So let me see if I follow you because somewhere here you about lost me.

Someone took a real Pace Car (and a very rare one to boot) and made a fake Pace Car out of it????

WTF... I got to think that the 1 of 10 Canadian 327 Pace Car would be worth more then that fake Pace Car!

What kind of rocket scientist came up with that move??

Hi guys, just too add my 2 cents in on this. If you look at the pics the car has pdb but the center caps read cmd, not pdb there is a camaro emble on the glovebox door never seen one on a 67 and heres the best part look at the gauges (gas and speed)they are silver and shiny like the 68's. Theres more but i type too slow. I like reading your comments on the e-bay cars they have been very insightful. thanks aw

Just noticed something else after looking at Jeff's car (a very nice car) shouldn't the seatbelts also be blue? Man this is sad. What if the owner does not realize any of this, or found out and trying to unload.

Man, this thing is up to $75,000 already. I wonder if these bidders are educated about Camaro's and what to look for. Reading some good reference books and talking to knowledgeable people could save them some money down the road.

Look at the pics real close again. Just because it has a power booster doesn't mean it has power disc brakes. The master cylinder is clearly for a drum brake car and it doesn't have the proportioning valve. And yes the gauge package is for a 68 as well as the glove box door and the deck lid and on and on and on.


They couldn't even get the wiper motor installed correctly.

Yes, You see that correctly. I have a former owner to thank for that.
The car is really Silver Blue metalic, with Dark blue interior.
A real shame, because the car was 100% original, except a dealer got a hold of it in the mid 90's and put this crappy red paint right over the original color.(Resale Red?)

I will restore the car someday, and put it back. But for now it is the only car I can really enjoy.
I drive it to work a few times a week, and every weekend.

I even park it on the street at the Bar scene in Ft. Lauderdale. Don't really worry about chips, or stuff like that.

I know, that when I paint the car, I would no longer drive it as much as I do. anyways, The paint really looks much better in the pictures than it really is.

There is nothing I can do to "little Red" That hasn't been done 1000 times.

Thanks for Asking!
Jeff

As far as the ebay car goes - It's a mess.
Many of the engine componets don't look right.

And you know: - "If they couldn't get the big stuff right"
I can only imagine what you would see if you look real close.

Heck - The interior is 3 different colors?
