Mark, can you go back and find the auction for that 006 car? You can search completed auctions, but I don't know how long ago it was. Maybe you could find the user name of the winning bidder and try to track it down that way...?
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Very cool Mark!! 
Thanks for keeping us posted.
By the way, I want an autographed copy of the book you write (or should write!) about the history of the PC, and of your search in locating the cars and clearing up the mystery of what happened to them.

I wish I had saved it like I did with the auction for the 6502 (Last Pace Car) Pace Car auction.

Thanks Bryan and everyone else for the compliments. I'm spending a lot of time and money (mostly time) on this search. I guess I will have to write a book to re-coop some of the cost 
And anyone who wants a signed copy will get one
And anyone who wants a signed copy will get one EDIT: I went back to look at the Last Pace Car auction and it says it was removed. I just had looked at it a few days ago, but I guess they only stay around for so long then their gone for ever.

I am proud owner of #3205, and am interested in how many PC still exist?
Found some PC sites:
Any ideas?
Check it out, Pace Car #0007 is available on eBay. It's too bad they did what they did to it, I wounder if the owner still has the original parts. Probably not seeing it's a used car lot

Welcome to the C3VR Graham For some info on the Pace Cars look up at the tool bar and select tool, go down to C3 Statistics, and then select 1978. Theres really no way to tell how many are still around, no one knows how many were dismantled, wrecked, or who know whatever else. I've even seen burned up ones on eBay for sale

Check out this plate on eBay Plate #1

Now heres the plate on the back of Pace Car #1
Interesting huh? I talked to the owner of this plate and he says he bought a collection of plates from a guy who worked for the IN DMV. He stated that special plate usually had extras made to be given away as gifts to VIP's.
