Vehicle Description
Pre-production... 1 of 20... Official Pace Car... Oh yes, this 2010
Chevrolet Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car has all the hallmarks of
a very valuable future classic. So to find such a well-preserved,
low-mileage example at this kind of obtainable price might just be
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ok, time to remember your history. The 2009 Indianapolis 500 took
place less than two months into the brand new fifth-gen Camaro's
production run. So to make sure that the 20 official use vehicles
were out at Indy in time, Chevy gave them pre-production examples.
So that instantly makes these sought-after from day one. This coupe
is identified as #17 of 20 and it has averaged less than 2,000
miles annually. That means the factory Silver Ice Metallic still
has an amazing shine, the body lines are sharp, the large 20-inch
alloys still shine like mirrors, and the special Indy 500 decal
package is crisp enough to be identified from across the car show
field. This was a parade car, and not a track car, so there aren't
even holes for a light bar on the roof. This total preserved
package means you get a car that has been treated like a classic
since day one. So it can stay looking amazing while we all continue
to appreciate it for decades to come.
Inside is a loaded machine that nicely blends the retro car style
with all the right modern equipment. It starts up front with a set
of bucket seats that power adjust to your ideal position, and
they're even heated. And with so few miles on the odometer there
hasn't been a chance to scuff the leather. These cars were for
official personal use and parades only at the Indy 500, and so they
made sure the VIPs were kept in complete comfort. That means a huge
list of features, including, power windows, power locks, keyless
entry, and ice-cold air conditioning. The stereo is a premium
AM/FM/CD unit with connections for satellite radio and Bluetooth.
This also got the latest in safety, so you have anti-lock brakes,
front air bags, and side airbags. The retro part of this car comes
into play with cool throwback features like the deeply recessed
speedo and tach directly in front of you, and the auxiliary gauge
quad-pack built into the center console.
Pre-production means this car is truly the beginning point for the
Camaro's comeback, and so it's awesome to have the 6.2-liter L99 V8
under the hood. The original motor looks fantastic in the engine
bay - another great benefit of such a low mileage modern classic.
Completely stock and unmodified, it starts instantly and runs
beautifully thanks to the wonders of modern computer controls. In
fact, this 400 hp machine is combined with a six-speed automatic
transmission, so it has the ability to be everything from a true
tire-burning Camaro, to a sensible overdrive cruiser. And don't
forget, this is the first Camaro with a fully independent
suspension - so we know you won't be able to resist adding miles to
this time capsule. Plus, power steering, Brembo four-wheel disc
brakes, and modern performance tires means this is a total package
that will feel great on any road.
The sale comes complete with Indy 500 docs, an ownership history,
reproduction buildsheet, service manuals, and the owner's manual.
This is the modern Camaro that checks all the right boxes for
long-term desirability, so this may be your only chance it will
ever be so obtainable. Call today!!!
