Introduced as Chevys front line weapon in the “muscle car” craze of the 1960’s, the Camaro name and reputation has grown to become synonymous with great 1960’s style and “Hot Rod” performance. First produced in 1967, and continuing to this day, the Camaro has become one of the most iconic cars ever made. Chevrolet equipped special versions of the Camaro to Pace the Indy 500, as a promotional excercise, they built and sold a limited number of them to the public. These cars helped define the muscle car era. Featuring high level trim packages and big V8 engines, they were brought to the Indy 500 to both pace the race and to be used as parade cars for local officials and celebrities. The 1969 Camaro “Pace Cars” were classified as the Z11, they were all white convertibles with orange stripes and came in a variety of engine combinations; more than 3500 of these cars were produced. The Z10 while not at the 1969 “500”, were referred to as “Pace Car Coupes”; they were made as an homage to those cars, and were built to the same spec as the pace cars but in coupe form; only 500 of these were produced.
