pwr windows, air cond.,tilt, am.fm four speaker blue dot stereo, folding seat, console guages, rear shoulder seat belt, urathane front bumper, head light washers, fibre optics, pwr top, 396 350 HP, Auto,
and was pretty original when purchased.

It's a 12B X22 coded car.

While we are discussing pace cars it is interesting, at least ,to me that all of the unsold or spoken for Indy 500 festival cars were purchased by Jack Douglass Chevrolet, after the event.

Jack Douglass was one of the track dignitaries, for the festival and presented a then Ultra Modern Gold ,digital watch to Vince Piggens, during track ceremonies.

Does anyone have a photo?
