(again....no engine pic.....WTF??)

Lance Tarnutzer inherited his high standards in collector cars from his father, Dick. He also inherited a lot of cars.

Dick was a well-known collector and enthusiast who, at one time, had a collection of about 250 fabulous cars, many of them convertibles. Most of the cars were displayed in the family’s automotive shrine, Dells Automobile Museum in Wisconsin Dells, Wis. Sadly, a warehouse fire back in 1999 gutted the collection and claimed many of the best machines in the bunch, but a number of special cars survived.

One of those was a fabulous 1967 Camaro Indy Pace Car that Lance says was actually for sale at one time. He managed to convince his dad that the car needed to stay, and he hasn’t regretted pleading his case for one minute.

Minus the pace car crap on the door. I know. It came that way, but it ruins an otherwise cool car.

Well, that blue interior does hurt the eyes. One of my old ambulances came with that blue interior. We called it the "Smurf Mobile".

that could also be the angle the photo was taken, and maybe even a white balance setting. if you've noticed some of my photo's in the MWGL Photo thread, the backgrounds are kinda blueish....that's on purpose. :idea:

I like the blue interior!

I'd also rather have a regular paint job though. But from a collector POV, that pace car heritage is worth something I suppose.
