GMMG Hot Rod Edition #2000 – SOLD

GMMG Hot Rod Edition #2000

Phase II / 435hp – 6 speed – 4:10 Posi – T-Tops

1 of 36 HRE’s built

August 8, 2015

The new LS1 spun a bearing…. another new block….

New LS1 with Forged pistons & rods & it will be right once & for all.

It just has to be right!

New motor vs. original motor discussion…………..

Some feel this is an issue.  You can look at it a number of different ways.

Over 25% of all the 550 GMMG’s do not have the orignal GM Engine they were born with.

GMMG removed the original factory motor & installed C5R 427’s & 454 engines in over 125 cars. 

Mike Carnahan (now with Vengeance Racing) & Ron Moen upgraded & built most of the GMMG motors & engine upgrades for GMMG.

Mike did the final work, test, tune & dyno work on HRE #2000.  He kept the engine just like GMMG would have done it.

I look at this as a huge plus…………  A GMMG with 39k total miles & over $20k in a new Mike Carnahan motor.

HRE #2000 is spot on & the best running GMMG I’ve owned.

Car was shipped to Mike Carnahan @ Vengeance because Parks couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t run.

The crank position sensor was finger tight instead of 22 foot pounds & the engine wouldn’t run.

Mike put 50 miles on – cut the oil filter apart – looked good.

He drove it more, reprogramed & Dyno’d the motor – cut oil filter apart again – OK

Mike said Thompson Motorsports built a great motor & eveything checks out 100%.

Finally after 3 motors & 16 months without the car I have some good news.

POINT – MIKE CARNAHAN IS THE ONLY PERSON I WILL EVER LET WORK ON MY GMMG MOTORS.

He knows the setup & tune becasue he built the GMMG motors originally.

Thanks Mike.

HRE #2000 will be joining Jim’s GMMG Collection

Jeff Gassen & I have been pals for a number of years now & have had a lot of fun chasing each other on the Power Tour with his Hot Rod Edition #2000.

I’ve always loved the Navy Blue Metallic & Red Stripe paint & hoped to someday own HRE #2000.  Today is my lucky day!

It’s a Phase 2 – 435 hp with line lock, cutout exhaust special wheels & center caps.  This car flies & there are many You Tube video’s of this car.

#2000 has been on three Power Tours & I will be driving it on the 2014 HRPT – Jeff was the original owner.

Just had to visit Jeff & HRE 2000.

The Vette (’58??) will be the untimate ‘pro-touring’.  Jeff has owend it forever & has re-done it a couple of times before.

What makes HRE #2000 special?

One of 36 HRE’s (plus 2 prototypes)

Only Navy Blue Metallic with Red

New Phase II / 435hp LS1  – (Tuned & Dyno’d by Mike Carnahan @ Vengeance Racing)

6 speed – 4:10 posi – T-Tops

New GMHP  LS 7 Clutch

FISKE Wheels (like the Dick Harrell’s)

Custom machined Hot Rod Edition Center Caps

New tires & brakes

Dynamat sound deadning

Hot Rod Edition red/black interior

Hurst Line Lock

Electronic Exhaust Cutout

Upgraded Stereo

Unlike the original owner I drive HRE 2000 nice & easy.

No burnouts, no rev-limiter shifts & low RPM’s.

This car looks & drives amazing – the NBM/red paint is 1 of 1

The FISKE wheels are spot on. (Just like the wide-body Dick Harrell wheels)
