Thanks for the clarification.
Matt at GMMG took a keen interest in building the Intimidators in conjunction with the late Dale Earnhardt
BTW, there were 83 cars built in the series. Car # 13 was never built.

#01 was a 2000 model and the first prototype(Sr and Jr debuted the first two prototypes at the 2000 Charlotte Winston cup race,with Sr blowing his engine and Jr smoking his brakes)Of the 30 signed cars,#1-28 are included with those two prototypes.#46,#50,&#52 were signed for California customers.
It should be noted that the legacy of these cars was furthered when Dale Jr won his first Daytona 500 on the third anniversary of his fathers passing,and the third anni of this cars production run.
This car is pretty far from a simple graphics package.It embodies the spectrum of the camaros evolution(Dale's father Ralph raced a 67 Z28 on short tracks) and Sr was very passionate about what went into this car.
These were only availible through DE chevy in Newton NC.Sadly he left before seeing any of his cars delivered,the production was cancelled and only 83 were built.History repeats and 60k will be peanuts in a few years,if you look at the allure of the Yenko/Gibb cars(who were hobbyist racers)how do you compare it to a chevrolet's most famous factory driver/dealer of all time?..not to mention how many more cup wins/championships Jr will add to it's history.Hindsight being what it is,how many of those 69 ZL1's were sold initially?
