I ran a local ad looking for 67 seats.

Got a call from a guy who said he had a box of camaro parts off a 67 Camaro convertible.

I told him I'm restoring a 67 Pace car. He said the parts were bought for a possible pace car. He said it has blue interior and he believes it to be white. He said the car gets drove once maybe twice a year at best. Its been stored with top down.

He goes on to say the car is no rust bucket it just deserves to be restored. Says they cant prove its a pace car because decals are long gone.

I offered to come look at it and give them my opinion. He is contacting his friend to set something up.

I'm for sure going to look at the box of parts on Saturday and I'm hoping to catch a look at the car.

STAY TUNED !!

GOTTA BE TO GOOD TO BE TRUE ???

I just got done meeting the owner. He bought the car in 1972 for $200.00..

He said he was told years ago by a camaro shop in Chicago it was not a pacer because it didnt have black seats. But he was confident it was a pace car.

It appears to have all original interior. Seats and dash look really darn good..

Car had a repaint years ago.

Original motor is long gone but has original tranny and rear end.

He still drives it om occassion..

What a jewel...

Just sitting in an old Iowa barn collecting dust...

THIS IS AWESOME...

ONLY A FEW MILES FROM WATERLOO......

He was nice enough to let me write down the vin and cowl tag info..

I forgot my camera but he said I'm more than welcome to come back and snap pictures.

HE EVEN OFFERED TO LET ME TAKE IT FOR A SPIN..

I LOVE IOWA !!

Hey Sappy,
Now that you have made contact and got our juices going you have to give us some more info and maybe get some pics for us. Can you share with us the cowl tag info that you got? Too bad you forgot your camera. I would have loved to seen some pictures.:-) Maybe in the future you can go back and get some.:-) Sounds like a great start though. keep us updated buddy!

is this pace car heaven? no it is northeast iowa. what a find? hopefully we will be able to get back for pics soon. i can't wait

There was a code below the 5BY but I couldnt make it out. When I go back to get pictures I was going to take a pencil and paper to raise the code..

Unreal

Field of Dreams Part 2 !!

sounds like the camaro shop in chicago wasn't much of a camaro shop huh guys! duh

jeb

I plan on going back tomorrow. I plan on snapping pictures just the way she sits..

I will have pictures on here by weekends end...

Stay tuned....

That would be awesome Sappy to get some pics up on the site. I look forward to it and so will a lot of other members.:-)

309 AM and I'm still thinking about how lucky I am at getting to see an 0-1 pace car today..

I have got to wonder what the chances of coming across and buying 2-LA BB pace cars and then coming across an 0-1 pace car all within 2 years. All three cars being in the area of Waterloo,Iowa. Not that big of town 68,000 people or so.

Something amazing going on here.

Pace Car Gods are speaking !!

Sappy - sounds like your the pace car magnet.

It shows there are still many more out there waiting to be found.

Is the owner able to join in with us all here?

I would say no on him being willing to joining the site. Not his thing..

I have my camera in hand and headed to work..

I plan on stopping by on my lunch to snap some pictures...

I cant wait to share his story with you..

I think its the most wild story of all three..

I was hoping to snap some pictures of it sitting in the barn. But he was nice enough to move it out before I got there.

He offered again to let me take it for a spin. He also said I know where the keys are if I ever want to drive.

The guy is awesome !!

He was offered $1500.00 for it last year. He decided to keep... AWESOME !!

Solid old girl...
