Modern Muscle: GMMG Legends’ Invitational Display

Hosted by Matt Avery

We like to be "ahead of the curve" at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. Previously we announced our Malaise Era Muscle Invitational, spotlighting the 1973-1987 era. While our primary focus will always be American Muscle and Corvettes of the 60's and 70's, we know there is growing interest in some of the newer High Performance cars.

GMMG Camaro Invitational

• The curated group of Dick Harrell Edition vehicles will be the largest gathering

since they were new

• This is the first time GMMG vehicles have ever been spotlighted at MCACN.

• The display will be hosted by author and Camaro historian, Matt Avery.

• Educational seminar will provide insight into the cars’ full origins and story.

The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is racing into the millennium era of modern muscle, debuting an invitational gallery of ultimate Camaros assembled by the powerhouse duo of Berger Chevrolet and GMMG. The pair charged hard, redefining the availability of showroom speed in the early 2000s and serving as a leading provider of bespoke 4th-generation Camaro programs.

While GMMG created hundreds of Camaros, this dazzling one-of-a-kind display will

highlight the utmost echelon: the 2002 Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition Camaro.

The limited run featured extensive modifications including the availability of a

Corvette-sourced 427ci C5R V8 race engine and a striking wide body design that

included carbon fiber components. When new, many of these wild vehicles carried

prices well over $100,000 and boasted upwards of 630 horsepower. Even more remarkable is that Berger Chevrolet sold the entire production run, offering

lead-foot customers a new-car experience truly unlike any other.

Now, in celebration of the vehicles’ 20th anniversary, a curated assembly will make their official debut at MCACN, offering yet another reason to join us.

“What Berger Chevrolet and GMMG accomplished with this run is the closest we’ll

likely ever come to recapturing the magic of the go-fast dealer programs of the 1960s,’ said Matt Avery, host of the display. Show-goers will get to see such rare examples as the bookend pair that started and ended the historic run: cars #01 and car #30. Other display highlights include the reuniting of the Sunset Orange Metallic twins, cars #04 (one of just 2 equipped with the rare Phase 5 upgrade) and car #15. This will mark the first time these vehicles have appeared together at this level of event.

A New Educational Seminar

To give guests the inside track behind the creation of these radical Camaros, Avery will present a new seminar entitled ‘Berger’s Supercar: The Dick Harrell Edition Camaro’. The educational lecture dives deep into the events leading up to this landmark Camaro program, spotlights the key players who made it all happen and thoroughly details the performance and cosmetic contents that were added to make these renown vehicles so legendary. The research is drawn from Avery’s newest book, Camaro Special Editions, which includes a close look at GMMG’s efforts.
