Default New Member Here To Say Hello

Hi-

Is this forum still active with current day members? I have what I believe is a very unique (rare) 2002 Monte Carlo Dale Earnhardt Special Edition. Would this be the right forum to ask questions about it?

Thank you,

Tom

So there were apparently 3,333 of the 2002 Monte Carlo Dale Earnhardt Special Edition cars made. Would you know if there is a rally car club for just owners of those cars?

Not sure what you mean by a rally club, thats not a term I've heard used before.

But Im not aware of any clubs specific to DE SR cars. I see theres a FB page for the 2004 JR cars, but couldn't find anything specific to the 02 SR.

Maybe I should start a new thread with my specific questions and pictures of the car.

@bumpin96monte -
To answer your question. We have all heard of Corvette clubs or Porsche clubs. Many of these clubs have car rallies. I wanted to know if there was a 2002 Monte Carlo SS Earnhardt Special Edition club.

Id bet it's 99%+ a 'no'.

Reason I say that is because even the biggest nation wide W body (all makes/ models on this body platform) + all 3800 powered vehicles (across multiple chassis platforms) gathering only draws a couple hundred cars a year these days across that huge pool of cars. That's if those even still happen - last one I saw was 2022. Thats also not even driving rallies, that's just a regular meet up.

So the chances of anything significant happening specific to one year, one make, one model, one trim is incredibly low. Ive never heard of one in my 20+ years on monte carlo forums.

I say 99% because maybe there's an obscure group of 2 or 3 people living in Timbuktu, but it's definitely not what you're thinking about with a Porsche or Vette club.

Okay, thanks very much! I need to start a new thread with specific questions and photos.

Welcome to the MC Forum I am not aware of any clubs that you are thinking about. Mostly MC clubs.

Welcome to MCF! There are Monte Carlo clubs that cover all Monte's in general. But none specifically for just the 2002 Dale Sr cars like yours. Unfortunately, there's not many of them left to justify a club specific to them. On the other hand, that makes yours more rare. Way to go on the find!
