Talked to the son inlaw of the owner, he said that he did not remember the car your talking about. He said that he remembers that they painted a brand new corvette black that a man wanted to buy his wife for Christmass. He said they destroyed all the records when they moved in 1994. I asked a couple friends about the car, they do not rememeber it, I trying to get a hold of someone else thated worked there who might know about it. I will kept on trying.

My 69 Camaro Indy Pace Car is from Carl Ramsey Chevrolet, Brownsville, PA. I still have the dealer emblem. It was a &quot;rare&quot; car in that it is a column shift, powerglide, 10-bolt car. Why someone would equip an Indy Pace Car with all the goodies, but not go for the 3-speed or a console is amazing to me. However, they did spring for the shoulder belts, which was pretty expensive in comparison to the other options.

The car was a dealer trade from Anthony Chevrolet in Fairmont WV. The customer (the lady I bought the car from) wanted an automatic and Anthony Chev had only a 4-speed. Carl Ramsey had a pace car with automatic, so they traded it out.

Just thought you would want my Carl Ramsey Chevrolet story.
