Rare 1979 Ford F-150 Indy Speedway Truck Pops Up for Sale
By Brett Foote

GM enjoyed a long run of Indy Pace car honors in the '70s and '80s, but Ford managed to take over in 1979 and offer a very cool truck package.

 

I was just having a conversation with the wife while watching the race on Sunday. I told her I remember when the Pace Car/Truck meant something, you were able to buy one with the graphics from the dealer. What happen to that? I guess nobody wants to drive a family hauler pimped out with Nascar graphics anymore......

 

I had a 79 Pacecar Mustang. It would have been neat to have this truck to trailer it with to the shows I went to.

 

If I'm not mistaken, they made some Econolines for Indy as well. I'm pretty sure that there was a third model in '79, besides the Mustang and the F100-F350 trucks.
