1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2/Cutlass Indianapolis 500 Pace Car #112

1970 442 Pace Car #112 of 159 true original track cars built

VIN# 342670M299059

On May 30, 1970 Terry White Sr. who owned an Oldsmobile Dealership in Indianapolis bought this car from the Oldsmobile Corporate while at the track. He purchased this car for his wife’s (Evelyn) birthday. He sold the dealership in August 1970 and moved to Naples Florida to retire. The car was driven very little until their deaths. The car was passed on to his son (07/28/1988) Terry G. White who resided in Sarasota Florida. Terry Parked the car in his garage with plans to restore it. The car sat in his garage until I received a phone call from a friend telling me he knew where there was a documented (one family owned) 1970 olds pace car that was going to be for sale. Having owned many 1968 Oldsmobile’s I jumped at the chance of buying it. Before purchasing it I contacted the GM Heritage Center and spoke to Jim Vehko who documented that this car was indeed a true 1970 original Indianapolis Track Pace Car. This car is #112 of the original 159 built for official track/parade duty in 1970. Jim was kind enough document this information in an official letter dated 08-14-2013 as seen in the photos. After receiving the certified letter from the GM Heritage Center I negotiated buying the car. I purchased the car on August 20, 1970. After purchasing the car I was given a box full of original documentation/items that I couldn’t believe. Please see the list of original items that will go with the car. I ended up purchasing two of the original items that he didn’t have in the box (Original Tickets). This is pretty much the mother load of original documented items.

Now to the car! I got the car home and immediately dropped the gas tank. I did a complete service to the car and got it started. It runs very strong. Believe it or not most everything on the car worked except the A/C. I actually drove the car around the blocks a few times for fun. Car has 53629 original miles. Motor transmission and rear-end are numbers matching.  I parked the car in my garage until the day I could give it what it deserves, a true rotisserie restoration. Unfortunately Life doesn’t always go as planned and I must sell this rare care. The car has the usual rust areas, not to bad but in need of a restoration. The interior is actually in remarkable condition. It could be saved for sure. Everything is on the car or in the trunk. I have amassed a trunk full of original extra parts that will also go along with the car. I also found an original ram air hood in mint condition that will go with the car. Please see all pictures of the car. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Please feel free to email me to set up a time to inspect the car. I am sure I am leaving out something about this rare car. So please don’t hesitate to ask? Good Luck!!
