The GMMG Registry Forum

I wonder how many GMMG cars were B4C COPO cars?

Not sure. When I get back to WI I'll look & get close.



I have PE #37 - B4C - see Perf. section. Jim

Well Doug........................since you owned one at one time......................you know all of the ZL-1 Supercars were B4C cars......................and all of the hardtop Dale Earnhardt Intimidator SS's were B4C cars. :think:

Hmmmm.......



According to The White book, and I quote, "RPO B4C was police option for Z28. Included Goodyear P245/50ZR16tires, power steering cooler, body color roof, and 1LE rear control arms. Z28 emblems deleted. For 2001, 279 were automatic, 9 were six-speed".



Some observations I have made:



1. All 01 Intimidators are six-speed.

2. I have all the original documents for my # 38 Intimidator including the Vehicle Build Sheets. RPO B4C is no where to be found.

3. The White Book is regarded to be pretty accurate in the Camaro World but a few minor mistakes have been noted with some early printings.





In your defense J.D., I too have seen some where in print (don't remember where) that ALL 01 Intimidators began life with B4C. Something, Someone is screwed-up Somewhere.......



Will the most knowledgeable 01 Intimidator person please step foreward and clear this matter up? I'am more then confused........

From daytonajim's GMMG Registry on the 2001 Dale Earnhardt Intimidator:

2001 DEI Intimidator SS



The Numbers

85: Dale Earnhardt Intimidator SS Camaros were built.

1: '00 (prototype owned by Dale Jr. and the only one Dale Sr. ever drove).

1: '01 prototype.

83: '01 numbered cars.

1: '02 (non-numbered, specially built for Kelley Earnhardt).

33: Total silver-faced dashes were signed by Dale Sr.

Car numbers with black signed dashes: 1-12, 14-28, 46, 50, 52 and two prototypes.



32 signed in black ink and 1 signed in blue ink. (What # is signed in blue ink?)





38: T-tops. - 47: B4C Coupes.

Both prototypes were T-tops.



5 - ASR T-Top - 5 California Emissions - All 6 speeds



Last car is number 83.

30 deposits were taken before Dale Sr.'s death.

400 requests were received the week after the accident.

Intimidator SS #3 is owned by DEI and is believed to have less than 40 miles on the odometer.

That interesting.

I wonder what Matt M. did with the B4C factory parts he removed from the cars to make way for the up-grades? .... :confusion-shrug:



Anyone know?



I hope they didn't end-up in a dumpster somewhere.....

Hey Craig,



Far from the most knowledgable, but can offer my .02 as i did have this conversation with Matt years ago.As you are well aware, the whole Intimidator program was clouded in darkness from the start. Matt had to scramble to find cars, and with the help of Missy Brewster was able to get them through GM bailment pool. As far as i'm aware,none of them had RPO B4C. It was a "delete" package and not available with ASR or TTops. GM built 288 B4C Camaros for 2001 MY,279 were autos, nine were built with M6. Out of those nine three were 41U Onyx Black. At the time it was all he could do to fill orders.

Hey Mark, Glad you stopped in...... :handgestures-thumbup: ...Stick around and post often - your knowledge is very welcome.



What you said is true to my understanding as well. According to Ms Mitsy Brewster, Dale wanted the Intimidator program to be flawless and 'right on time' for potential buyers. Early in 2001, Matt told me it was his DREAM to work with Dale and he was going to do everything he could to 'make it happen'.



I should have said I wonder what happened to the factory B4C parts removed from ANY of the eventual GMMG cars, i.e. Zl1, Blackbirds, Tom Henrys, Bergers, etc. And I'am still wondering ...



BTW, Mitsy retired from Earnhardt Chevy five years ago and unknown to me in 2001, she was previously a regional GM 'Trouble-Shooter' for the southeast region. Plus, she and Dale had Great Respect for each other.....

Great thread........ Does anyone know what DEI car was signed in blue ink (only one)? I thought I knew, talked with the owner & he said not his.
