'99 SS500

[Marina66SS]

I am starting to build a modern day muscle car. I have gotten a blessing from Mr. Joel Rosen of Baldwin-Motion fame to do a 21st century muscle car with the Phase III paint scheme. The photoshop pictures are below. This car will have 500hp and feature a 4.10 12-bolt rear end, Bilstein suspension, custom built sidepipes, American Racing Torque Thrust wheels and all the other race goodies. So let me know what you think about this concept.

If it was my car I would lose the hockey stick strip on the fenders first. Then I would have the tail stripe follow the angle of the spoiler along the side and have the stripe taper along the body line like the Camaros that Motion built did. I would also paint the roof panel body color since the stripe, in my opinion, is enough.

I am going to paint the roof red I just didn't do it on the photoshop picture. I thought about doing the scheme that you are talking about. But I chose to do the '69 scheme instead of the '70. I have enclosed the picture to show where I got the stripe and that it is a real Baldwin-Motion scheme.

I think the '70-71 scheme would look a whole lot meaner on it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thanks for all the comments. I just added up a ballpark figure I came up with an option price of about $21,000. That is with a hot engine set up, Brembo, Leather interior upgrade and much more. It is on the pricey side for most people but compared to the other aftermarket cars out there it is a bargain.

I have been working on setting up an option for the soon to be released GTO. I have a great name for the car along the lines of "The Judge". Anyway I was thinking about making options that weren't so much money. So I transfered that info over to what I am doing for the Camaro and this is what I have come up with.
