    Default Photos of one of the three "real" pace cars

    Attached are some of the photos I took of the 79 Pace Car that the museum had sitting on the floor this past weekend at the Mustang Clubs show.

    There are quite a few differences between this car and the ones produced by Ford.

    This is only a couple of the over 30 photos I took.
    If you are interested in the other photos PM me with an email address.

    I know several of the other guys took photos also......

    The rear spoiler looks to be taller than production replicas. Great pics.

    The spoiler is molded into the hatch. It's not a separate piece as on the reproduction cars.

    I think what you meant to say was the spoiler is molded as one piece. It is actually bolted on to the hatch. Here is a picture of the IMS Pace Car showing the rear spoiler.Name:  IMG_1749.jpg
