1996 pace car decals! NOT 92!!

Chuck, read the box, there are for 1992. However, the Viper was actually a pace car for the 1991 race. In 1992 they used a Cadillac Allante.


"The first prototype was tested in December 1989. It first debuted in 1991 with three pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 when Dodge was forced to substitute it in place of the Stealth, and went on sale in January 1992 as the soft roofed RT/10 Roadster."

A historical error on Dodge's part then, people must have mistaken the actual production year with the year it paced the Indy 500, although I seem to remember a decal version with the correct year 1991 too.

Now I see but no Viper pace car in 92! They may be worth something because of a misprint?

The 92 pace car decal set are very real. Much like the 96 set, you just don't see them any more.

I can't figure out why Dodge hasn't pushed the Viper to be the pace car more often. This would be a great year for it since it will now have 600 H.P.
A corvette 5 out of the last 6 years??????, c'mon already!!!!

That ratio seems about right for Corvettes.

Sold for $621.00 I am surprised they didn't go for more as rare as they are.

I would think at that value. Folks would be reproducing these by now.
