I'm very meticulous when I do things , so what ever car I buy I'm gonna end up re painting and doing it to my likings . A roller with a good cage will work fine. The Camaro on racing junk looks like it would work, white with orange stripes,! I think he wants 5,500 rolling . Right now I can't do that , need to sell present car. Although this thread is very interesting . IHRA book on the way as well.

I also looked at that car. Nice piece from the pictures. That $5500 price is sans the good 12 bolt. Even at $8500 with the good rear, that's a good car. My wife even told me to get it, if I really thought I wanted it. Even she likes it.

Being a Pure Stock car, I don't have many close IHRA tracks. The combos in this part of the country, except for Jeff Ross Ohio series aren't real IHRA car friendly. Some, like Ohio Valley in Louisville, allow Crate stockers and SS/Production cars. Nothing else. Bowling Green won't allow IHRA cars at all. Here in Indiana it's a wasteland in regards to class racing, nobody does it. I class my Achieva in the IHRA FWD class but it has yet to sniff the index. Relatively speaking, I haven't spent any real money on it either.

Back to the Camaro. If you could find the money to swing it. If you are in proximity to a few IHRA tracks. Buying that car would not be a bad start.
