1969 Camaro Indy Pace Car Brief History

The '69 stands out above the rest, ith its Dover White paint accented by sunburn-bright Hugger Orange graphics; its distinctive Rally Sport grille and tail lamp treatment; and of course, ts unapologetically showy orange and black interior with hound's tooth upholstery.

To give 1969 Camaro buyers their chance to roll like an Indy 500 champ, PO Z11 was whipped up to make a convertible Camaro look like it just rolled out of the winner's circle.

The 1969 Camaro Indy Sport Convertible Option for Chevrolet SS/Rally Sport production cars included paint, raphics and interior identical to the pace cars used at Indy, s well as the "cowl induction" air induction hood and rally wheels. The privilege of owning a 1969 Camaro pace car replica came with a relatively high price tag at $3,405 for a base model.

To make the resemblance even closer to some of the cars used at Indy, hevrolet recommended piling on extra-cost options such as a Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, osi-traction, ower steering, power top, console with special instrumentation, n AM radio, ront and rear spoilers, sport styled steering wheel, ustom deluxe seat and front shoulder belts, nd Soft-Ray tinted glass.

Though Chevrolet hoped to build one for each of its dealers, pproximately 6,400, here were actually 3,675 1969 Camaro pace car replicas built.
