El Camino pace car

Dom a écrit:Une belle découverte

"In 1986, Chevrolet was the official truck of the Indianapolis 500 and a specially developed El Camino SS was one of the featured vehicles that performed on-track services before and throughout the race. This one-only El Camino SS featured an aluminum 350 CID Chevy engine and functioning strobe headlights and tail lights, plus a roll bar mounted strobe light system. A special El Camino SS was the only truck to ever pace an IROC race. This IROC-S also featured the trademark aerodynamic frontend design, IROC-S urethane paint in custom candy colors, and 16" aluminum wheels. Approximately fifteen IROC-S were built between '85 and '86." At least one of the NECOA members owns one of these Choo Choo Customs, Inc., IROC-S El Caminos.

Intéressant ce post, on sait que les versions affûtées d'Elky avaient les performances des Chevelle/Malibu équivalentes mais on attend peu ce genre de vivacité d'un "utilitaire"... Quoique !
