Default Original Pace Car goes no sale at MECUM.

Is it just me or does the fact that a 64 1/2 Pace Car brings less than a Hemi car bother anyone? The Pace Car was built on the first day of Mustang Production, got all hopped up by Holman-Moody, and has good documentation. We all know that Hemi's are cool, but not the historical significance in my opinion.

Maybe I am just hoping to get $300k for mine?

Hello. No, this doesn't seem odd at all. A convertible Hemi E body, for example, is almost as rare, just as pretty and soooooo much more fun to drive.

Default There are several problems with this one....

This particular auction is not a good measuring stick for Mustangs.

There were several problems - while the car is probably not a fake, the guy selling it has been associated with fakes in the past.
Also, Holman-Moody never worked on the car - this was documented some time ago.

I think most people were just afraid of this one...................

Hi again. I always did think that the Superbird was about the coolest looking car ever. I like those GTXs also. I like the 69s better because of the stripes and that really pretty hood, but that 70 air grabber was the coolest. SHAAAARK!!!
