All Camaro->ke248 lovers as well as Indianapolis 500 entusiasts, listen up! Chevrolet has decided to build and sell a 2010 Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Replica Limited Edition. This limited edition replica will have all of the features found on the regular production Camaro SS with an RS appearance package as well as some special features from the pace car that will be driven by Robin Roberts during this year’s Indianapolis 500.

“We set out to build a collectible vehicle that will appeal to the die-hard Camaro and Indianapolis 500 fan,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice President, Chevrolet Marketing. “We believe we’ve done just that with the 2010 Chevy Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Limited Edition.”

Only 200 replicas will be made and sold for an MSRP of $$41,950 in about 187 selected dealers. This figure is surprisingly low in comparison to the number of replicas produced in 1969 (3,675), 1982 (6,000), and 1993 (633).

Chevy’s->ke199 decision to produce a replica for the 2010 Camaro Pace car comes as a shock to us considering only a year ago they stated they would not be producing it claiming they needed to keep limited edition replicas “special”. Instead, they had decided to produce a Bumblebee Camaro replica. We are indeed happy to hear they will be producing it even though it will be limited to only 200 cars.
