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 decklid 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, Firestone Wide Oval tires, cowl induction hood, Rally Sport, Super Sport, and custom orange Houndstooth cloth interior.

Every pace car is an SS, and this pace car is also fitted with the RS features, which is easily identifiable by 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 attention-grabbing. This is a 396-cid, 325-hp V-8 engine version that is teamed with an automatic transmission and the 12-bolt rear end with 3.07:1 gearing and Posi-traction. The Dover White with Hugger Orange beauty is presented in a very nice manner; other desirable features include the houndstooth interior, bucket seats, center console with factory gauge package, radio; power top, brakes and steering. The Camaro is one of approximately 400 from the factory with the 396-cid "big-block" V-8 engine, and it was restored to completion in June 2012. It is also documented with its Protect-O-Plate and previous owner history.
