Hoping someone from CRG reads this...

Where can I find info/pictures of the Daytona 500 Pace Car?

I have seen ads for sale on [Ebay] and did not even know these cars existed.

How many of them were there? 1, 2 more?

Anyone who knows, please chime in.

Thanks!!!

Mark,

What book is that from?

There was an article in Super Chevy (?) a few or more years ago about the Daytona 500 pace car that had all the drivers signatures on it. It was going to be restored and they were wondering if the signatures could be saved. This must be the restored car that was in that article. I doubt the signatures were saved as they were all over the white paint on the car.

There is also a 1968 Daytona Pace Car that was restored by Year One.

"Muscle Cars of the 60-70's." It's a magazine.

The Daytona Camaro with the signatures all over it is a 68. It's the one Year One restored. I'm not sure if it's a Daytona pace car or an Alabama International Raceway (Talledega) It sits in the Talledega track museum. The original fenders and quarters with the signatures were removed and replaced, because there was no way to restore the panels and retain the signatures. The originals are displayed with the car.

Heres the 67 version:
