If this forum is about special edition cars, how come no one ever mentions the Dale Earnhardt Intimidators?

Does anybody own one...or know of someone who does? If so, I'd really like to talk to them.

Thanks for any info.

 

Yep, a buddy of mine owns one.

Here are some photos of his:









And ya know I got to include a couple of pics of mine too, even though it isn't an Intimidator SS





** The above pic's of my ZL1 were taken by Jeff Murphy at the SuperCar Reunion in Collinsville, IL Labor Day weekend 2004.

 

Thanks for the reply J.D. I see you own the #17 02 ZL1. Bet that puts a smile on your face and I'am sure you had fun at the Supercar reunion. I'am a member of the Yenko Supercar forum.

Do you know what GMMG number your friend's intimidator is? I'am attemping to put together a very PRIVATE owners list but the cars are very elusive. Many have changed hands and are scattered all over the country.

If you would, send me a email and I'll give you more info.

Thanks for your help...Craig.

 

Craig, I too have seen you on the sYc site. Great site as well as this one.

As to Karl's #, no, I don't know which # it is right off hand. I will try to find out for you and let you know though. His is a one owner car and has never been driven by anyone other than him. Up until last summer, he hardly ever drove it. Prior to June of last summer, I think it only had 300 or 400 miles on it. But then, he took it on Power Tour with his handicapped son and they together had an absolute ball. He belongs to the Mid-Iowa Camaro Club along with me - www.midiowacamaroclub.com. A friend of mine, his wife their 7 year old son, another friend and myself (all of us members of the Mid-Iowa Camaro Club) hooked up with them and the tour in Davenport, IA last summer and did the rest of the tour. Davenport was really cool, even though it rained. Got to see lots of folks we knew including Matt Murphy, Ken Boje, Charlie Lilliard, Larry Christensen, etc.

- an Intimidator SS came to the Hawkeye Camaro-Fest on June 26th, 2004 at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny, Iowa (presumably this was Karl's)

 

No presumably about it ! ! !

These are the pics of my friend's Intimidator SS. I should know since as a moderator of the club's website not only did I take the pictures but also posted them. I also was instrumental in putting on this show (Hawkeye Camaro-Fest 2004) for our club. This show will be put on again this summer on July 9th, 2005 as a part of Ankeny Fest.

Why would you insult me by doubting me when you don't even know me?

 

Well, why would you assume that was an insult!?!

Geez!! I was just trying to help you guys out by collecting all that information in one place, and this is the thanks I get??

I said 'presumably' there because you did not specify in the June thread who the owner of the Intimidator was that came to the show, but I could presume that it was the same guy's since it was the same club - it theoretically could have been someone else's though. 'Presumably' just meant "It doesn't say whose it was but I can assume it was the same guy based on what else has been said." If I had left out the 'presumably' (could just as easily have put 'I assume' instead... same thing) and just said "it was Karl's", then if it had been someone else's you probably would've gotten pissed off about that instead!

I don't need this kind of ridiculous overreaction over a misinterpretation of one little word (and after I try to help, no less), so I guess I'll just stay out of this section.

 

I know of one in Ohio and one in Illinois, unfortunately do not know the car numbers.

 

If I overreacted to this, I apologize.

By using the work "presumably" you certainly created some doubt as to whether I knew what I was talking about or not and hinted at the thought of deception, IMHO.

I agree, the word assume would have been a better choice.

However, if no ill will was meant, I again apologize.

I have forwarded Karl's information on to NC Guy after talking to Karl on the telephone today. NC Guy will contact Karl and get all the information that he is wanting to compile. ACW, the Mecum Auction that you listed in Des Moines was Karl's car, but fortunately, it did not bring what he wanted out of it to sell it and he decided to keep it.

 

Thanks for apologizing Like I explained already, the only thing I was expressing doubt about was my guess about whether it was the same car or not.

 

Gentlemen,

Thanks for 'clearing the air' so to speak. Looks like it was a simple misunderstanding. The input so far has been very helpful.

Lets continue this thread and thanks for your help

 

Thanks for your reply. I see you own a Phase II Berger car which I'am sure you're proud of. They are very nice cars!

Can you give me any owner contact info about the Intimidators in Ohio or Ilinois? I appreciate any help.

Feel free to Email me and enjoy your Berger car.

Craig

 

Do you have any owner contact info on theses cars?

Thanks for any help.

 

Unfortunately I do not.

The Intimidator in IL, is locate in Carol Stream or Bloomingdale. I've only seen the car twice. I beleive the owner of the car puts on a small car show in the summer, so I'll try to find it. I beleive this is a singed car.

The car in OH, I saw for the first time last summer. I have photos at home, so I'll see what I got. If I recall coorectly this car is not signed by Dale Sr. But Dale Jr. and Mike Waltrip have signed it.

Thanks for the compliments, the Berger is one fun car.

 

Did you contact Gib & Tammy Loudon in Michigan?

 

J.D., I don't have contact info for them. If you do, please send it.

Thanks.....Craig

 

Please send any info you have on the IL. car.

The other one could be the # 5 car. Its' the only one I know of that has been signed by Dale Jr. and Mike Waltrip. Their signatures are on each sunvisor. If it is # 5, its' owned by a gentleman in PA. I have photos and all the numbers on it.

Thanks for any help....Craig.

 

sorry to be off the subject...but what part of nc are you in????Jacksonville here....

 

Near Raleigh.
