The 74 Olds Pace car Question

by Pontichev327 Tue May 07, 2013 9:14 pm

I see that the roof was removed and a targa style roll bar installed on the 1974 Olds Pace car. My question is, did they make more than one, like for a back-up? If so where are they? All the Pace cars I have seen have T-tops or hardtop. Also,did Demmer Engineering put in bracing? if so, where, how and what?

I posted that pic in the gallery- I know of only the one with this special treatment. It was to show off Ms. Vaughn in all her glory. There were a few others built but not like that one.

G3 Years @ Indy- 3 out of 5 isn't bad

73 Cadillac Eldorado
74 Hurst Olds
75 Buick Century Free Spirit
76 Buick Century Free Spirit "Regal" Style
77 Olds Delta 88 Coupe

Here are some more cool pics (1974)- there was a four door version built also (1) & check out the pit lane in this pic for some Elco's. Pretty cool- wonder what happened to those? The 74 Olds Pace car Question Paceca11

My Bad- investigating this further reveals there are two of the Targa style cars (documented). Info is on the above link.

Would have been cool anyway...

Yeah it's great...Love the Sedan leading the charge. They look like they're in a half mile long caravan.

Found this too...."C 3500" GMC (which would prob mean those Elco's are Sprints)
I guess if you're Olds, you don't want no stinkin' Chevy's on your big day...LOL
