2001 Intimidator SS Camaros - The Intimidation

As a unique feature, each Intimidator SS would carry Dale Earnhardt's personal signature on the new silver dash face. Unfortunately, only 33 of the gauges were signed before Dale's untimely death at Daytona in 2001. This meant that out of the 83 '01 Intimidator SS Camaros, 51 were left unsigned.

For as nice and somewhat unique as this car is, it was not found in a barn. It lived in a museum - the clickbait title is very disingenuous. But, you are getting your 15 minutes of fame, right?

With that said: Just drive it - it isn't going to be worth the long-term investment projections being an aftermarket sticker job and some bolt-ons. You might as well enjoy it before you die. Someone already saved her chastity for you... now ride it long and hard.
