In 1969, Chevrolet built 3675 copies of the Camaro convertible that paced that year’s Indianapolis 500. Sold with the RS\/SS appearance and performance packages, the \u201969 replicas were all decorated in white paint with Hugger Orange stripes and orange houndstooth interiors. Now, fast forward 41 years and Chevy is doing something very similar\u2014but slightly different\u2014with its new 2010 Camaro.<\/p>\n

Limited to just 200 units, the 2010 Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Edition will be offered only as a coupe\u2014likely since the convertible isn’t yet available\u2014wearing Inferno Orange with White Pearl stripes, the reverse of the original paint scheme. Starting with a 2SS model and its 400-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 and adding the RS appearance package, all replicas will come equipped with the six-speed automatic; 20-inch wheels; a special grille, engine cover, and floor mats; and Indy 500\u2013embroidered headrests and badges.<\/p>\n

The Indy 500 Edition will be priced at $41,950, about a three-grand premium over a similarly equipped RS\/SS car. Then again, there are only 200 being made and exclusivity (and speculation) has its price.\ufeff We expect to see at least one at next year’s Barrett-Jackson auctions.<\/p>\n
