Lightning V8Star Pacecar
Hi Guys,
I found out yesterday by one of my members that the Lightning was the officially pacecar of Germany's 2002 V8Star races.
Here she is.
Here is another one.
What year do you think this model is?
Is it the True Blue color or was it painted?
BTW: They took off the Lightning batches.

So, it's not a real Lightning. 
That explains why they took off those batches.
Different rims, I have noticed that too.
But in that other picture, they look Lightning rims to me.

Well, there is no way to tell if it's real for sure without seeing it in person, BUT....
I'd be willing to bet it's not real.
The grille and lights indicate 99-00, although it does have 01-02 style headlamps
The rear slider is clear, which means it's 99 or older, 00s came standard with the privacy glass.
There are no visable cowl vent holes, so it's either a very early 99, or it's an earlier F-150
It's obviously not a 99 Lightning color, so it's either been repainted, or it's a regular F-150, which you could get in that color. I don't think that's the Lightning True Blue, looks a bit too light.
99 Lightning's didn't have the colored mirrors, but regular F-150s DID, which kind of backs up the above paint statement.
Either way it's neat.
The wheels in the top pic are most likely the on track set with rain tires, as the track is wet.

Well, in the side pics, you CAN see the cowl vent holes, which means it's a later 99 or newer. The regular F-150 still had that grille and privacy glass was an option, not standard in it's recent years.
So if it's a Lightning, it's gotta be a later 99. If it's a regular F-150, I'd be willing to bet it's a 99 or 00, possibly an 01.
