This is a 1995 Chevy Camaro B4C Special Service Coupe. These were intended to be a highway patrol chase cars, but since they are very rare (250-400 made per year) and very fast, collectors try to get them. I had to go to 23 Chevrolet dealers before I found one willing to order a B4C for a private individual. Typically, these cars have automatic transmissions, A/C, power windows/locks, and not much else. This one has a 6 speed manual, power leather seats, Delco-Bose sound system, and every other thing I could find to add to its build sheet. It has 10,650 miles, and has been driven in the rain.

I have been busy for the last several years taking care of my mother who was bedridden with MS, so this car has been severely neglected for the last 4 or 5 years. (All I'd do with it is move it out of the way to use the shop for tire rotations, oil changes, etc. then lock it back up in the shop.) I lost my mother the day after Christmas last year.

With the holidays upon us, I've decided that staying extra busy is the best course of action. I installed all new lighting out in my shop (average of 80-100 footcandles now), some new electrical outlets and some new compressed air outlets. I had to pull this out to have room to work. Since it was out, and the day was nice, it was time for a bath. When I finished washing it, I figured that the most fun way to dry it off is to take it for a ride through the mountains! This is the first time it's left my property since 2005 (Stabil works!) It's not a mega-buck European import, but it's a very rare car and a helluva lot of fun to drive and it's just like new.

I thought I'd snap a quick pic for fun and post it up.

I borrowed a G-Tech from a friend and tried it. Taking it easy on the clutch and tires, I got 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, quarter mile in 14.0@100. Car and Driver claims a top speed of 155. I haven't tried it, but it's still accelerating pretty strong @128. Bear in mind, this is a 1995 model. That's a few years before performance really started on the upswing. The B4C Camaro was one of the fastest cars around with a moderate price tag back in its day.

Rawhyde, cool car. I never knew GM made it.

Do you have any pics of your shop. What did you use to run the air lines, black pipe or PVC?
