This post was interesting. Not sure what to do with my 80 2+2 with the ZZ2 crate engine. I could sell it and put it in memory lane. Purchased new in April 1980. But I have many friends who think I should race it on Sundays. Minimal tech problems here, just show up with street slicks and run. Might be fun next spring! Friends racing Mavericks and El Caminos in the 10th mile? Have very nice C10 short trailer puller. What do you think?

Bill having seen you and your car "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT, BUT JUST DON"T SELL IT" Bill all kidding aside that sounds like a good weekend of joy and you wouldn't sell the car that way. That sounds like a lot of fun to me and 1/10 mile shouldn't be too hard on the car or parts. That car is in way too nice of shape to sell for what these are going for lately! Harry
