Here are several recent photographs taken of a 1968 Camaro RS convertible that was used as the pace car at Silver Springs Speedway at some point in time. This was a 3/8 mile, semi banked clay oval racing venue that operated between 1953 and 2005 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. I'm not sure exactly when the Camaro was used as the pace car because I could not find a single period image of it at the track but it looks like it was modified into it's current condition sometime back in the late 1970's or early 1980's. It must have been prior to the late 1980's because I have seen images of a 1987 Trans Am and a 1988 Grand Prix pacing events in the late 1980's.
Notice the newer mirrors, front spoiler and wheel well spats that mimic a late 2nd generation Z28 or any 2nd generation Trans Am. The Rally Wheels might have been added at this time as well. It is powered by a 327 V-8 and it has a manual transmission with a Hurst T-Handle. Notice the wording on the side that states, "Body Paint Work by Wittle and Webb."
If anyone has any further information on when it was actually used or any additional photographs, please share.
I found the pictures on the Silver Spring Speedway Facebook page:
