I'm here ...

I have the bastardized pace car ... not sure of what race or much about the car other than it has the strobes and two purple checkers under the spoiler.

Ok, I contacted a graphics place listed on the PHS.website. But they will not do Graphics from a pic.. I guess they need to have a car there so they can transfer the measures off of. I'm trying to recruit George T. In here. Maybe we can have him drop the car off for a few days to get the measures transfered.. lol

No.. They were not sold to the public.. I've been watching ebay forever.. There was only a few made for the 97-03 GP's for NASCAR and for a couple of Police Dept's that used GP police cars in the late 90's to the early 2000's... The only models of the Fasttrack System I know of for sale to the general public thru equipment stores are for Ford CV Police Interceptors and possibly the Impala 94C package. This is Whelen's website : www.whelen.com

They won't do anything, other people have contacted Whelen about getting replacement parts and they get turned down.

Ryan is correct.... Alot of folks have tried to deal with them... Always the same.. Not sold to the public & they are no longer in production.....

Flip if you make those .. Maybe you can emboss G P O N A on them instead of WHELEN... LOL...

Ryan,

Something is not adding up about your G.S Pace Car.... You have the Daytona Hood heat extractors.. And I assume the car is a 2000 Daytona? If so, Why does it have a regular GTP Spoiler instead of the Daytona Spoiler? .. Do you have 2 sets of holes drilled at the top end of the trunk lid? ... The other non-Daytona pace cars for 2000-2001 were white or Med. Gulf Met Blue. Not SILVER. There was a Dark Cherry Met. Pace car for 2003. (Only one I think)

I have #690. So far I have just a VS cam put in, no pulley or exhaust work yet. I have retrofitted bixenon projectors in, clear corners, and tinted taillights for exterior mods. I haven't taken any new pics for a while and these are from when I got her. The other MGBM is biggie, and his is a Daytona too but the guy that had it before him took all of the Daytona graphics off.
