I need to make sure Im not getting scammed. Its a 2000 pewter SS. Its an automatic, supposedly its an slp ss. Only I thought the only dale earndharts were black with black billet grills and 200s american racing wheels?

anyway, it just has silver 10 spokes, and the only thing I see on the car that sais its a dale earndhart edition is the little badge under the driver tail light.

it also has cloth interior. Soo.. automatic + cloth interior= real thing? or is this guy twisting my leg?



and if it truly IS a dale earndhart SS... what would this thing be worth? he sais its mint and has 45000 miles


thanks guys!

sooo.. does this thing look legit? Im not gonna be buying it from him, rather trading my 2004 gto automatic with 106k miles. Im only doing this so I can flip this car and hopefully sell it for around 12000. does that sound like the right price for this car?

The car is a fake, the badge on the inside door jam is a badge you can buy off of eBay labeled as a slp clone jam badge. If the gauges and seat dont say it and the SS badges on a Dale edition are different as well it is a circle instead of the regular SS. It isn't real. If all else fails check the VIN but I'm 99% sure it's a fake

this guy is swearing up and down its one. he sais all the decals under the hood has the dale earnhardt badge. Im still waiting on those pics to come..

can you for 100% sure say this car is a fake? no doubt about it?

Looks like a base auto SS with z28 tips, not the real thing.

05-13-2012, 12:37 PM
Sorry they have the regular SS badges plus a intimidator badge under it, sorry. They only came in black and as far as I can tell they are all leather

05-13-2012, 12:39 PM
I'm 100% sure after I just got through doing a little research on them. How much was the guy asking?

05-13-2012, 12:40 PM
man preciate it guys. I hate a fu*kin scammer!

Ive been around fbodys for years and have had 5.. and I always knew what the intimidator SS looked like.. but this guy had me questioning myself for a minute.

I noticed the sticker said graphics and wheels.. even though they are 10 spokes and what graphics? lol


alright preciate yall! have a good mothers day

05-13-2012, 12:43 PM
I hate people like this, this guy probably buys base model cars and clones them to rip people off every chance he gets, it's sad that there's probably a 16 year old kid thinking he has a somewhat rare Fbody bragging to all of his friends while they call him a liar behind his back when he doesn't know any better. All because of this DOUCHE!

No problem guy I did a shit ton of Internet work before I bought my 96 SS cause I know there aren't that many of them and everyone try's cloning, but luckily for me it turned out to be the real thing. I can't believe this guy thought he could get that to pass as an intimidator lol he might be able to pass it as an SS cause that's a lot closer to what it is, it's a regular Z/28 with hood and spoiler

I cant read the plaque on the dash by the fog light button, but its probably some intimidator crap he had made lol

This is another example of 'do your research' & know what you are buying so you don't get burned. You are one of the fortunate ones that did their homework first. Good job! Consider yourself lucky.

If anyone has questions about any GMMG go to the GMMG Registry, do your homework & learn before you commit to buying. Research on any car you may want to purchase & it could save you a lot of issues & money at a later date.

There are too many people attempting to take your money, a lot of misconceptions & a lot of 'so-called-experts' that don't have a clue when it comes to GMMG's. If looking for a GMMG talk to a GMMG owner of the model you are looking at. They WILL know.

The Registry was started for just this reason & is work in progress. GMMG owners are working hard to insure the correct information is available. If you have anything to add, think there is a scam or wrong information please e-mail @ info@gmmgregistry.com & share with all of us.

There have been 2 or 3 'real' DEI's on E-Bay recently. Keep watching if you want a real one. I also keep a list of GMMG's for sale that I am aware of.

T . . . , the badge on the inside door jam is a badge you can buy off of eBay labeled as a slp clone jam badge. . . .

Just FYI that silver decal is not fake . . it was on the 1997 and OLDER SS's . .

It is fake on that Pewter Car . .

Lol yes it is too a fake. My 96 Camaro SS's is a sticker from SLP none of them had a decal package, that I know of mine came with all options, oil cooler, suspension, tires ect. They were paper stickers the whole time just like everyone else's, and they go into more detail instead of just saying "tires" and graphics"

Your car might be different though Xsta Z 28, since there were only 9 of your car built, but all door jam stickers I have seen on all my cars have way more information on them than that metal decal does

The badge on the back below the taillight could just mean the care was purchased from that dealership, but it is definitely not an Intimidator SS. And I thought that later SS cars were built by GM, not SLP?

There were Dale Earnhardt Signature Series Camaros, most of which had black and white checkerboard seat inserts, and I think the last year they made those was 1999. I don't have my files on this computer to check. I believe every single one of those cars was black.

There was also a Chevy dealership in NC I believe named Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet, and the badges were put on many, many, many cars.
