Andy you have to bring your Hendrick LT4 car to the Hendrick Motorsports car show this fall!
A 30th Anny SS is on my "Cars I must own one day" list and an LT4 car is the ultimate! I've got to see your car.

David, Great pictures, I see Rick Hendrick, Terry (The Ice Man) LaBonte and Ray Evernham. Was there any other crew or drivers there?

The man (very dark grey/blue polo & sunglasses) and the woman (light yellow t-shirt with red sunglasses) standing to Ray Evernham's right (he's on the far right of the picture with the blue crew shirt) are the orignal owners of my HMS LT4.

Here they are at time of delivery.

Not on that day . . . Jeff Gordon and Ricky Craven arrived on the following day - thus not all HMS Camaros have their
signatures.

I own one of the (Sebring Silver, LT1, #3132) cars sold out of the Cary, NC dealership. Unfortunately I am the 4th owner and the previous owner traded the car and kept all the window stickers and such so I don't know what number HMS it is. I would like to make it to this event, whether is is a SLP event in NJ or a Hendrick event in NC, I'm there! Please post some additional information.

The car show at Hendrick Motorsports is put on by the Carolina Camaro Association, www.carolinacamaroassoc.org
It's always in November. Here is the most current info from their website:
11/22/08 - CCA Event: Christmas Cruise for Kids car show at Hendrick Motorsports in Harrisburg, NC. Tentative date so stay tuned for more details.

From all the info I can find the total number was 61 . . .

I also know car #54 is no longer with us . . .

That'd be mine. I miss that car. And good to see Dave posting on the boards still. I miss the old SLP board. I was Diggler's HMS on there.

Looks like most of the production numbers were covered. I know there were 9 LT4 SS's, 61 LT1 SS's, and there were 30 3.8 V6 Hendrick Camaro's. I still see a couple of the V6's running around here in Chapel Hill every now and then, and one woman out here still daily drive's here Hendrick LT1 SS.

I've got a sheet I can probably access fairly easily.......if anyone is looking for breakdowns with factory options. I believe Reggie from SLP sent it to me a while back......maybe it was JeffY. Either way........the Hendrick SS is still one of the best looking Camaros. There will be one in my garage one day again.

That car definitely had presence when driving it down Atlantic Ave in Virginia Beach. A lot of people would stop and stare as it rolled down the street. It is by far one of the best LT1/LT4 cars ever made.

whenever i drive my dad's 30th anniv, i get looks from anyone i pass. the color combination and seats are enough to catch anyone's eye. i believe the 30th anniv SS's are the most recognizable of the 4th camaro's.

Anyone bringing their Hendrick Ed. car to the car show at Hendrick Motorsports on Nov. 22? I'll be there with my 1970 Chevelle SS and possibly my SOM 2001 SS.

Would be worth more being an LT4 but with the miles it's basically what someone would be willing to give you for it. To me mileage is only a number but for most it is the most important thing. All I can say is enjoy it!

Everyone has been playing down the collectability and value of the HMS Camaros, especially survivor cars like mine (130K miles) and yours. Noone can speak of where the market will go in say 20 years, but for now I plan to enjoy mine for what it is, a great handling, well balanced, american built sports car in what I think is the finest combination of color, stripe, wheel and exhaust ever offered for sale to the general public. I suggest you do the same, while preserving the originality. Enjoy.

Default HMS Camaro

I think do to the limited production and a number of camaro enthusiest think them desirable i would imagine the value to be a bit more than the regular Z28
I have owned a number of sports cars and really like the way this one handles
I don't think thier going to break the bank at Barrets auction anytime soon
They are not widely know. I believe most of them are in the Carolina's

the HMS cars will all be worth something no matter the mileage. i think even the 30th anniv cars will be worth something if they're kept under 50K. but i dont fancy them fetching for 100K+ ever.
