I think this is especially true because the people who are determining whether the proofs are sufficient are not lawyers, and probably have never read the statute. They are looking to see whether the vehicle seems collectable. If we write them a convincing letter, and attach loads of statistical charts, blah, blah, as exhibits, we might be able to convince them that a 1991 RS deserves the same treatment as a 1991 1LE (or even a Z28, for that matter).

Regardless of what the statute was intended to do, I think it can be done. In all honesty, these cars ARE collectable, and if the statute wasn't intended to allow plain jane camaros to be afforded collector status, than the statute is wrong. The legislators should've drafted a tighter statute.

I think this might be an easy thing to do, especially if Tim hears back from SEMA. A LOT of laws were poorly written and loopholes can be found, sort of like stopping at a stop sign.....
