Cheers or Jeers: 417 Mile 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Pace Car

The all-new Camaro was selected to pace the 1993 Indianapolis 500, becoming the first car in history to be selected for that honor four times. To commemorate the event, Chevrolet built 645 Pace Cars to be sold to the public. This particular '93 Camaro Pace Car has just 417 miles from new, and is perfectly preserved in every way imaginable. Fully documented, this is an investment-grade vehicle from an amazing collection of low-mileage Indy pace cars and is possibly the nicest example in the world. Chevrolet has always gone all-out on their pace cars. Unlike some manufacturers who merely slap on a set of decals and call it done, the Camaro features a two-tone paint scheme designed by Corvette Hall of Fame member Randy Wittine, who also designed most of the Corvette Pace Car paint jobs. With flowing graphics that look like unraveling tape, the car looks like it is constantly in motion. Of course, it also features the customary Indy 500 Official Pace Car decals on the doors, as well as Indianapolis Motor Speedway insignias on the front fenders. This car was purchased new to become part of this collection, and as such has never been driven any significant distance and has never seen rain. Every component and finish is exactly as it was when Chevrolet delivered this Camaro to the dealership in 1993. In fact, thanks to careful care and a lifetime of careful polishing and waxing, it may even look better than it did rolling off the assembly line. This is a seriously nice car. The Camaro Pace Car interior was unique, and featured multi-colored fabric on the seats and a fade-away pattern on the door panels, tying in beautifully with the exterior paint job. In this car, you'll simply have to take our word for it that the seats are immaculate-they have been wrapped in plastic since they were new and are perfectly preserved. The dashboard has with fully functional gauges that use bright yellow graphics and pointers, similar to the Camaro Z/28 . This car is loaded with options, including A/C, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power driver's seat, a leather steering wheel, a Delco-Bose entertainment system, and removable glass T-tops. You'll also notice that it features a 4-speed automatic transmission, which is how the actual pace car at the Indy 500 was equipped. This is a very fast car that needed no mechanical upgrades to effortlessly pace the Indy 500 with the LT1 under the hood borrowed directly from the Corvette. The engine bay is a restorer's road map to show you exactly how these cars were assembled and marked, and every component is as new. With the exception of the battery, every component is the exact one that was installed on the assembly line 19 years ago, including spark plugs and wires. The chassis is equally spotless, with all factory markings and tags fully intact. There are no Camaro Pace Cars more authentic than this one. The wheels are Z28 16-inch alloys that were painted Arctic White to match the lower half of the body, and it still wears its original Goodyear GS-C tires. Heck, they may even still have vintage 1993 air in them! Documentation is critical on a limited edition piece like this, and this one comes with everything required to certify its status. There's the original window sticker, build sheet, pre-delivery checklist, owner's manual, warranty booklet, and dealership certification paperwork. This car is an astounding snapshot of Camaro performance and Indianapolis 500 history. Pace Cars have always been highly sought collectibles, and this is the most desirable of all the 1993 Camaros. With low production and astoundingly low mileage, if you are a serious Camaro enthusiast, this is the one that needs to be in your collection. You simply will not find a better one anywhere.
