Okay Part 2 is done, below is the link.  I personally think Bruce did an awesome job writing this article.  Bruce actually owns a 1978 Pace Car and was a member on here at one time but he made the mistake of letting his membership expire Confused

Way to go Mark.  I know how hard you worked to gather all of that info.  I still look forward to seeing your book on the subject in the future!

Book!   Sounds like a great idea.   We might be able to get Mark to do a book signing.  Always great to see a pace car article.  Thanks Mark.

Excellent research, Mark.  Very good article. The writer sure does know his Vette history.
So, what's next? Track down the other 6,502 production run cars?LOL
