Camaro, not Camero.

Did GM officially make 10 of these cars? No.

383? No. Trickflow heads? No.

Sounds like a pretty cool car though, I would still consider buying it, WHOEVER built it!



...but it wasn't GM.

Whats the asking price on it?

Also, what was the dealer that it was originally sold at? That may lead to some answers as to the history. Some dealers have been known to take a few cars and soup them up for a higher sticker price. Similar to the Yenko and COPO cars out there. There was another dealership back east that was doing this to 4th gens and was putting a 380hp sticker on the hood. DOn't remember the name though.

Just a thought.

I don't think I could buy a car like that. If I didn't know who built it, or what parts were in it. I just couldn't justify it. Who knows what kind of job they did. JMO of course.

who built it??

there is a simple answer to the last post....drive the car...it will take about 5 minutes to decide if the build is quality or junk....just becouse the origin of the parts is unknown doesnt mean you cant decide if its a quality job or not....if the car runs like stink,,doesnt overheat,has few creeks and rattles and all body panels line up properly,, i would say the car was built right an dtaken care of,,,theres just no real way to fake quality!!
