LG-4 J/65 and a Manual trans.

That is one Rare car.

I have an LU-5/J65 and by estimates about 31 were made with the LU-5, but as to the car for sale-- I cannot imagine the rarity of this individual car.

I would pull the auction and take it to Barrett-Jackson.

I almost forgot about those giant quartz clocks in the console, which were available 82-85. Very cool car.

Someone just revealed that this is a Festival Car and was at the race.

Quote:
I have the Indy Assignment Lists for a number of years, to include 1982. This particular car was #77 out of the 80 cars on the list. #1-44 were assigned to the 500 Festival Directors, #45-55 were for track officials, #56-78 were used in the 500 Festival Parade, #79 was a Courtesy Car, #80 went to the race winner.
I would think that adds alot of value here. I would market it as that. Only 80 of these at the race in 1982.

Sold for $23,500 on Friday the 13th. The buyer said it best: "Not fast but still a cool car."

I have driven a couple of these back in the day, and they just felt like such slugs. There are lots of cars I don't MIND being slow. I know my 69 Opel GT 1.1 is slow. My 49 Studebaker farm truck is slow. Even Sherri's plug in hybrid is slow, and we use it as a commuter car.

But this is a freakin PACE CAR. I don't care if it is low mileage, I would have to put a proper mill in it to be able to enjoy it. Really, all the GM cars from 76 until Buick came out with the GNX are just turds. I realize some are climbing in value because guys that were in HS in 1983 or 84 really wanted (XXX car, fill in the blank) when they first came out. I just don't see them ever competing with real muscle cars. And yes, I know that the "real muscle cars" can't do jack chit compared with the modern stuff.

This car is 39 years old. Think about what a 69 Z/28, L78, or COPO was worth at the same age (2008). Okay, maybe go back to 2007. Other than the appearance, the only thing this car has over a 69 is that it would handle better; which is why I would have to put a real motor in it.

LU-5= Cross fire Fuel injection. Duel TBI units set up on tooling partially borrowed (lower plenum of the two pc) from the over the counter Cross Ram originally used on the 302's.

J-65 Factory 4 wheel Disc brakes. First availability on the Camaro since last offered in 1969.

LG-4 Standard 305 with Quadrajet.

The point on this particular pace car is that it was a 4 barrel car ordered with 4 wheel disc brakes and it's a manual transmission.

The overwhelming majority of the J-65 pace cars that survive are the Automatic's equipped with LU-5, and any Z-28 or any 1982 Camaro equipped with 4 wheel discs. That makes this car super unique.
