ManicMechanic Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah, I know. I see them too. I'll take a Wideside if I have to because I can always change out the bed. Lots of people out there will trade their Sportside bed for a Wideside bed. And no, the Crew ticket winner wasn't me. I haven't looked on there for Indy stuff for awhile. Just been buying stuff for work. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted July 10, 2013 Report Posted July 10, 2013 Hey Ed, did you win that Pace Car decal set on ebay for $21? Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 YEAH! I got em. I'm going to use them for a Poster banner for the pace car. What's the Paint Code for the lower Silver/Grey on the1988 Indy 500 Pace car/ GMC Hauler? Need to tell the shop, so they can start painting some of the pieces. Thank man! Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Posted July 22, 2013 Thank YOU Jay! I have to take the rear ground effects piece to the Sign Shop. They are going to duplicate the "Cutlass Supreme SX" decal to exact size. You can still see where the original decal was, but the decal is long gone. Need the Decal exact to size, before they paint it over. I'll post so pics when I get a chance. Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Posted July 28, 2013 Found this Online for sale. If I remeber right, asking around 13,000. Piece of History here. NICE ! Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Posted August 1, 2013 Contacted the Dealership to have them CHECK the VIN # 1G3WR14W2JD314795, for Car 154 used at the 1988 Indy 500 - assigned "Public Relations"... It must have matched because the AD was pulled right afterwords. Original ad stated, "believed to be a track car"... Guess now they know for sure! Quote
j_mezz Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) $13,000? Are they really worth that? Mine is gonna be nicer! Maybe it will be worth what I've got in it after all? lol Must be an optical illusion but it looks like the decals are crooked. Edited August 1, 2013 by j_mezz Quote
94 olds vert Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Why would they pull the AD? Probably a dumb question, but all questions need answering. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 Must be an optical illusion but it looks like the decals are crooked. I noticed that too. Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Posted August 2, 2013 http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/oldsmobile/cutlass_supreme/1585152.html She;s listed at Hemmings for $14,900.00 too. I emailed both places telling them I could sent them Documentation if needed...No reply. J_MEZZ, can you post a few pics of yours please? I'd love to see her! Quote
j_mezz Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 I guess I could do that...It's back from paint, still reassembling. I'll do a before and after write up when it's done but here's a before and present... I'm working on the new carpet install now... Quote
rich_e777 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 Hey what's in that bag just behind the center console? Quote
j_mezz Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 Carpet installation medicine! No, sorry to disappoint, it's just spare screws from my parts car. Ya did give me a good scare though! Quote
rich_e777 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 First thing that caught my eye in that pic:lol: Also you need a driver`s side front corner lenses for that? Heading to the yard in a few hours and they look just like the ones on the older sedans. Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 That's a Beautiful Pace car! It IS going to be better than the one for sale. They have new side markers on ebay, I got both sides for ours. I probable have 3 sets of used ones, just didn't look good enough for me... Thanks for posting some pics, I can't wait till your "Before & After" is up!:thumbsup: Quote
j_mezz Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 I'm with you phantom, I have a couple of good used ones but I'm picky too so I picked up a set of those new side markers from ebay a few months ago. That same guy hunted down new grills, headlights, and parking lights for me too so it really should look great! Can't wait to put it all back together! I've been holding off on putting that stuff in because the cross beam that sits over the radiator didn't get painted with the rest of the car (dopey body shop guy). So it's going back to a local body shop to get that painted (and the decals put on) as soon as I finish the carpet, then I'll finish it off with the nose stuff. Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Posted August 10, 2013 J Mezz, Don't stop doing what you're doing, and post some pics please! I've heard from alot of the 1988 Indy 500 Pace Car Replica Owners, this is where they come for info. And they all say they spend several hours on this site! So if they need any info/updates, they come here! Thanks BUD! Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 Ed! http://youngstown.craigslist.org/cto/4089356601.html And look what I own right now... Quote
White93z34 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 That truck is like 1.5-2 hours from me. what made them special aside of the decals? looks like a pretty regular 1500 short of the decals. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 That truck is like 1.5-2 hours from me. what made them special aside of the decals? looks like a pretty regular 1500 short of the decals. That's pretty much it. Just special to me because I was at the race and loved the pace cars and trucks. Quote
1988PhantomFE3 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Posted October 4, 2013 JAY, I'm super jealous again! Post more pics! If you get back on track with this, you need to let me know what you need from me man... Quote
