Ok if you guys are going to kill SP then I want to sell the camaro! 
Seriously Barb and I have discussed this quite a bit. So if you know 
anyone interested in 1983 Camaro National Champion car as well as multi 
time national trophy winner, send them my way.

I am real torn on this as it does not cost much sitting in the 
warehouse, but I have started it once this year, and ran it twice last 
year. Even beat the Evo boys on Sunday without driving for three or four 
years.

Just for fun here are the mods I wrote up this month while applying for 
Haggerty Insurance. Note this does not list various other spares.
