C Prepared autocrosser? SCCA club racer? Historic entry?

This third-generation Camaro sports the usual for SCCA GT1, IMSA GTO or C Prepared autocrossing: tube chassis, fiberglass bodywork and room for the V8 of your dreams.

From the ad:

This tube-chassied, fiberglass-bodied race car is your basic “basket case.” The front clip was removed, although the upper and lower control arms, 13” diameter vented rotor disc brakes and coil-overs remain. Most of the original tin work also remains.

The package also includes a quick-change rear end, alloy wheels and some spare bodywork.

The car is in Moorpark, California, so a little northwest of L.A. Price is $3000 obo.

Save the Camaros, folks.

Someone needs to buy this for at least the wheels.

That's the first thought that went through my head.

Just noticed the SCCA Pro Racing field sticker. Does this chassis have some Trans-Am history?

I asked the seller about the wheels on the Camaro. No clue on the source but I was told that they look like legit two-piece wheels.

Here’s a close-up photo.

Those look an awful lot like Gottis to me.

Need: 0/10

I absolutely do not need another basket case in my life. But do I want it? Oh god yes.
