i was watching Speed HD channel last weekend and caught a repeat highlights show of the barrett-jackson auction and was literally drooling when i saw this roll on the stage... check out that sale price !!! also notice how different the mirrors are



1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo "Intimidator" Show Car



Lot Number: 83
Details: A NASCAR-inspired show car that offered a glimpse of the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo styling. Features aggressive styling cues and performance-enhancing technology. We like how it's a "street legal" car being sold on a Scrap Title — because, like most of the others, it's not able to be legally driven on public roads.
Day Sold: Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Sale Price*: $148,500.00

 

whats the point of owning it if you cant drive it legally?! and for that much money. it looks cool as hell though

 

i don't know if someone posted it here, but i've seen that before somewhere. i love it. i'd drive it. being street legal is overrated

 

Ya I saw that when it was broadcast live. GM was already thinking about the design of the 6th gen Montes back in 97 - very cool!!!

 

I'd drive that thing till i got busted for not being street legal.

 

Ive seen this before too. i never noticed it has the 3 on the doors and sponsers on the ground effects till i watched the bidding. heres a link if anyones interested.

I've seen pics of the one Nuffy posted before. But I don't get why it's not street legal? Exhaust or emissions maybe? I don't get it.

 

Its not street legal because it would pass crash test ratings. And I wonder how much hp its making?

Edit: Doorhandles i want!!

 

Yeah, we don't want a car that passes crash test ratings.

Just kidding. I knew what you meant.

I thought the same thing when I saw the door handles.

 

You can buy that front end for a 6th gen Monte. It's a little different, but street legal.
