Complete ground up build by Detroit Speed for Dale Jr. It was used
on the Dale Jr Hot Rod Tour where it traveled the country in a rig
with Dale's race car. There are 350 pictures of the build on DSE's
website. Once you look at the pictures, you'll have a better
appreciation for all the work that went into this car. It also has
its own brochure; it was the feature car on the cover of Camaro
Performers magazine and featured in Chevy Rumble magazine. This is
a high-quality precision build that would cost every bit of a
quarter million dollars to duplicate.
We just acquired this car back from the person we sold it to. He
put less than 1,000 miles on it, upgraded the speakers and had the
car wrapped. he says the paint is still outstanding under the wrap,
that is why he wrapped it to protect the paint. The wrap was
professionally installed and can be removed without damaging the
car. That is why it looks different than in the magazines, the last
2 pictures show it painted when we last owned it.
EXTERIOR: It looks amazing, DS prides itself on the right stance.
Excellent fit and finish! Laser beam straight, the gaps are
precise, doors shut like new. There's no rust or damage whatsoever.
It has a cowl hood and spoilers. Deleted emblems for a clean look.
It was recently professionally wrapped so nice it looks like a
beautiful paint job. Under the wrap is as show quality Glasurit
paint with a shadow gray over a Cortez silver. It's broken up with
custom painted flames with a marble texture and hand pinstripe
outline. Of course, all the stainless trim, bumpers, marker lights,
mirrors and handles were replaced. Billet taillight bezels, DS
electric headlight conversion and halogen high intensity
headlights. All the weather strips and seals were replaced. Budnik

new wiring harness throughout. Premium square loop carpet with

replaced and sealed with black chip guard paint. DS mini tubs were
installed to make room for some wide meats.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and replaced the reverse light switch
and charged the a/c.
Only 4,235 miles since built. This is an amazing piece of
machinery. Yeah, it looks awesome but when you drive it is when
you're smile will be from ear to ear! You won't get an opportunity
like this again to get a Pro Touring car with this much
provenance.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
