Now that would be an interesting number to have.  I've seen a lot of VIN's but never that one.

That's pretty neat, Mark. Tracking down the actual Pace cars used at Indy.

Superb work Mark. Very interesting, finding #4 at Barrett Jackson. I would have liked to heard the story coming from the auction block. I wonder how much information they had. Should the car be worth more than 29K, given it's pedigree?
