This is a 1983 Guldstrand GSS Camaro, modified new by legendary race car driver Dick Guldstrand at Guldstrand Motorsports. This is one of a handful ever made. I will do the best to tell you ever detail about this car that we (Guldstrand and I) have uncovered thus far. This car is in the process of being documented, and at the time of final sale will include a certificate of authenticity from Guldstrand Motorsports ensuring this car is the real thing. I have been in contact with Guldstrand, and have been informed this was the only Camaro they built that was sold new at Berger Chevrolet, near me in Grand Rapids, MI. These cars were available from mild to wild. Two press cars were fitted with superchargers, several with the stock 305 4bbl, and 2 with a 350 cubic inch GM crate engine. The best info I can find says this engine was rated at 249HP/329FT/LB. It still has the "HENCHO EN MEXICO" 4 bolt crate engine in the car, with the correct original 83 aluminum 4bbl intake manifold. This car was in the process of being converted to an automatic transmission, which is sitting in the car now. The clutch pedal, and cable are still in place. It is also fitted with the correct originally equipped EPSILON 15x8 mesh wheels, and I have all 4 centercaps as well. It is also equipped with a GM Performance parts 140 speedometer originally, which is retains. The primary mod, and claim to fame on these cars were the suspension modifications, which Guldstrand Motorsports is most known for. This car has all urethane bushings through out, from new, and retains them. These were tested and pulled .94g on the skidpad. Truly amazing, and rare, and in my opinion worthy of a restoration. This is a non running car, I do not know if the engine will run or not. There is some rust through the floorboard on the driver side, under the pedals. There is also a spot on the drivers A pillar, and above the drivers door. I have included pictures of these spots. I am selling this car as needing a full restoration, and it is not currently drive-able, but can be rolled on to trailer. I've rescued it, but cannot afford to restore it, and would hate to see it hot rodded because it is, to the best information I can find, the only 1983 Guldstrand Camaro that is known to still exist. All of the parts to restore the suspension are still available from Guldstrand, right off the shelf. Any questions, ask, and I will do my best to answer them, and as stated, when you take delivery this car will include a certificate of authenticity. The car is worth $1500 in parts quite easily, but as I said, I would like to see it restored and maintained, because it is a true piece of Camaro history, and one of, if not the rarest 3rd generation camaro.

The authentication is in progress, and I have given him all the information I have on the car. On Apr-16-13 at 17:19:10 PDT, seller added the following information: I want this car to go to a worthy home, only a few hundred dollars from reserve price. The car has great provenance and is undoubtedly the rarest 3rd gen Camaro, and is among the rarest of all Camaros.On Apr-23-13 at 22:24:04 PDT, seller added the following information:THE RESERVE IS MET AND THE CAR WILL SELL!!! Thank you to all the bidders!!! Also, I would like to add that if the buyer arranges shipping I will be willing to help load the vehicle and see it on it's way. Also, I am willing to accept other forms of payment, paypal, etc, but any fees must be paid by the buyer, and the money must be cleared in my bank account before the car is picked up. Thank you!
