Confession: I've been pretty much a Pontiac only guy for the last 25 years.... but, I've loved the look of the 79 Pace car since I first saw one in 1978. Found one parked out in the boonies here in Texas last weekend, owner wants $800... but, after restoring a few oddball Pontiacs I figured I'd ask the big question:

How rare are resto parts for a pace car? Figure 80% is standard mustang stuff, it's the interior cloth and front spoiler/fog lights/etc that is missing that might present the biggest challenge....

thoughts?

The best guys to ask are those over at the foureyedpride website. They deal strictly with the early Fox Mustangs including Pace Cars.

darn early foxes are considered classics now.

a bit OT, but I wonder if we will eventually move from being "classics" to changing the nomenclature. Since the earliest classic is 38 years old.
