Default Infos about this Vette

Hi guys,

A friend of mine has found this coupe in Germany :


The question he has about it is simple : is it a unique paint or did GM issue a special edition like this one?

If it is an original GM edition, is it a paint job or a decal job? (my friend hasn't seen the car yet)

Thanks for your feedback

Greg

I believe that is either the 1999 or the 2000 LeMans 24 Hour Pace Car livery.



I have seen blue and red versions of he Pace/Safety Car - never a yeloow version.

**edit**

It looks like it is the 2002 IRL Pace Car - looks to be the smae design as the LeMans PAce car, just on a Coupe instead of an FRC.

I believe it shows up when you are browsing the thread because the image is cached on youe machine. If you clear your cache then refreshed the page you would get a red x like we did.
