Vehicle Description
It's an easy bet that the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car is going to be a highly desirable collectable. Built with an eye towards the other classic pace cars before it, they are a limited production that will make you wish in the future that you took advantage of the opportunity for this low mileage and well documented example here.
With only 294 Indianapolis 500 pace cars built for 2010, this will always be the star of any Camaro show. It's hard to mistake it for any others with the correct Indy 500 badging on the fender and the decals on the doors for the "Centennial Era" (the first race was in 2011.) But this coupe is much more than just a rare special edition. Inferno Orange is a terrific color that we all can't help but think of the iconic Hugger Orange. The difference there's more aggressive red tones and a deeper metallic element in the newer paint. So while this color will always be engrained in our history, you'll see how much more intimidating it is every time you park next to a Hugger car. Of course the white rally stripe package is another big part of making this a modern-day icon. Add in the fact that this rare edition has always been treated like a classic since day one, and you've got a true low mileage standout that will be appreciated for decades to come.
Step inside and this coupe has the same iconic and aggressive attitude stitched into the interior, literally. The premium upholstery on this Camaro SS means the bright orange paint wraps around the doors and runs across the dashboard. The higher packaging also came with leather seats with orange inserts and stitching. Plus, you are reminded of how special this one is again by the special Indy 500 patches stitched into the headrests. This is a retro car, so that means blending old and new styles together. The three-spoke steering wheel feels fat and grippy in your hands and offers an unobstructed view of the deeply recessed gauges that are a modern take on the round dials in an early Camaro. Auxiliary gauges are down low on the console where they belong. They blend nicely with modern touches like the air conditioning and radio controls. Plus, this one is loaded with remote start, keyless entry, power windows, power seats, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, and a kicking AM/FM/XM/CD/iPod stereo. A modern classic also means modern safety features like the dual front airbags, side air bags, and ABS.
With only 33,733 miles on the car, the original motor (with cover painted to match the exterior orange) looks fantastic in the engine bay. The snarling 6.2-liter all-aluminum V8 of the SS trim is ready to play. Docile around town, but ready to bring the thunder with 426 horsepower, there aren't many Camaros of legend that can run with this Super Sport. Completely stock and unmodified, it starts instantly and runs beautifully thanks to the wonders of modern computer controls, and when you let the six-speed automatic transmission slip into overdrive, it actually does pretty well on the highway, too. Power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and modern performance tires on those gorgeous 20-inch factory alloy wheels means this is a total package that will feel great on any road.
Complete with original window sticker and owner's manual, this is the collectable future classic that's a blast to drive today. You know how you wish you collected the '69 pace car because of how much they're worth today. So don't let this modern opportunity pass you by. Call today!!!
