I spotted this Pewter 1979 Mustang Indianapolis 500 Pace Car at the 2010 Mustang and Ford car show at Uftring Ford in East Peoria, Illinois. This is the first time I've seen one of these in person. The graphics on this car are pretty neat in person.

The side of the car says, "Official Pace Car, 53rd Annual Indianapolis 500 mile race May 27, 1979". Check out the four gray horses in front of the wording.
(from page 9 of the 1979 Collection)
The hood is painted mostly flat black. Check out the huge "Mustang" letters on each side.
(from page 9 of the 1979 Collection)
The engine has some modifications. The Turbo 4-cylinder or this V8 were available with the Pace Car option.
(from page 9 of the 1979 Collection)
The interior is black with dark gray cloth seats.

In this view you can see the hood Cobra graphics and rear window louvers or sport slats. Usually the rear spoiler was color-coded to match the body.

The 1979 Cobra came standard with the W-code, 2.3L 130hp 4-cylinder Turbo engine or the optional F-code 5.0L 134 to 143hp (California emissions or not) V8. This appears to be the 5.0 liter V8 engine.
