Crazy K Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 I believe the redish orange Camaro behind the TGP and the puke green car two in front were at the champ car auction! Quote
Euro Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 That highlighter yellow looking car is a Stealth right? What's the one in between that and the TGP? Awesome find Jay! Quote
Euro Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 I want a job where I research this type of thing every day. Dream job Quote
EMNCFI Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 Yep, its a gen 1 stealth, but in the pearl yellow that was on the gen 2 (94-96) same color as my 94 TT Quote

I just came across this site, too bad nothing about the TGP http://rumors.automobilemag.com/champ-car-sells-cart-goodies-134522.html#axzz2jsKs11vr Quote
Euro Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 In the half hour or so I've spent browsing image searches, makes me wonder why there are about 400 pictures EACH of every other PPG pace car ever built, but none of the TGP:mad: Quote

After seeing Jay's photo I did some forum and image searching with no luck. I even scanned through the Marlboro 500 race from 1991 on youtube. Best bet would be to find a forum discussing one of the other cars that it toured with. I know there are more pictures out there, it's just a matter of finding them or the right person seeing your post and uploading them. Quote
Euro Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 I wouldn't think there would be next to nothing, though! I thought the TGP was built in a time where Pontiac and the GP were actually an awesome car. I mean come on, they made multiple pace cars out of it I did some of the same searching, Ford/Pontiac/3000GT and Stealth forums, did searches of the 90/91/92 races to see if I could spot anything. Nada. Quote
mfewtrail Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 Not the pace car, but a very cool photo nonetheless. "Motor Trend International Auto Show at the Baltimore Convention Center, January 1990." I'm going to have to search Flickr a bit more. Seems like a lot of people have old indy car and other race photos, might just spot a TGP in them eventually. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted November 7, 2013 Report Posted November 7, 2013 I've posted that one before Matt. There are a few pics like that on Flickr. Quote

Euro Posted November 7, 2013 Report Posted November 7, 2013 I found that too but forgot to save it, thanks for posting it Matt! Quote
Turbo v-sick Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Posted December 16, 2013 Found these rims on a Bandit III 97 Formula concept car. Could they be the same style rims that are on the PPG car? Quote
Heartbeat1991 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 The wheel on the PPG car look more like TGP crosslaces to me. Quote
Euro Posted December 17, 2013 Report Posted December 17, 2013 Blowing up the picture of the TGP on the bottom of page 1, they look almost identical. I think the ones on the TGP have more of a lip, though. Quote

ManicMechanic Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 These were JUST posted on a facebook page I am on this morning. The other pics are of a styling exercise by ASC and an RPE. Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 The yellow one's wheels look weird not sure what's going on in the red/white pics and the RPE is hot, aside from the half pinstripe? these must be some kind of demo pics or something Quote
ManicMechanic Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 Straight from ASC archives when they closed as the post stated. Quote
White93z34 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 I never thought 3 spokes could look good on one of those, neat. Quote
BrianG Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 Awesome pics!! Love the body styling on the 94-96. Lil more agressive than factory. Quote

Turbo v-sick Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Posted December 19, 2013 Awesome find! Looks Grand Illusion(ish) with the early design interior door panels. Quote
