I agree at the low price. Someone got a great deal. I'm throwing $ at my 88 35th trying to make it look like new and I think by the time I finish I will pass $11K with paint being the killer.

Bring a trailer isnt really a great site IMO. Keep in mind the buyers paid extra fees on top of that price. And frankly, everyone there puts some crazy values on stuff too.

The guy that bought that car is reportedly going to strip it of the pace car stuff and change the seats...

With that in mind, he didnt get a good deal. Why not buy what you want instead of spending 11k on a car you are then going to spend 2-3k more on... Because in that case he isnt going to end up with a 13-14k dollar car...

Sadly most people don't even know what a Pace Car is now a days...at one time Indy car was bigger then NASCAR.

It's an ok deal for a 95, I've seen 96 LT4 in great shape going for about the same.

I live about 8 miles from the speedway, Indy 500 track; , These cars were all over the place, on the streets of Speedwy and Indianapois too, before the race. They recieved a lot of attention at the time, most folks thinking they were pretty cool. They do look a lot better in person than in the pics, when fresh anyway. I dont care for the look anymore but had high intrerest when they first appeared. Sometimes you still see one being driven around town.

Its all in the BAT discussion.

He says he is going to re-paint the car and get new seat covers.

People on there told him he is an idiot.

Well.... I like the C4 one a little, and I like the c5 best to be honest. I would consider a c5 pace car.

The wheels are the worst part of this whole car... very interesting because some people think the wheels are the *best* part of the 1995 pace car.

Hopefully the winner of this auction lives nearby and didn't have to pay for shipping / auto transport to him. That white convertible top needs to be black!

My eyes hurt! That C5 design/look has to be one of the worst factory cars made - Top 10 without debate
