Not a trick question, but surely it is controversial, specially when some seller makes
the claim that he is selling one such car.
Between the "parade" cars and the "Pace cars" we got two different questions.
Officially, we know TWO PACE cars were submitted to the Indy mgt, but lots of rumors about a 3rd car
that has yes to be identified beyond doubt .. something that gets more difficult with each passing year.
One is at the Cadillac Museum the other owned privately.
The "parade" cars, your guess is as good as mine.
Only the PACE cars were fully equipped to run the INDY track. The two I know about, were at
the track on race day. Why two? They were not allowed to refuel. Second car was not needed,
so only one of the two actually run abreast the Indy cars, only one of the two.
These two had the Indy light bars, safety equip, 5 point seat belts, center console controls,
and custom ECM Chips.
Earlier, in '06, a car fitting these PACE car descriptions was parted and crushed by a salvage yard that
does GM subcontracting to destroy vehicles. Again, we dont know if that was the 3rd Pace car or
another candidate built for the race.

we cant find a VIN record of which cars were used.
If you can shed some light on the VIN records, I can sure shed some light
on the survivors.

Not long ago I noticed a white '93 on sleezBay that was advertised as a "Parade Car" - I don't think it sold, so it probably will be back - we will have to see if it is one of the ones slowroll is speaking of... Can they be different colors than the "Pearl Red" of the Pace Car?
