All of the fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaros were sold long ago – with the exception of (at least) one. General Motors keeps it at home.

At my house, Christmas comes once a week. I receive media test vehicle presents on Wednesdays and discover what they contain over the course of a week.

A 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 – or what very little was left of it – was crane-lifted from its tomb of almost two months. Kevin and Linda Helmintoller of Tampa, Florida donated the tuner special to the NCM […] More »
