COMMON QUESTIONS
What is a 2002 Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition Camaro?
​​
The 2002 Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition Camaro is a rare, limited-edition offering from Berger Chevrolet of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Crafted by GMMG Inc., a performance shop in Marietta, Georgia, this exclusive package boasts a radical wide-body design paired with significant engine upgrades. The concept was not original, taking inspiration from the GM show car of the era, commonly known as the 'Sunoco Camaro,' which featured a similar blue and gold color scheme to the iconic 1960s race car driven by Mark Donohue.​
This special Berger edition pays tribute to Dick Harrell, a legendary drag racer known as “Mr. Chevrolet,” who made his mark in the 1960s using Chevrolet vehicles.
Only 30 numbered cars were produced as part of this exclusive series. Today, it's regarded by many enthusiasts and experts—including author Matt Avery—as the “pinnacle of 4th-generation Camaro showroom-sourced performance.”
​
How many 2002 Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition Camaros were made?
A total of 35 wide-body Camaros were created by GMMG and are considered to be part of and related to the 2002 Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition production run.
After two prototypes (labeled PR1 & PR2), a production run of 30 cars (numbered #1-30) was created. These 32 vehicles are identified by the collection of automotive personality signatures located around the engine bay, including GMMG owner, Matt Murphy.
An additional prototype (identified as PR3 and built for Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and two related or 'non-program vehicles' (NPVs - a 'clay car' and convertible) were also built by the GMMG team for an employee and customer.

Related to the run is the initial GM Woodward Dream Cruise wide-body show car that served as the inspiration. Its whereabouts today are unknown.

Because of their rarity, any of the 35 cars are considered desirable. Within the run are several vehicles that obtain the highly sought-after unique '1 of 1' status.

Who signed under the engine bay of the 2002 Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition Camaros?
Each Berger Supercar Dick Harrell Edition Camaro features signatures under the hood, marking a special signing event held on May 27, 2004, at the GMMG shop in Marietta, Georgia. This gathering brought together key figures from the BSDEC program, including Matt Berger, Valerie Harrell, and Chevrolet insiders, to celebrate the legacy of Dick Harrell and the launch of these limited-production Camaros.
​
Signatures were placed on both strut tower braces, using black or silver permanent marker depending on the engine bay color. Attendees wore embroidered GMMG polo shirts, and a commemorative group photo was taken with PR-2, the second BSDEC prototype.
