Wounder what this car would be worth today?

[Star Driver]

Not as much as a stock, original pace car like I sold in '98. The car might be worth more if the engine and induction was done by Roush.

Great article find! It might be worth a buck or two...

I've heard/read that Jack actually "built" 5 1979 pace cars for duty on the track at INDY...one, I understand is in the INDY museum...the others are around..."somewhere"...supposedly these cars were "tweeked" by Roush to handle the rigors of track speed over the course of a long race day and were not available for the public to purchase.

They had 351 W heads that were modifed, different cam and a few other goodies. I was almost thinking when I had mine of sending it to Roush and having them build a duplicate motor for the car I had.
