LAS VEGAS (CNN/Money) - If you missed your opportunity to buy a brand-new Chevrolet Camaro before General Motors stopped making them in 2002, here's your chance.

You'd better have some serious cash, though.

The reincarnation of a muscle-car era team that specialized in making high-performance Chevrolets has brought the reincarnation of the Camaro itself. This time, they're making their own Camaros from scratch with bodies designed with the help of a 22-year-old California car artist.

The look of the new Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe calls to mind the the 1969 Camaro, but this is a bigger, broader two-seat monster. The SuperCoupe is powered by a 700-horsepower V-8 engine.

In a nod to the good old days, the company lists the engine's displacement as 540 cubic inches. That's about 8.9 liters for those of you too young to remember when engine displacement was measured in cubic inches.

Perfect. This is the exact car that GM needs to build in order to avoid bankruptcy.

As much as I love 60's Camaros, and horsepower there is no way in hell I would pay $427k for that. Some people have more money than common sense.

I feel sorry for my Camaro brethren out there - this is way out of their price range.

Well, you could get 10 1969 Camero SS for the same price, and also 1/5 an Enzo (current street price is $2 million)
