Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 15:44:23 -0600 From: "Mel Silva" <melsilva@mindspring.com> Subject: Off Topic: FS American Iron Racing Car Hi guys, I'm just passing this along as a public service announcement. I received notice of a friend of mine in CA is selling his race car. This is THE car to buy if you want to win in the American Iron Series (a regional series in the SCCA). Guy's car is fast, well sorted and done right. See the ad for the car here: http://www.norcal-saac.org/listings/carpart.htm#CARS If you have ever thought of running a season in the SCCA for points and you want to win out of the box, here's your chance. This car is faster than my M3 (obligatory M3 content). Mel

Not sure what class. Guy's car is a well prepared car, and probably has the most wins of any American Iron car. I'm sure that Griggs maintained it quite well, but it's still had a lot of hard miles put on it. I'm not sure it's "worth" $30k. But of course race cars are never worth what much. My wife runs a Camaro in AI West, and is strongly anti-Ford. Whenever #40 comes up I like to toy with the idea of buying it just to get her a little riled up. It works.
