Default is it just me or...

...are there an aweful lot of pace cars for sale on ebay right now? considering how easy it is to turn a 79 into a 78 pace, i'd be very skeptical.

I dont know.... an awful lot of pacecars were put away as "investments", that have worked about as well as investing in NASDAQ 2 1/2 years ago!! :lol: It has been 25 years, so these cars are finally "classics" so it is the right time to sell. Also, there were a lot of pace cars made. Look at how many 96 Grand Sports are for sale (check ebay, Rodgers, Grandsportregistry, Hemmings... maybe some double counting, but...) out of a total of only 1000 made. :eek: MJ

The first few letters of the VIN number will be different for a pace car, from what I have heard. Of course if the last few digits are higher than 6502, it is a phony.

for the pace cars, the eigth digit will be a 9 rather than a 4, but i'm sure there are some people that don't even know or bother to check that. plus it is possible to change the VIN.
