Yes John, as when we talked a few weeks back with me suggesting you get that car back and run it again, I am glad to see that sparked some enthusiasm in your mind. Back to the spec you ran it in, it would easy be eligible for Production Muscle cars which I started to be the cheapest muscle car class to run in and because of the 100% vote rule the class has been going for some 14 years now! virtually unchanged.

A write-up in Auto Trader from when Cliff's Camaro was for sale in 2007. No mention of the Monaro, though.
