I Witnessed Dennis Collins Unearthing Two Ultra-Rare 1979 Camaro IROC Pace Cars and a Grand National

Let me tell you, I’ve watched every single episode of Dennis Collins’ Coffee Walk since he started dropping them on YouTube, but the one that dropped in spring 2026 absolutely floored me. It wasn’t just another flipper hustle—it was a legit barn-find bonanza. The man didn’t just score one 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28; he walked away with two documented IROC Sprite pace cars. And because Collins has deeper pockets than pretty much anyone I know in the muscle car game, he also scooped up a clean, higher-mile 1987 Buick Grand National just for good measure. Talk about a mic drop.

The whole thing went down at a dusty property outside Houston, where local gearhead Junior Hendrickson had been sitting on these gems for years. Junior is the kind of guy who knows every bolt and trim tag difference, and he gave Collins the full backstory on camera. I was glued to my screen. According to Junior—and backed up by a stack of original paperwork that most collectors would kill for—Chevrolet built just 25 of these Z28s for International Race of Champions duty in 1979. GM held onto them and rotated the cars from track to track, which means they never really saw civilian duty. The dead giveaway? The white-over-green color combo. A white exterior with that rare green interior was essentially exclusive to Sprite/Coca-Cola pace cars. You won’t find that on a run-of-the-mill Z28. And the provenance? Solid as a rock. Junior pulled out a confirmation letter from longtime IROC boss Jay Signori that ties the actual VINs of these two cars directly to pace-car service. That’s the kind of paper trail that makes auction bidders lose their minds.
