This 1991 Camaro is 1 of 32 Factory built showroom stock racecars built for the Canadian GM Motorsport/Players Challenge racing series. This car was campaigned in the ‘91 and ‘92 seasons with one win, 3 top 5s, and pole position ultimately finishing 3rd in the ‘92 east/west shootout driven by Trevor Seibert and Barrie Ihaksi. It has the R7U (players series car) and 1LE RPO codes making it 1 of 32 built that year at the factory specifically for the series. These were factory built racecars and not available to the public. The car was later stripped of its race components post-1992 and transformed into a street car, only to be rediscovered at a garage sale in 2001. Adding a fascinating twist to its history, the story goes that the nice lady handling the garage sale stated that her son (the owner of the car) was “indisposed” (In jail) at the time for some “gun play” (armed robbery) involving the car. Also, some friends of hers were pressing her to scrap the car so they could use the engine for a ’55 Chev project. Luckily that didn’t happen.
It is still running the factory hand built and dynoed race engine from the ‘92 season (305, 5 speed). Included is a replica engine PROM like the ones used in the race series and the side exhaust is also an exact replica of the one provided by GM to the original teams. Livery is from the ‘92 season.

Check out the car in action during Round 3 at Race City Calgary and the East/West Shootout at Mosport in the 1992 season:
