wow ... IIRC that fire was built by GRD as a race car ... it was claimed to have some insane amount of horsepower ... but was never substantiated .... this is all based on my memory and may not be accurate ... I haven't heard anything about it in years.

Thats Dom's old car, GRD was amongst the first companies to start building Jbody stuff, way way back in the day. Dom, IIRC went on to work for RKSport. This car was going to be a big deal, back in like 1999-2000 and make big power. I've never heard another thing about it until this post.

Stole from Lenko's head in the classifieds. 3mm would be really tight.
"1mm oversize stainless steel swirl-polished sodium-filled valves (from Karo @ Car Customs)"

if i did some digging I bet I could find the only video that Dom released of that car...it was just a stupid little drive-by in a parking garage. He talked that car up a lot but some how never managed to back anything up. I'd say its going for $5k because it's not anything that special...

Dang this is way old school right here!!!!

of all the things listed only thing I find interesting is this "GM Racing Oil Pick up with modified oil relief passage "

It does not state a 2.3 oil system, so what exactly does that mean??

Ah yes, Dom's piece of work.... It's worth the $2500 starting bid but that's probably it. I doubt the damn thing would run even a 15 quarter mile...
