  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.
