2014 620 WHITE LABEL (14-011) BUILD JOURNAL

From our friends at camaro5.com.

PHOTOS & TEXT: ROBERT SCHWARZE

First time Camaro owner who took advantage of the GM 20% off oldest Camaro on the lot deal. Just happened to be a ’14 Saleen 620 WL 6MT (#14-011). Found this beauty out in the middle of Scottsboro. No blower, but honestly its a lotta car to handle after being in 4D sedans for the last 6 years. Tons of fun and gets a lot of looks.

Officer in the ARMY and work for the DoD and just happy to be here and back in a performance vehicle. Limited space in the garage, but I hope you enjoy!! Put a layer of sealant on it to keep it protected for the rest of winter. I’ll post more soon.
