The Appeal
And now for something completely different. If you like the idea of a thunderous drag racer that you can drive home after tearing up the strip, look no further.
This stealthy Camaro began life as a 1999 Z28 before being not just breathed on but comprehensively transformed by John Webster of the renowned Webster Race Engineering business. It was built for the Street Eliminator race series and we are assured that it is fully road legal.
This car has run at 8.80 at Santa Pod mainly on its back wheels.
Discreetly finished in matt black, this evil-looking Camaro is not for the faint hearted. Once freshly MOT’d it looks ready to quite possibly blow your socks off. We envy the lucky buyer.

Summary
It seems unlikely that Chevrolet ever quite conceived that one of its Z28s would turn out like this. But we’re very glad that what Chevy failed to see, we very much can.
This is a remarkable machine, one that really can be driven to the track, raced, and then driven home. Its transformation was carefully curated by one of drag racing’s best and it presents in very good condition. A one-off opportunity, this is surely one enthusiasts will not want to miss.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you\'re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
