They are a BIG part of the SS history and current show. Other brands might also need this to become affordable.
This seems to be a common sense rule much along the line of aftermarket heads, al heads, aftermarket carbs. They are not available to purchase. THE WEIGHT of the car still would enforced as the same....SS and S need these cars for the show.
Thanks
