I believe they only made 9 of them. Pricey but kind of an ultimate factory package for an LT-1 F-body. Kind of like what SLP did with the 3rd gen Firehawks.

Nice. They should have had Lingenfelter optional engine upgrades available from the factory. That's they way LT1's should have come.

The people that bought that car are collectors. Especially since they only planned to make 50
