1988 Indianapolis 500 Cutlass Supreme PACE CAR Tribute!

Where did you pick up the UB3 adapter?

 

 

Yup it sure can. I've done it.

 

I went a step further and made an adapter for mine.

 

There is a rough look at what I did.

 

There is some useful info in my thread.

I haven't got an adaptor yet, you gonna hook a brotha up or what? Seriously, I need one to put the digital dash in while I got it all toe up yo! Actually, I also need to figure out how to hook the DIS up too while it's all apart. I'd pay to have an adaptor made so I could just plug N play!

 

I've worked with all kinds of connectors all my life, I'd re-pin this set-up but I've given away almost all of my insertion & extraction tools. I'd have to tear apart storage just to find the ones I have left. ANY help on this swap would be much appreciated!

[1994RedVert]

I am with 1988PhantomFE3. I am also willing to pay for an adapter already made. Just don't have the time to do it myself.

[1988PhantomFE3]

Believe it or not, this is actually NOT a 1988 Indy 500 Pace Car replica.

I want that front bumper!!

Kyle, you got pics of your rig? Post them please

[1988PhantomFE3]

I reworked the ashtray (Thanks Jeff) with the pace car emblem.

Gorgeous.

Found recently in a Grand Rapids salvage yard.

 

[1988PhantomFE3]

WOW! That's the only one I've ever seen! I know it's not the Sportside, but I'd take it anyday!

[ManicMechanic]

Yeah, it appears to be a red 4x4 long bed track truck...Shame as it's a piece of history.

 

I'd be very wiling to bet that it is one of the trucks in this video starting at 4:45.

What ever happened to RDW0483 from here who finally ended up with the Knobloch replica vert? Remember, the car with about 800 miles on the OD, sold at Barret Jackson to a guy in Texas then he got it. I've tried to PM him, but no luck there. Anyone know?

[ManicMechanic]

Won this...Waiting for it.

 

 

Press kit with pics supposedly.

 

 

Found these.

You're really making me want to get a HAULER!!!

[1988PhantomFE3]

Here's a pic of the latest addition to the Family, these 2 really love eachother! I might let them spend the night in the Garage if they behave!

[ManicMechanic]

I like that style of Eldo!

[1988PhantomFE3]

Jay,

I'm ordering new pace car decals for the doors of the pace car thru Graphic Concepts. I'm so close to getting this babe painted, but I'm holding off untill the interior is done.

 

Be well my friend

I don't have an extra $2.50 right now, much less $250 for this...
