I know this is an old thread but I found a few photos that were taken at the event on the Remembering Mosport Facebook page.  They were posted by Greg Wong back on January 15, 2015.

Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Trans Am racing pace car pics...are there any?

A green 1972 Porsche 911 Targa was used as the pace car for the Ron & Eve White Memorial Sedan Race for Trans Am type cars held on August 13, 1972 at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. 

In a post about this "non-championship Trans-Am race," Jon Mello stated, "8/13/72, which had been the date of a scheduled Mosport T/A race until it was canceled along with the rest of the series that year (due to George Follmer dominating the '72 Trans-Am series in his Roy Woods Javelin). The race was run instead as a memorial to a well-known Ontario (Canada) couple who had been very involved with motorsports until they died in a plane crash in 1971. Many of the regular competitors showed for the race, and to my understanding, Warren Tope won."  http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=9191.0

Here's the NYT article.

Lots of ads, there was a real push, but I've never seen any documentation that it was backed up by an actual sale. Unlike the 67 PaceSetter sale where Chevrolet reduced prices on some options. http://www.camaros.org/geninfo.shtml#pacesetter

Thanks Kurt for posting the larger version of this article.  Quite interesting.  I've never seen these tv spots.

The owner of the Camaro was able to get these pictures from the race museum in Watkins Glen.Thanks Mitchell

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for posting those great color photos!  What a cool find from the museum.  I love the picture that was taken above the car from the flag stand.  I would bet they were both taken at the same time prior to the start of the pace lap.  You can see the shadow from the flagstand on the racetrack directly behind the Z28 in all 3 pictures.  Since the car in these pictures does have the front bumper guards it sure looks like it could be the car that was in front of the Trans Am cars in the pictures I posted.
