Very nice truck.I have seen others or that same one before.I wonder if they had some trucks at Indy like that.The Camaro was the pace car.The truck isn`t trying to be a pace truck,but an official truck,like a support vehicle or just a promo from Chevy.I think I`ve seen a truck like that in old pics of the`67 Indy.

Cyclone44 · 04-01-2008, 04:00 PM

That would be neat to find out that it is the real deal..

72armyswbtruck · 04-01-2008, 04:06 PM

I know that I have seen pics and adds that show an official pace truck, there is even some pics here on the board somewhere

I don't remember ever seeing an Indy Pace Truck back in 67. Course theres lots of things I can't remember. Like said above the car was a camaro. I grew up less than two hours from Indy. Maybe they were used for advertising.

Cool piece of history. more than likely, these support vehicles were for hauling things around getting ready for the race, and used during the race to get safety members to the scene of an accident if/when one during the race. they still do the same thing as far as selecting a pace car, an official truck & an official "car" that is not a pace car, but for transporting people around, generally outside of the track.

60 OFFICIAL pace Camaros? Average $50000 a piece, x 60 = 3million just in Camaros alone......

That's the 69 pic, not the 67, geez, but still

**Hart_Rod** · 04-01-2008, 11:31 PM

Does that mean the Suburban in worth the most, since there are only 2 of them?!

ed2552 · 04-01-2008, 11:34 PM

Probably

19673ontree · 04-02-2008, 01:18 AM

**special-K** · 04-02-2008, 06:15 AM

I see 4 also

**special-K** · 04-02-2008, 03:08 PM

Yeah,four trucks all together

.But in the one photograph,I can only see enough of the front of the truck in the background to gather it may be a duplicate of the whole truck shown.What I can see of the top of the other is enough to assume the same,looking back now.
