I saw Spiro's "new" 69' Camaro at the Nov 2007 Chevy Vette Fest....

I gather this wrecked car was even newer than that one.....

Curious to read more about the man and how he might fund some an expensive endeavour ???????

yes this was his newest car.... a twin turbo car. all his cars are black w/ yellow stripes and are flawless. and as far as funding.......pappas trucking....but im sure he has some backers. along with the passing of his wife too. about 20 years ago he was a very heavy hitter in the street racing scene.
