Cool.. but I think something is fishy here... the Yellow SSRs were used in 2005 (not as the pace car, but a promotion car), but the decals are different than what is shown by this dealer.

Someone probably scammed the dealer and he is trying to recoup his money by passing the scam along to someone else.
I could not read the door decal.
The Slingshot SSR's that were sold were parade vehicles and I think they were all automatics.
This one is advertized as the SSR Pace Truck and is a 6 speed.

Guess I'd want to see some documentaition if I was buying it. Based on what I've learned about the pace SSRs I don't believe this one was used as a race pace truck. My contacts at Wheel 2 Wheel who built the pace SSRs have confirmed that any used in IRL or NASCAR races had Whelan strobes in the tailgate (at minimum). I'd put this truck into the "official IRL vehicle" category--different from pace and parade SSRs. Intersting to spectulate on it though.
Funny, I did that too last night and saw that it had been serviced a couple of times before being sold at that auction and was then titled for the first time with the 24,xxx miles on it. I've seen other GM owned vehicles with a Carfax like this which leads me to believe it was most likely that IRL Green Flag tour truck. No real extra value to me because of this, but interesting just the same. Again, hope that there's some doc. with the truck or it's just an '05 Slingshot with 46k on the clock.
Just an update. The seller (dealer) of this truck still hasn't responded to the question/note I sent below on 3/19. Leads me to believe he doesn't have any doc. on the truck.
Hello, do you have any documentation from the Indy Racing League or General Motors that verifies that this was an actual pace SSR? The graphics and door decals are correct for the 2005 IRL Green Flag Tour SSR that toured the U.S. to promote the '05 IRL season, but without paperwork it's hard to prove any history the truck may have. Please let me know what you have. Thanks.

Gee, I don't know. He was kind enough to LOWER his reserve and LOWER his "buy it now" after all this attention. He must really believe in the background of this vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe,I believe,I believe.................DOROTHY WAKE UP K
