There was 45 original numbered Brickyard 400 35th Anniversary LE Camaro SS' built and 2 that were not numbered which were VIN #1 and VIN #2.Brickyard 400 #37 was totalled out while still in Indy,not too long after the Brickyard 400 event.All were convertibles except for VIN #2.It was a T-Top and the only one to be a 6 speed.It was built with a stock GM exhaust but later on the exhaust got damaged during transport and a SLP CME exhaust was added.VIN #1 and VIN #2 were the cars used in most of the GM advertising.They also paced the Parade Laps at the Brickyard 400 and were strobe light equipped.The Fbodfather is taking ownership of VIN #2.

Here is VIN #1 (No Brickyard 400 #)

I have pictures of that Brickyard 400 #5 from last years Tom Henry Camaro Mania Show. I think they are in my webshots or netsnapshot account.I actually tried to buy that car before I purchased mine and was told the dealer owner was going to keep it for his collection.

Those rear side markers are actually a strobe light with a different lens and housing.I don't know who made those but would like to find a set.There are 2 small screws that hold the lens to the housing.

Hey thanks for all that info and pics! You guys go well above and beyond the call of duty here. They sure made a helluva lotta 35th SS's! But compared to all the 30th's its close to the same. Thats if you count Z28's and SS's. Where were these pics Taken? I remember a fellow who had a rare 30th Brickyard SS car with T-roofs. There was only like 1 of those made as well. I forget his name but he was from MI. and would come to the Ontario shows we had. Nice guy he was and hope he is still around and meet him again next year. I guess thats where I started to fall in love with this car I have now. I'm glad it is a little rarer then the 35th's....Sorry guys. Hey did you see all the Johnny Lightning cars in them pics? I got a pile of them too !

That guy from Michigan with the 30th Anniversary Brickyard 400 added those decals.That car is a clone Brickyard 400 and its build date is after the Brickyard 400 event.He always shows it in the Pace Car Classes at the different shows.He used someones VIN and car # to buy the decals.That 30th is very nice for a trailer queen and has very low miles.There are only 2 of the real 30th Anniversary Z28 Brickyard 400 coupes and both are equipped with strobe lights.GM has one and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum has the other.All of the Brickyarde 400 Festival/Parade cars were convertibles.

Here is the clone Brickyard 400



Here is one of the real Pace Cars and the one that actually paced the race.
