I saw a red one just like the one in your link Argent C5 down here in Socal. It was at a shop for a couple days that specializes in LS motors. I was wondering what the hell it was and the guys told me that there was no VIN on the car and they weren't sure what it really was. It wasn't in very good shape, but then again it was no trailer queen

You can call MTI in Atlanta.... I'm sure they have some pictures since they've built/raced them back in the day...

Reese still has his. He brought it out of retirement and raced it a good bit over the past couple of years. Updated it a bit and put in a solid-roller 427. I don't think he drives it anymore though.
