Not stopping there, the blacked-out taillight panel gives kudos to the '67-72 SS 396 Camaros. The revised progressive-rate front and rear Eibach springs help the car maintain performance in the corners while playing a prominent factor in the menacing appearance of the 1.5-inch lower ride height.
"While driving this very special Camaro," GMMG's Matt Murphy says, "It's hard not to imagine Dale sitting next to you and saying, 'Well, get on it, HIT IT!' "
If there is any doubt that the Intimidator SS is a force to be reckoned with, this collectible Camaro SS will forever be a "humble" reminder that first place was the only acceptable position for NASCAR's most well-known racer-Dale Earnhardt Sr.
