This 1979 Ford Mustang Indy Pace Car Edition is one of only 2,106 pace cars produced for the model year powered by an upgraded 302ci V8 engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. As the first year of the Fox Body Mustang, this '79 was made famous with the "official pace car" Pewter paint scheme and "Indy 500" graphics package. All Indy Pace Car Mustangs featured the TRX Performance Package, which improved the stock suspension with the addition of front and rear sway bars and shock valves. The interior has Recaro seats and looks like the day it rolled out of the Ford factory.
It also features a factory sunroof, front spoiler with Marchal fog lights and cowl-induction hood-style, and even the original tires still mounted to the car. This Mustang was purchased by the original owner in the summer of '79, and apart from a couple of small trips in town, it was rolled into a climate-controlled garage upon delivery and stored safely for 45 years, until it was purchased in July 2024 by builder/collector Maxlider Brothers Customs with only 9 miles on the odometer and the original factory Window Sticker and registration tags still in place.
The car also includes extensive original documentation including, the retail order sheet, dealer invoice, original title, warranty identification card and plate, receipt of original payment to dealer, odometer disclosure statement, and Illinois state tax document.
