Do you need many parts or have you acquired some already. Have you owned the car for long? Do you know much about its history, pace car details, was it customer ordered or track based, build sheet etc with the car?

pace car
unfortunately there was no documentation. It was an original paint car with a number matching drive train. Missing the dash rear bumper and front bumper and brackets. The shop sold the hood and ram air parts. built March of 1970. Looking to convert over to dual gate and add some option.

Keith, Can I ask please, from curiosity, were either lists you mention or any others you know of, written by Dr John Mansell from Pa? Reason I ask is I own a Ford Pace car that was his and he had other pace cars including a 70 4-4-2 that was posted about on this site.....I know that he went to Indy for many years and documented the pace cars there. The 69 Camaro guys use his list of cars as official, as he was physically there at that time and I believe there was not an official GM list for those cars. He documented many of the cars as queens car, festival, official etc. I was wondering if any of the lists you use were written by him also? Thanks, Paul.

Dr Mansell AKA DR PACE CAR loved go to indy just to get vins of the cars. I talked to him many years and we went over the pace car lists that Oldsmobile had the original and the Revised list. He had most of the numbers listed and I did add a few vins that were in the Pool. He told me then he had the lists an mention the 69 list you speak of. Yes he had the years he attended. So to answer your question the Oldsmobile lists were mostly complete but he gave me several vins not on either list.

hope you got my last response. also you need to start looking for festival and track information on the 68 year. here is one from ebay to start 152928008447 just be cautious of the pricing on some items. another avenue is to go to the track and visit the phone archives and do research on the 68 race. there will be many photos and the pace cars will be in there as well. they will sell you the pictures that you find (do not know the cost now). b&w as well as color. as for any list they will not have one but hey never hurts to ask
