I thought I might share something rare I came across a couple of days ago!

  Hello Everyone,

   I had to go to Harwood Motors here in Northern Ohio to pickup a 1930 Cadillac Conv I am transporting to Los Angeles. It will then be flown to a customer in Russia.

   I had to wait a couple of hours for the wire transfer to be accepted, a slight delay when you are talking about $169,900.00 LOL The wait was ok though as Harwood is known for always having a large inventory of high end cars.

   I saw this & thought I might share it! They made 50 of them. One was totaled on the pace lap. According to Mike from Harwood, this is one of 5 that is still all original.

   Last picture is of course the Caddy!

   God Bless & Happy New Year

That's pretty cool! Wonder what that Challenger is worth?

That Cadillac is pretty nice but not my cup of tea. Someone in Mother Russia has a new toy coming.

 They don't really go for all that much. It being all origional would help but 318 doesn't help it any. I thoight they were all column auto cars🤔 There was a discusdion here a few minths back about them. A member in Indy sold one but it needed a lot of work. I'd love to have one

There's a pace car near me also. I wonder how many they made. The caddy is great but sad to say the generation that wanted those cars are slowly disappearing. I often wonder what the fate of those cars and ours will be in the future.

Sounds close to Murray's thread... https://forum.e-bodies.org/cuda-and-challenger-general-discussion-roseville-moparts/2/lots-of-projects/9661/

sounds like someone paid around $169,900 plus transportation costs to Russia, for an 88 year old Cadillac .....
looks like our ~48 year old cars have some collectable life left in them 

there are 50 actual '71 Challenger "Indy pace cars" that were used for on-track festivities
two 383 4bbl (primary & back-up Pace Cars) - three 383 2bbl - three 340 4bbl & the rest are 318

the 340 cars are the only ones that "might" have had a "sport hood" (the rest are flat)

an unknown number of "replicas" were ordered by dealers after-the-fact

the car "damaged" at the start of the race was far from "totaled" & was fixed not too long ago, it sat wrecked for a long time
it now resides at ---- https://www.facebook.com/rpmcollection

 Thank You 6bblgt for clearing up a few things. I am sure the gentleman that gave me a few details was not up on the recent restoration
of the wrecked one.

  Here is a link to their ad describing this car.  I have no affiliation with them other than just picking up the Caddy there & I will be dropping a 442 there in a couple of weeks.

Turns out this one was completely restored. I don't believe the price is too far out there being a real car & also being completely redone.

God Bless & Happy New Year

Needs PolyGlas tires nice car, optimistic price

Wouldn't the Goodyear Speedway tires with the original wheels would be a better choice?

[JH27N0B]

Aren't those the wheels that were shown as being a wheel choice on Challengers in the option book, but never released?
If so good luck finding a set!
I've seen a few pace car Challengers over the years so I never thought them super rare.
The accident at the 500 always gave them a dubious destinction in my mind!

Those wheels were not on all 50 of them, I think they were only on the actual pace car that crashed.

[6bblgt]

the #1 pace car is the only one with the Motor Wheel "EXITER" wheels and "SPEEDWAY" Goodyear tires on it
- wonder if 14" rallye wheels and F70-14 POLYGLAS are consistent for the rest of them

Their ad says no one was seriously hurt.
I've always heard at least 1 photographer was killed, maybe more?
