For the second time in three years the Camaro was selected to pace the Indianapolis 500. Chevrolet capitalized on the publicity and released 3,675 limited edition “Pace Car Replicas” in the coupe (RPO Z10) and convertible form (RPOZ11), like this car.

Chevrolet RPO (Regular Production Option) Z11 is “Indy 500 Pace Car Accents,” which basically created the orange-striped Z28 hood and deck lid stripe for the Indy pace car replicas. The Z11 option cost just $36.90, but resulted in a slew of options: white convertible top, spoilers, deluxe seatbelts, Rally wheels, cowl induction hood, Rally Sport, Super Sport, and custom orange Houndstooth cloth interior.

Every pace car is an SS, and every pace car was also an RS, which explains the presence of the vacuum-operated doors over the headlights. They open and close with a switch but also permit limited lighting to pass through the closed doors.

Any 1969 Camaro with the SS package is highly collectible. Add the RS option and the car further increases in desirability. Add the pace car package to the mix and the car becomes even more interesting. This is a 350-cid, 300-hp V-8 engine version that is connected to a four-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter. The Dover White with Hugger Orange beauty was restored with new paint and upholstery in 2002 and still is well-presented. The engine compartment is detailed and the Camaro has been driven only occasionally and has never been shown. Other desirable features include bucket seats, center console, radio, dual mirrors; power brakes and steering.
