I'm lazy, a cut&paste from another forum:
My uncles used to own a Chevrolet Dealership in downtown Indy (Johnson Chevrolet). My Dad made pretty good coin at a local pharmaceutical company and Uncle Dave used to bring cool cars to our house now and then, I think hoping Dad would have a mid-life crisis or something, (He never did BTW). Uncle Dave was involved with the pace car program in '67 and one day he showed up in one of the pace cars, flags and all. My Dad took me for a ride around the neighborhood in it. Now the Corvettes and so forth that he brought by were cool and all, but that Camaro pace car blew me away and I knew right then someday I'd have to own a '67 Camaro even at the tender age of seven. Many years later after Dad passed away I answered an ad out of California and discovered that the car in question was located about 7 or 8 miles up the road I live on. Took it as a sign and bought the car (see avatar)!
Uncle Dave is second from the right, between Tony Hulman and the guy in the red jacket.
