Wow thats almost too nice. I don't think you could just hop in and take a spin for fear of ruining the paint.

You can take it as you like, but I don't see images depicting war as the focus of our nation's pride. I see pride in the people who answered our nation's call.

Amen Brother,

A couple of points of clarification:

1. I commissioned world-famous Mickey Harris to paint the Camaro. He asked me what I had in mind and I told him that I wanted something that would honor all the men and women who sacrificed to ensure freedom......and he created what you see. He FAR surpassed my expectations and in my opinion, his talents as an artist cannot be described adequately in words. His artistry is simply stunning. The various conflicts are depicted starting on the right rear quarter panel -- with Washington crossing the Delaware River -- and scenes show the various wars and conflicts as well as Presidents and Leaders (such as MacArthur) and historic scenes such as the famous "kiss" in Times Square and people like "Rosie the Riveter" -- truly a history lesson........more can be seen in two parts on Youtube (search for American Pride Camaro) - as we produced a video that shows Mickey walking around the car - explaining each scene - and moreover - showing that he never sketched any scene on the car - rather he airbrushed "Freehand" as he looked at various pictures!! (simply amazing....)

Thank you, Mickey - for your incredible gift to the American People - and thank you to Greg Fodness (Mountain Muscle Cars) for providing the facility and final clear coating and finishing of this magnificent work of art.

I hope each of you will be able to see it in person as it tours this summer.

2. It did not race at Fayetteville. The pictures above show it on the track - the 82nd Airborne Choir performed in pre-race ceremonies - just simply incredible even with a race-track sound system and their singing of the Star Spangled Banner gave me chills and a few tears.........they performed with Veteran 1 (The Spymaster raises a ton of money for charity .....God Bless you!) and American Pride 'staged' next to them......and then we drove both cars down the track at about 50mph at the end of ceremonies.

Both of those cars are amazing. Hope to see a least one of them in Oshawa.

Don't take it as this is all that America has to be proud of.

I believe this is a tribute car to those that have served our country and simply says that we are proud of those men and women and the sacrifice they have made on behalf of America.

I know I am.

Well, after basically twisting FBODFATHER's arm

at the Camaros for Heroes event hosted by the Camaro South Club and being that we were at a WOUNDED WARRRIOR PROJECT fundrasier and the 82ND AIRBORNE DIVISION CHOIR asked, we convince him to do a HONOR PASS down the strip.................. ; IN MEMORY OF AMERICA'S FALLEN & HONOR THE MEN & WOMEN SERVING IN THE MILITARY

WAS NOT A RACE.................

And here they are returning to the vendor area.
