No, The Y89 denotes any 10th Anniversary.  The Pace Cars are not noted anywhere on the car... not even the Original Build Sheet or PHS Documents.

the pace car decals were all dealer installed from what i have read,and i think they came in the trunk from the factory,or could have been ordered by the dealer.

i think i read there was only 60 TATAs at the track for the Daytona in 79.

i insatalled the decals when i had mine painted,just because alot of people never knew about the 10th being a pace car.

and after having the decals on my for the last 5 years,the ones without the decals look real plain,and it just makes another conversation piece about the car also.

Remember that Van Nuys built TATA's typically do not have "Y89" stamped on the cowl tag...whereas most Norwood built units do.
