Saw this ad posted locally. I've never heard of anything like it, what do you guys make of it??? Seems legit enough, but maybe my knowledge is limited.

Pretty sure there a guy on here that owns one or two but may be T/A's. I could be wrong though.

Might want to repost and make the title of the thread player challenge camaro.

 

I'm pretty sure the car has already sold....

 

Tried to buy it, didnt you?

 

More than trying to buy it (personally) i was referring to the historical aspect of it. Ive never heard of such a car, so i was inquiring about what this was.... (player's challenege, etc....). Was it chevy's version of the firehawk or something? Or a variation of a pace car? or....?

 

It was designed for the factory racing series. R7U cars were built for Canadian racing. Just as the description states. They are 1LE cars.

 

The very first sticky in this forum is about them

 

Youre right, i guess i glanced over that one

Sure look like an idiot now. Was an interesting, read, thanks.

 

That is a R7U Player's car. The fellow started a complete restoration on the car. Pulled the engine, detailed it, added the seal markings and so forth. It's a 1LE R7U.

Looking at the VIN, it is a 1990 production year car, so it is 1 of 65 made that year. The 32 were built in 1991. (Remember the 1991 model was built over two production years).

Mark.
