Hi-I am researching the various Indy 500 Pace Cars and creating a database of all examples. This is to be shard with the Indy Speedway Museum as they have very little info on any of the Pace Cars or Replicas. I currently have 982/1000 cars in the database, so just missing 18. I also have the SVT number for these cars. I am definitely missing the VINs of cars number 977-981 and 999. the early cars last six of the VIN was 144xxx. 760 of the cars last six of the VIN is 158xxx. 37 begin with 160xxx, 142 with 161xxx, 16 with 162xxx, 2 with 166xxx, 3 with 177xxx, 8 with 188xxx, 9 with 190xxx. I have searched all the VINs with these first three letters, so the missing 18 I believe begin with another set of numbers for the VIN. Does any9one have a 1994 Cobra pace car replica with the last six of the VIN different than the ones I posted?

I have a Facebook site for these cars as well:

"1994 Cobra SVT Indianapolis 500 Pace Cars"

Thanks. And though the project seems massive it has been over two years in the making. Thus far we have a complete listing of every car at the track as well as the Replicas from 1988 to date, with the exception of some of the 1990 replica Berettas, most of the 1991 cars are missing, missing just 18 of the 1994 cars (also have all the Mustang GT info), most 1996 info is missing. Everything else is complete. We also have complete listing of 1971, 1973, 1978, 1984, 1986 plus the cars used at the track for 1970, 1974, 1975, 1982, and working with some clubs for the 1967-1969 data. The various enthusiast groups have really come together to help complete this project.

Don’t know if any of the information is valuable, or if you even still visit this forum, but I have this info:

1FALP45D9RF098732
Cobra one of five supposedly, standard transmission

1FALP45T3RF170825
GT automatic one of 108

1FALP45TXRF10092010/??/19934
GT DSO 47 automatic one of 108

1FALP45TXRF146702
#26 GT automatic one of 108

1FALP45T9RF14670702/??/1994
#31 GT DSO 89

1FALP45T1RF14671702/??/1994
GT DSO 89

158XXX going forward are the 1000 cobras with standard transmissions, built between March and April 1994

This one stuck out at me:
1FALP45T6RF229558
DSO 52 GT

This was listed on eBay in 2010 it’s a GT, and the DSO is 52 instead of the 47 all the other GT pace cars were. It was also produced much later, so something is up with the production order.
