A friend of mine in Texas bought 14 of the 1978 Pace Cars when they were released. They were around $14-15K at the time. About a year later he sold 12 of them for around $30-35K each and made a huge profit. They dropped in value in 1979 when Chevy decided to offer the same paint scheme without the Indy 500 decals. He kept 2 of them and I think he still has them up on blocks. They have risen in value somewhat during the last few years from what I've seen on the TV auctions.

I remember people were in a feeding frenzy buying up those pace car replicas. This is the first I've heard of someone actually making any money as a result.

A couple more from this past season at PIR. As per usual, all were taken using the full manual modes of the camera - nothing in auto.

I remember seeing one VERY early at Six Flags over Georgia. It was rotating outside of the Chevy Show there. Coolest thing I ever saw. You do know my picture is not a real car right? It's a 1:18 diecast.
