Well, I've never heard of it before. Intimanator was used on some fox body mustangs and the new Monte Carlos.

I believe it's called 'The Intimidator', named after the late Dale Earnhardt, Senior. It is a 4th gen Z28 with the SS option package. 381 HP. There were only 83 built (allegedly), and only 30 of those have the Dale Eardhardt Signature Edition dash (allegedly).

It's a GMMG car.

It's more than a conCept. You could buy one if you had the money.

GMMG in Marrietta, GA created the Dale Earnhardt Intimidator Series cars. They were 381hp SSs. GMMG also made the ZL1, the Berger Camaros and the Blackhawk. Dale Sr was to sign every car prior to being sold, but was killed at Daytona before all the cars were sold. There were Intimidators made for a couple years, but not many...

As previously mentioned, this is not 3rd gen related.
