    Default Possible pace car in junkyard

    Here's one I found in a junkyard here in Iowa. This one is beyond repair, due to rust. It has a areo interior in it and has had a repaint. Here is the door tag to confirm if it is a pace car or not.

    The "UA" interior trim color code is for the Recaro seating. (Pace Car-only in '79.)

    The non-Recaro Black cloth/vinyl seats are code "BA" (high-back) or "DA" (low-back).
