Chevrolet to Offer Limited Number of Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car Replicas















Chevrolet will build and sell a replica of a Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car for the first time since 1993. Chevy is setting out to build a collectible vehicle that will appeal to the die-hard Camaro and Indianapolis 500 fan and believes they have done just that with the 2010 Chevy Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Limited Edition. This will be the second year in a row that 2010 Camaro SS will pace the Indianapolis 500.

The model will be based off of the Camaro 2SS/RS production Model, painted Inferno Orange Metallic exterior and Inferno Orange interior. The vehicle will include: a 6 speed automatic transmission with remote start, 20” polished aluminum wheels, full body white pearl decal rally strips, Inferno Orange Heritage front grille, Inferno Orange V8 engine cover, Premium floor mats, front head rest with Indy 500 logo embroidered, Indy 500 logo on the doors, and Cloisonne on the front fender. The MSRP for this model is $41,950 plus destination, tax, title, license, and dealer fees.

There will only be 250 of these units produced. Fifty of these cars will be used at the track as festival cars by the race officials. They will be disposed of at the end of the race by the usual means previously used to dispose of past festival cars. The remaining 200 models will be new vehicles and allocated to the top Camaro Dealers based on 2009 Camaro Sales. Dealerships slated to receive this unit have already had this limited edition unit ordered. Once released from the Oshawa Plant, it will show in their “In-Transit” or “In-Stock” tabs of order workbench. There will be no free-flow-ordering available on this unit at this time.

Phillips Chevrolet is one of only two dealerships in Illinois that will receive a pace car.
