Vehicle Description
There isn't enough space here to tell you about the awesomeness
that was Dick Harrell, but this amazing special edition 2002
Chevrolet Camaro built in his honor should give you a clue. LS6
power, carbon fiber bodywork, #23 out of 30 built, and immaculately
preserved with just 720 miles. This is a car that is as special as
the man.
Built by the legendary Chevrolet dream car factory GMMG and sold
only through Berger Chevrolet, this limited edition Camaro packed
every trick they knew about going fast in a GM car. GM engineers
were involved in the project, including prototyping it in the GM
studios, so it has a very OEM look and feel and an incredible level
of fit and finish. The body is augmented by flared fenders and a
custom hood, all of which were rendered in composite materials to
shave weight. The front fascia is a bit more aggressive and there's
a three piece wing out back that actually produces useful
downforce. The body was smoothed and painted Sebring Silver, a
traditional Chevy performance color, and topped with custom Dick
Harrell graphics that emulate the look of his drag cars throughout
the '60s and '70s. It also happens to be one of the best-looking
Camaros we've ever seen, and with just 720 miles, you know it's in
factory fresh condition. If there's a late-model F-body worth
collecting, this is most definitely it.
Most of the 30 Dick Harrell Edition Camaros had stock interiors,
but with the blessing of Dick's daughter, Valerie, this special
Camaro received custom black and white houndstooth cloth inserts in
the sport seats, a look that probably should have been standard
equipment. They also added special embroidery on the headrests and
custom Dick Harrell floor mats to make it look special. You could
get either transmission in these special cars, with this one
sporting a Hurst-shifted 6-speed manual, which is obviously the one
to own. White-faced gauges give the instrument panel a slightly
different look, and there's a special plaque on the dash that
signifies this as a limited edition Berger Supercar. It's in
awesome condition, obviously, and it still carries all of the
factory equipment including A/C, power windows and locks, a tilt
wheel, and cruise control, not to mention an AM/FM/CD stereo that
you'll probably never use. It all works properly, making this a
supercar you can use every day if you want.
The heart of the Dick Harrell Edition is a 427 cubic inch LS6
powerplant developed for use in the C5R race cars. Making 630
horsepower and 575 pounds of torque, it's outrageously fast, but
thanks to careful tuning, it's no more difficult to drive than a
stock LS1 Camaro. It's an easy fit in the Camaro's engine bay,
since externally it's no different than a stock LS motor, although
the aluminum intake is a dead giveaway. You'll note that it's been
signed by all the important folks involved with the project and
comes complete with special decals and red valve covers so you know
it's something special. The stock 6-speed was retained and doesn't
seem to mind the horsepower, and there are 4.56 gears out back that
make it scary fast off the line, just like Dick himself. The
suspension was lowered, the brakes are from a Z06 Corvette, and it
sits on special powdercoated Fikse wheels that are unique to this
car. Sticky Goodyear F1 Supercar tires ensure it launches and
handles properly.
Almost new in every imaginable way and fully documented with the
original window sticker and title work, this is a spectacular
collector-grade Camaro that's also amazing to drive. Call now!
