Official Pace Car of 1968 Indianapolis 500

1968 Ford Torino GT Convertible.    

 

This is a beautifully restored 1968 Indy 500 pace car.   Of the 159 cars built for Duties in the 500. This is a 1 of 12 car to have the 390 engine. The only car to come with a factory 6000 rpm tachometer. and 1 of 5 with blue interior. Car has a DSO code which indicates it was a "special" build and ship. Built in Lorraine Ohio and shipped to Indianapolis.


  After purchasing car from 2nd owner. I had the car rotisserie restored then repainted in the original Wimbledon white. then meticulously reassembled using as many Original parts as possible. This car was a major restoration. nothing was over looked and no expense spared !!! Including NOS head rest that were specific for the indy pace car Torino. A amazing find and they are on the car.


Some modifications have been done. Rebuilding the 390 adding a period correct  3-2 intake manifold. The motor rebuild was done the correct way. Strong enough to race down the track and be pushed back in your seat. and reliable enough drive every day. Gear reduction starter. span >  and converted to a 4 speed with NOS parts. Painless wiring harness and Front coil over struts with 2 piston front disc calipersadded during the restoration.   Just over 1000 miles since total restoration.


Complete Marti-report included in sale. nbsp; also a follow up letter from Kevin Marti stating the car was purpose built for the 500 and not one of the Replica cars built by the dealers after the running of the 1968 Indy 500 (see Photos).   This car is truly a beautiful piece of Indianapolis 500 history.   Amazing to drive and always a head turner.  


Have original Intake and Air cleaner as well as a few other bits that go with sale of car.
