how can I find out if this car is a true pace car?

 

The "Y74" on the cowl tag is the indicator.

 

Can anyone give me information on this 1970 pace car?

 

At the least, by the VIN and data tag, it is a convertible Cutlass. It was manufactured in the third week of March, 1970. Trim (TR) code 970 is Black Bucket Seats. Paint 10 A is Porcelain White with Black top.

 

I think you already got your answer on FB.

 

I’m just asking to get all the information from all sources

 

Well, exactly what information are you looking for? It's a Y74 cowl tag. The list of track cars was posted on FB. That list even has the key codes that will let someone cut a key for this car. What more do you want to know? FYI, crowdsourcing info on the interwebs will typically yield about 80% incorrect info and 20% correct. How do you plan to differentiate between those?

 

Instead of bringing up a post four years old, why did you not start your own new one? I see you are new to the site but you should learn to look at dates before posting.

 

He did that too. Now I've merged those posts. FYI, that old post ALSO had the list of VINs from the track cars, which should have been easy to check against the OP's VIN.

 

A is a White top.

If you want information, go ask the owner.

Legendary...just legendary...this "pace car" is like COVID 19. Just doesn't want to go away and can be a nightmare for anyone that has to deal with it.

 

Thanks for catching that and the correction, slantflat.

 

Awesome!!!
