It’s been a milestone year for Berger Chevrolet. The long-standing, performance-focused dealership is celebrating 100 years in business, and this past weekend marked their final 25th Annual All GM Car Show.


As part of the festivities, history and horsepower collided with the debut of not one, but two legendary high-performance Camaros tied to Berger’s storied past: a pair of 4th-gen Supercar Camaros - Dick Harrell Editions 24 and 11.


Both had been hidden from the public eye for over two decades — and both made dramatic returns during the Saturday morning reveals, which I had the honor of hosting in front of a captivated crowd.


Behind the Blue: The Story of Supercar 24


Car 24 carries a story just as bold as its Penske Blue paint. Originally ordered by one of the largest GMMG collectors in North Carolina, it was built to be the only Penske Blue Dick Harrell Camaro ever produced from the numbered run, paying tribute to both the GM showcar of the era and the iconic 24 Penske Camaros of the late 1960s, made legendary by racer Mark Donohue.


Interestingly, this Camaro didn’t start out life looking like the powerhouse it is today. It originally rolled off the production line as a Sebring Silver Metallic B4C special service package — a rather unassuming setup featuring an automatic transmission, ASR, leather interior, and a Monsoon stereo system, with a modest MSRP of just $27,390. It was first delivered to Henderson Chevrolet in Las Vegas before being transferred to Berger, where it was sent to GMMG for the full Dick Harrell package.

Then, the project stalled. When GMMG closed its doors, the car returned to its owner as nothing more than a bare shell — and that’s how it stayed for years. Fast forward to October 2024, when its new owner stepped in, purchasing the unfinished Camaro and turning to Bruce and the Hawks Motorsports team to finally bring the vision to life. Over the course of a year, they meticulously reimagined the build, ensuring it would be ready to debut in time for Berger’s centennial celebration.

Today, the car is a modern showstopper. Under the hood, it boasts a Phase 4XR package with an LS7 427ci engine delivering a staggering 750 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent through a Magnum-F six-speed transmission to a Strange 12-bolt rear end with 4.10 gears, while a chromoly roll cage, Viking coilovers, and six-piston Baer brakes ensure that the car performs as good as it looks. Custom Fikse Profil 13 wheels and yellow Dick Harrell stripes complete the transformation.


With a final build cost of $177,504.99, this Camaro is nothing short of a rolling tribute to Berger’s performance legacy.




Supercar 11: Born to Fly

If Car 24’s story is one of rebirth, then Car 11 is the tale of a survivor. Built in April 2006, this Camaro started out as a Rally Red Phase 1 with 400 horsepower, an automatic transmission, T-tops, and a base option list that gave it an MSRP of just $25,620 — but once GMMG got involved, the sticker price climbed to $86,086.


Later, the car was purchased by the same North Carolina collector (who owned Car 24) and sent back to GMMG for a hardtop conversion. Unfortunately, when GMMG shuttered operations, the project was abandoned midstream. The Camaro was stripped of its seats, wheels, gauges, and other key components, and it sat untouched for years, tucked away in a body shop attached to a church in rural North Carolina.

That chapter came to an end in April 2025, when Bruce Hawkins stepped in to purchase the car with a renewed vigor to spearhead a full and total overhaul. His vision for 11 is ambitious and exciting: a radical reimagining inspired by the 1967 Yenko “Superman” Camaro.


Once complete, the car will be finished in Nantucket Blue, paired with a Deluxe 1967 Red Leather interior. It will be powered by an LS7 427ci engine producing 750 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque, backed by a Magnum-F six-speed transmission.


Custom Fikse Profil 15 wheels with Superman logo caps, a red powder-coated chromoly cage, and custom Dick Harrell stripes with red accents will make it impossible to mistake. Add in Baer brakes with DH logos, and this car will not only perform at the highest level but also stand out as a one-of-a-kind tribute build.


Its debut is still to come, but one thing is certain: when 11 finally takes the stage, it will be nothing short of spectacular.


To the next 100: Far From Over


Two Camaros. Two incredible stories. Both forever tied to the legacy of Berger Chevrolet and its century-long passion for high performance.


As we celebrated 100 years of Berger, it felt fitting that the Penske-inspired Supercar 24 and the soon-to-be Superman Supercar 11 took center stage. Here’s to the past, the present, and the incredible Berger Camaro builds still to come.
