My 1979 Mustang Indy Pace Car. I actually had two of them. At the same time. I bought both of them in 1981. It came in 2 flavors. There was a 2.3 Turbo and a 5.0 V8. I really wanted a 5.0 but couldn’t find one, so I bought a 2.3T. Then a few months later a 5.0 popped up, so I bought that one too. Did I mention that I was working for GM at the time?

Anyway, I eventually sold the 2.3T to my brother and kept the 5.0 until I traded it in on a 1987 Corvette. No doubt it was the right thing to do, since the Corvette was an awesome vehicle, but I wouldn’t mind coming across another 5.0 Pace Car. The picture isn’t my specific car, but it is the exact same appearance. The 2.3 Turbo had the full graphics applied. The 5.0 had the stripes, hood lettering, and ponies on the fender, but the door lettering was still in the box. I preferred it that way.
