Happy birthday to your car Mark.

It's a sad reflection when our "younger mistresses" are our cars!!

Mark,

Go find that retiree before he dies.

He might have a picture of when it was delivered or sold.

They must have had quite a party with the extra nine grand cash. LOL

[QUOTE=cilrah]Or should I say something Big%20smile

Yup, it's the Pacer's Birthday today Clap

Built on April 24, 1978 she sold at Ron Tonkin Chevrolet in Portland, OR on April 18, 1978. I don't have the original window sticker but the sticker price should have been around $13650.00 The first owner bought it for $22500, $9000 over the sticker.

[/QUOTE]

I'm confused about those dates, built on 4/24 but sold on 4/18? Am I not reading it right?

In any case Congrats, you have a special car there. Dave W. and I stopped at the Indy speedway on the way home and they had one there.

Dave

Happy Birthday to your Pace car, Mark. My SA's is coming up in July, 4 days after my sons 30th birthday. He don't know it yet but he's sharing the big 3-0 with the old mans mistress. LOL

I thought the same thing Dave but Joel was telling me (which make sense) that a lot of people were plopping money down on these Pacers well in advance of their arrival at the dealership which ment they were actually sold before even being completed Big%20smile

I might be planning a trip to Indy to see the Pace Car at the museum. Actually might be on May 25th Wink

If the paperwork was completed, and the money exchanged, the vehicle was considered "Sold", thus the Sold date being before the actual build date. The '78 Pacers had many folks paying WAAAAY too much money, to be able to guarantee they got one.

It wouldn't surprise me to find the ALL of the Pacers were sold like this...or at least a large percentage of them....some people...geeez!

I mean...it's JUST a car....
