Default Cars at the Shop Version 2.0

Here is a kinda large update!

Pics from a local cruise even I help with.
















Crazy GM SEMA show/concept car we have. it is a 1988 Camaro shown at SEMA in 1991. Has complete Corvette ZR1 running gear (the DOHC engine was co-developed with Lotus, and was rated at 375hp in 1990, and later 405 in 1992?) The car started life as a very rare (supposedly only 8 made in 1988) 1LE race package Camaro, then was modified by GM for the SEMA show.








A Firebird Race car we also purchased at Barrett Jackson.



Some Corvettes in the shop...


Tires for corvettes....24 sets to be exact...

A really cool (and somewhat rare) 1968 Firebird I am helping a customer finish. Has the only produced for 2 years SOHC straight 6 engine.

That is pretty flipping sweet. What ever becomes of those cars after their career at Bondurant?

We buy them, and resell them as track cars, or keep a few for ourselves
We pretty much leave them in "as in" condition and sell them as race cars.
They are a little rough for the milage (20-30K) miles, however they all have extensive maintenance.
