Wan't to share a photo of my low milage (8900) 1979 Indianapolis Pace Car taken during the recent Mustangs across America run for the 45th Anniversary celebrations.
Other photo is of a Big Rigs wheel taken at about 80mph in Louisiana.
Drove the car from LA to Birmingham and back, 6400 miles all up with out a problem and still on the thirty year old tires. What a Blast.
Car is now on its way to Australia together with a Canadian delivered 1979 Pace Car. trying to put some Foxs in the Australian hen house.
^^^ Wow! And that 2nd pic is pretty cool....

Hi guys, well mine is getting there slowly.
I was hoping to get it back on the road for its 30th birthday on the 27th of this month, but with the deadline looming fast there are still a 1001 things to do!
At least it's back on the wheels again after a minor undercarriage clean up/paint, here's a couple of pics;

Wow! That Pace Car is in great condition. I am super jealous and I hope my pos Pace Car will look half as good as that someday. Your Recaros look like they are brand new. Thanks for posting and feel free to keep pics of that car coming. How many miles does she have?
Cheers!

Sorry fox, my car doesn't have either. I gave you my options though right? If not the car has tilt, PL, and a rear wiper. Let me know if you need anything else. Btw, mine was also converted to a 1991 GT engine and trans (5 speed) it has a true dual exhaust, 8.8 inch rear end and 3.73 rear gear ratio. Everything else that goes along with an engine swap like this has also been changed (gas tank, etc). I'm pretty sure you already have this info, but just in case.
Have a good weekend!
Cheers!
