“The Intimidator” is a Richard Childress Racing (RCR) 1969 Series 3 Camaro limited edition vehicle that honors the
accomplishments of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. and his bond with RCR. To pay homage to the No. 3 Chevrolet made famous by Dale Earnhardt Sr., Richard Childress Racing joined forces with Total Performance Inc. to build the ’69 Series 3 Camaro. The car that crossed the auction block in Scottsdale was Serial No. 3 and the only one with the official title of “The Intimidator”. Only 50 total Series 3 Camaros will be built. The black, red and silver muscle car commemorates the dynamic relationship forged between RCR and Earnhardt, as well as the no-nonsense, hard-working attitude that defined this special team.
This RCR Series 3 Camaro came with two powerful engines. One is a 525 horsepower, all-aluminum, 427ci engine built by Keith Craft Motorsports. The 525 horsepower engine will allow the owner to enjoy the Series 3 on the street. The alternate engine is a powerhouse SB-2, 603 horsepower unit tuned at the RCR engine shop and used in the No. 3 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet driven by Earnhardt in the 2000 Daytona 500.
SPEED CHANNEL aired live segments from the Barrett-Jackson auction Jan. 15-20, 2008.
