Default Fake GMMG car??

hey guys i was browsing ebay and i came across this car now at first glance i thought fake!! because i own an intimidator an have had many conversations with matt and he never mensioned this car but as i looked closer it has the badge on the driver side door jam so idk what to think it also has the px6 heads, it says it is a prototype but all the pictures of signatures are sketchy. so tell me what you guys think anyone ever heard of it???

Matt Murphy made this special car for an avid Dale Jr. fan.

It is real. I know the original owner, who unfortunately had to sell the car a few years ago.

Wow that's crazy. I never knew that. It's pretty rough looking. It doesn't appear to be keep very clean.

From what I have seen of the GMMG cars I would agree its a real GMMG car.

I'm one of the people involved with listing the car. Yes, it's a bit dirty, but we're planning on getting better pictures of the car up. Arizona dust is a pain in the butt, and since it mostly sits in the garage with only once every couple week runs outside, it collects a bit of dust.

GMMG11135 is the number on the inside of the door. If there's any information available on this car, I would be very appreciative, since I don't know much myself of what was done to the engine to increase the horsepower.

I'm really not sure. We're trying to get a feel for how much the car is worth, and we don't have a lot of information on it, unfortunately. We've got the dyno sheet and the original sticker from when the car was bought new, but none of the mods were recorded, unless we can get some information directly from GMMG. I've tried emailing them to see if I can get the info, but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

If no GMMG door tag then I'd question if it was the 'real-deal'.

Has any information on the car been found?

Default GMMG Tag # 111135

It's real & red.

JR#8 is how it's listed on my registry.

The car arrived @ GMMG with 32,015 miles

More photos & info?

Here are some updated photos if you'd like to add them to your registry - just after we got it cleaned up. http://picasaweb.google.com/dereck.britton/DEJrCamaro#

Is there any information on what's been done to the engine or suspension? That's been the big mystery for me.
