Geezzz........

Whats a guy to do that owns one of the 83 built Dale Earnhardt Intimidator Camaros? It is a GMMG built car and Matt was very happy to work with Earnhardt on it prior to his death.

Should I take it to 140+ MPH and wrap it around a telephone pole simply to collect the insurance so I could buy a ZL1?

Any thoughts?

No, of course not ! ! !

Your Intimidator SS is certainly a very special car. I would love to own one of those as well. The point I was trying to make was that not only are the Phase III package cars special, but so are the Phase II and Phase I cars. For those folks that have considered taking their cars from Phase I to Phase II, I was attempting to assure them that they would be happy with the outcome. It is not my desire to knock your car, the Tom Henry cars, the 35th anniversary performance cars or any other special cars Matt and the crew have produced. I apologize if any of you misunderstood my comments. That was not my intent at all. I was just trying to make the point that I feel ALL of the GMMG cars will be collectable SOMEDAY given the proper love, care and attention they deserve.

Craig . . . Save the car and put your thoughts through the phone line to us . . . I say you build it into the first Intimidator SS with a Phase 3 - 427. Dale would have his upfitted by now . . . He was enough of a terror with 381HP, I'd hate to see him behind the wheel of 600HP in a street Camaro . . .

JD . . . the Phase 2 is an animal and yes, only a few know that . . .

i think how ever you bought those cars they should stay that way. if you want a different one, buy it. if you can't afford it sell the one you have and buy the one you want. if you still can't afford it then i'm sorry for you. don't mess with originality.
