Default Rick Hendrick Edition?

Hey guys I was doing my weekly autotrader crawl and I noticed a Z28 that looked pretty nice well upon closer inspection of the ad I noticed it said it was a Rick Hendrick edition! What exactly is this. Its a 97.

So do you think it would have any collector value. I think it has like 80k miles, 6 speed and its like 7K. Worth It?

It could have somewhat of a collector value. But i also think that is a damn good price regardless of the hendrick stuff for the ss period.

That's a great price if it's in good shape. But to keep it's value, you won't be able to drive it much.

*drool* Those are super rare...i'd love to find one of those. Then again, if you look at my signature, i have a hard time keeping anything stock. Even when they only made 500 in that year. Oh well, to each is own. At least i know that there isn't another car like mine, so in my opinion my car is 1 of 1

Yea, I'm not trying to be a dick. Just kind of funny. All our cars are unique to every owner, I'm not going to deny that. Only thing is if our names were Rick Hendricks or some other famous name along those lines then our cars would be collector cars

No i didn't think you were being a dick. I've just heard it from EVERYone. Dude you car is a Firehawk why did you do that? I put a new motor in, swapped the auto for a manual, 12 bolt rear end, 100% suspension, wheels, exhaust, Foruma to Trans Am body swap, 2000-2002 Interior, custom BMW paint.

So i just hear it all the time that i ruined a "collectors car." So that's what i was saying...but my car (to me) is a 1 of 1 car...no one else's is like mine, and that to me makes is special.

that is the reason we modify our cars to begin with isn't it...t make them our own.

Any car can be restored to OEM condition.

tell them to shut the **** up. Cars were meant to be driven, and modified. GM didn't send your car through the assembly line thinking "oh man, this is a rare package, i hope nobody ever modifies it." I don't care if i have a geo metro or a porsche gt1, if there's something about it i don't like, i'm going to change it, and you bet your *** i'm going to drive the hell out of it, too. (maybe not the metro lol)
