If insurance was only 20 bucks, I'd be renting that every month.

You would think a guy who installed a Car PC could figure out it was a joke...

I am pretty sure it just happened to get parked there during a Power Tour or something...

No way ANYONE (besides GM Performance Division) owns that car IF it even still exists (I heard from a GM employee it was crushed)...

No way YOU should be spouting off **** you know nothing about. GMMG did the prototype cars NOT GM. GMPD had nothing to do with the 69 ZL1's and 3 prototypes that were built other than giving the OK to GMMG. That is ZL1 PR-2 that Matt Berger owns. I have seen it and have several pictures of it from the Berger all Chevy show at his dealership. Matt won't sell that car. He had tried to sell his Hugger orange 427 ZL1 but didn't get a high enough bid. So he has that, PR-2, and a Dick Harrel car along with his wife having the only 427, automatic, convertable, Hot Rod car.

Alright jack ***, I never even said GMPD MADE the car, they were the only ones I thought MIGHT own the car because I had heard it was no longer in existence...

I KNOW IT WAS MADE BY GMMG!!!! Huge article on camaroz28.com....
