Beautiful PK Race Cars built car. I think it ran GT/CA. I was told it has a newer engine package from the Cobra Jet cars.
Car has no roof or convertible top. Quite innovative but does it belong in S/S???

Sooooooo,, Jeff, what do YOU think about this car? You started this thread,so you must have a reason for doing it. Personally, I don't have a problem with it and I can see its a very nicely done piece. I'm hoping I get to see the car next year when I travel east..

1960-'66 Corvairs still in the Guide.

So a 94-96 Viper Roadster was available does this mean we can buy a super gas roadster, change the body, and go race Super Stock with a 340 low compression motor?

I'm fine with it in S/S because these cars were ran back in the day in the stock classes. Didn't Bruce Larson drive one of these before his Funny Car days?
Why I started the thread, I like threads that get a lot of conversation going. I figured this would create much conversation.

No -- for two reasons. 1) The Viper is listed in the Guide as a convertible, not a roadster. 2) A S/G chassis would not be SS legal. You can buy a Viper convertible, backhalf it like every other Super Stocker, and run it with the top up as required.

How about a 289 with 4 webers in regular SS? Is that even possible?

Yes, it has an aluminum body.

A real AC Cobra complete with aluminum body and original frame is worth as much as or more than a real Super Stock Hemi car. I'm surprised someone was willing to cut one up like that. I've seen those things wrecked hard bring over $300K.

I believe it is an approved repl body & chassis, factory duplicates.....not an original.....I think.....it is aluminum, not fg tho

Alan, I don't think anyone out there would be wounded to that extent. However, if Billy stumbled upon a neglected Cobra in suburban Millmont......who knows???
