I wonder if some of the responses on here are biased toward the Mopar because it is a class car and likely a friend to many on this site ? Politics was likely involved with the selection but as someone else mentioned, when was the last GM car selected at the Mopar Mile high race ?

Typical chevy guy.

If you don't think brand sponsorship has nothing to do with it wait for the Barret Jackson auction, it's sponsored by chevy and ford so they go to commercial every time a Mopar comes up for sale.

The Jones/Mr2 car was definitely an awesome piece of work. I'm a diehard Chrysler guy, but had to laugh when I looked this up.
