www.TransAmPaceCar.com

The Indy Hauler had various models for the Indy 500, they had them as wreckers, suburbans, vans and also the fire utility trucks.

The Indy Hauler Fire Utility Truck was obviously painted "Red/White". :)

GMC even made a special one for James Garner, it was showcased in Hot Rod, October 1980 Issue.

Very nice!

I put the Indy "Van" Hauler Hood Bird on the back window of my 94. :)
It's no longer there though. :(

I then put this on on my hood of my 94 when I took the one off my back window.

Then my custom Trans Am Steering wheel. :)

I don't have the EPS file for it, wish I did then I would have had it printed as a "One Piece".
The place I had it printed it by pieces per colors and put it together. It lasted for about 8 years
and not it is starting to peel. I need to take it off.

I have an original "Indy Hauler" Hood Bird, but it's too big for the 94 hood. >:(
