That car kicks a$$ now, yet alone 23 years ago in 1989 with an all aluminum, 540 BBC. I also noticed it had 3-piece wheels that were staggered and a nice, low stance. A true case of the meaning of something being "ahead of its time."

I still have a copy of this on VHS as well. Haven't watched it in years. Maybe have to dig this out tonight when I get home.

Hey Chris,

After you watch it, could you look for the manufacturer or producer or any other hints or clues as to where I can purchase one?...I gotta find another one after I lost mine when I lost my storage a couple of years ago...

GO BIG RED!!!

Was this the 1969 Camaro that was featured in Hot Rod Magazine in the late 80's that was raced in Mexico in an open raod challenge and blew away all the exotic european high dollar sports cars? If I recall it was a cover car for that issue.

As I recall the article's author mentioned that the race organizers changed the rules to exclude the car, and similar hot rod type cars in future events.

Or am I mis-remembering.... :wow:

I know I would never get rid of a car if it kicked as much a$$ as this one did.:lateral:
