I'd like some help to see if a reported 69 396 Pace Car is actually a Festival car. What numbers do I need to post for someone to help me find out? And what other means (Indy documents?) are there out there that could help verify this was a Festival car?

There were no 396 Festival cars. See current post in the General forum. There were only 396 "Official" cars. I have a list of 6 big block VINs that were in the offical car list. All were 396 4 speeds. You need to get the VIN number, and the complete trim tag information.

That was what I thought. I had read there were only 43 Festival cars and all were 350's. Here are the numbers I was given. VIN 124679N608882
Build Date: 02D
Casting # 3955272
Casting Date: A29
I have many of the other numbers (rear end, etc. too)

124679N608882 is the number 11 Festival car. Then only problem is on the day of the indy 500 it had a 350/300HP engine with a TH350 transmission.
Can you send me (or post) all the numbers you have? Thanks
