You supply enough money and vehicle quantities, GM will build it. This Camaro was purpose-built to meet specifications for the NHRA Stock drag racing and no, it does not come with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) so it cannot be titled or licensed and hence, street driven.
According to the Chevy website only 69 of these are produced a year, in honor of the year 1969 when the original drag racing Camaro was introduced and perspective owners must submit their name for a lottery to become a buyer.
Justins00ss:
1) Which engine is in this one: the "base" 350, the normally-aspirated 427 , or supercharged 427?
2) Does the Megs Detailer D170 Hyper Dressing become more "matte" in gloss on the tires in time? The photo shows the tires with a lot of gloss and I am not sure if this photo was taken immediately after application OR if the customer requested it that way and you "adjusted" the water-to-product ration to produce this particular "sheen" on the tires.
3) Are you the one who used LA Totally Awesome (LATA) for decreasing/cleaning wheel wells? (Yes, the APC you can buy over-the-counter at Dollar General)
Nice workmanship on this Camaro. Not a Camaro or drag racing fan, though.
