It was for a car show in INDY. I have one of the plates :)but mine was a legal one to use in Indiana..

The Z7D Brickyard 400 SS Camaros all had a plate just like that with the car # on it and one with the race logo with the car # on it. Howard had several plates made up for the event and many were used on all of the support vehicles and some were just extras. Here is the plates from a rare 6 speed Brickyard 400 SS Camaro that B.J. from the Camaro Legends Tour owns. Al, when Howard was at my house last year for the EMCC Christmas Party, he had several of the extra plates for sale. He may still have some left over.I have not heard from him so I do not know if he is going to Camaro Superfest in a couple of weeks. Here is what my plates look like. And here is 2000 Brickyard 400 SS #9 plate.

I knew you would know! :-) -------------------- Travis 2002 35th Anniversary SS #1757 Click here to see my 35th LE SS!

The last time I talked to Howard about buying a plate from him he wanted between 500 to 1000 for one. I would love to have the Z7D plate he has Posts: 339 | From: Wallops Island, VA | Registered: Sep 2002  |  IP: Logged
