As for orange 69 that Scott W. built, here is the (short to medium) story. I bought it from a guy in AZ. that Scott sold it to. The guy in AZ, real nice guy, had some other cars and never really had a chance to drive or show the Camaro. Then, he had a real estate deal come up and so the Camaro was on the market and I snapped it up. The car was \ is stunning. Let's put it this way; I took it to 3 big - ISCA judged - shows. We netted 12 trophies from 3 shows. Everything from best interior to best paint to best in show, etc. The car ran good but had a small electrical problem when it got here that turned out to just be a faulty ignition switch. Once that was solved and we tuned the carb. for my sea level elevation, the car just rips. And the interior, wow, way over the top. On every ISCA score card the interior scored a 30 out of 30. The paint went 29, 30, 29.5. Just an unreal show car. Scott builds awesome stuff. OK, nuff said. Why did I sell it? Because I go through cars like octu-mom goes through diapers. I just cannot seem to hold onto one. There was nothing wrong with the ZR1, I just got bored. There was nothing wrong with the Scott W. Camaro, I just hit my typical 6 - 12 month clock on car ownership, heard from someone who REALLY wanted to buy it when I bought it, received a fair offer for it so off it goes to Maryland. A good deal for both parties. And, this guy will likley be buried in this car.

So, onto the next car. I am going to start motocrossing again so maybe that will help me extend my car ownership clock. We will see.

Take care Ron,
Chris

Great story Chris! I'll poke around the net a bit and see if I can locate something for you...
