I wonder how much he wants for the spare SD4 engine?

I was wondering that. At first look I thought it was simply a replica, but you seem to suggest otherwise?

Is that one of the original Pontiac Motorsports IMSA racecars that was designed by GM and made available to promote the Fiero in 1984?

The tube frame is not, but the body is the same one on the cover of the first issue of Pontiac Performance Plus. Red cover. Someone can pull up the image. I'm currently at work. The body has been repainted so the color does not match exactly, but I had many discussions with Casba and I know that John Callies confirmed the body origin. John is the one standing next to the car on teh back cover and was the Manager of Pontiac Motorsports at the time. I belive many of the engines and parts came from Paul Vanderley himself when Casba purchased spares.

Paul, If you buy it you'll have the fast back and notchie IMSA, they would look good together.

This thread just keeps getting more and more interesting by the day...
So will this car stay in the USA or is some crazy canuck going to grab it?

If you are referring to the curly haired guy in the picture, that is John Callies. I'll let him know...
