1999 Hugger Orange Convert - 'HOSS' - GMMG

Post by daytonajim »

It's a 1999 not 2000 - I need to figure out how to change heading.

In 1999 GM built a handful of 99 Hugger Orange Converts ('HOSS") to test out bringing Hugger Orange back to the Camaro.

This is one of them

Understand GMMG didn't do much to this car BUT it does have a GMMG Brass Door Tag

It went to GMMG & Matt did a couple of things to the motor (345HP) & put a GMMG door tag on it, Berger decal on airbox.

Has factory wheels, basically just an exhaust, hood 345HP stripe & maybe a motor tune.

I actually delivered the car for Matt Murphy to the owner in NC around 2009. I took photos @ Martinsville.

Nice car - 553 miles as of March 2021

This photo was @ GMMG just before I delivered it. I have more delivery photos back in WI.[/b]
