knowlege needed about the "Earnhardt edition" camaros
to make a long story short......
About 2 years ago I heard about a "Dale Earnhardt" edition camaro (01 SS) being in town.... I checked it out and really could care less about this so called "package" it had. It was a nice car at a good price so i bought it. This is the car i currently own today.
at the time i made a post in reguards to this "package" it supposedly had in order to get to the bottom of this. The guy i bought it from said it came with an ls6 b/c of this package (never heard of an f body w/ full ls6 )...... well , it does have the ls6 block but this guy supposedly knows his f body stuff ....
so after researching the topic i find out that there was only 1 "intimidator" series camaro made (the black ones) so i assume the guy i bought the car from was full of ****..... but here lately i've been hearing about some kind of Dale Earnhardt "signature series" camaros that supposedly exhist...
The only thing "DE" about the car is a small silver Dale Earnhardt signature below the left taillight.. This "sig series" camaro also has ugly seats/door panels in the interior. My SS has the black marble looking pattern to its seats and door panels, IMO it looks sh!tty....Performance wise, from what i can tell its just a basic ls1 but it always pulls hard from other ls1's. Maybe it was just a factory goody as some are. The car is pewter w/ a black hard top.
Any info on this subject will be greatly appreciated.

I thought all Earnhardt SS where black with a sliver hood scoop, performance wise Im not sure. One of the kids I went to high school with dad had one but I never really talked to him about it. Sorry Im wasnt much help but thats all I know about them

They are. All the Intimidator SS's are black w/silver stripe. There were 83 made in 2001. The first batch (I think up to number 38) were hand signed on the gauge overlay by Dale. They were available Phase I;II; or II. They were converted by GMMG and the same upgrades were available as for the other GMMG Camaros. The pewter car could have been something dale Earnhardt Chevrolet sold with a couple of stickers added to it. There was a bunch of that stuff over the years on all different Chevies. (Lumina; Monte; Camaro; trucks) I have a friend that bought one of the Intimidators and he has done a lot of research on them. Do you want to sell yours??

I still have all the origional paperwork/ warranty info on the car. It was all left in the glove box. The car was bought from Mac Haik Chevrolet in houston, texas. Not a DE dealership. so i guess the mystery continues..
