Dave; this quote by Larry Griffith in an article by Bob Frey touches on what happened to some of these cars. As previously noted, many others ended up being converted to race various other classes.
"I was racing a 1968 Hemi Dart, and when Chrysler came out with the Pro Stock program they asked a few of us if we would convert our cars to 1970 models. Melvin Yow and a few others, like me, agreed, and we went Pro Stock racing." After racing the newly converted car for about a year, Larry was rewarded with a new ride for 1971. "I got one of the new Dodge Demons and we raced that for a while."
