Do you know what did.
	I was positive I had heard that one existed and I "thought" it was
the IMSA 90 but I guess not.  I'd be curious to hear what happened with it
though.
	BTW, congratulations on your ur-q restoration.  I just bought a
Black 83' myself (well, I am waiting for loan to come through on it so I
can buy it) that is totalled but I think very fixable for an every day
driver.
