The most valuable/desirable Stock and Super Stockers
Since just about everyone is done for the year and some of you are snowed in. Here is something for you to think about. I'd like some input for a future National Dragster feature.
What are some of the most valuable cars currently racing? By that, I don't mean who has spent the most money. I'd like some input using the following criteria: Rarity Collectability Provenance (history and race wins, etc.) Desirability Originality (no clones or re-bodies) I'd also want to know if the car is still being raced and how often. Some examples that stand out off the top of my head would be Ben Wenzel's '67 Z-28, Dallas Kelly's Thunderbolt, and (I believe) Richie Pauley's '68 Cobra Jet. What else ya got? |

Re: The most valuable/desirable Stock and Super Stockers
Bobby Warren's nationals winning Nova resides in my hometown, albeit now a back-halfed bracket car. I want to buy it and restore it, just gotta wait for the guy to want to sell, hell I'd be happy to take it as a shell and start from there, even if it took a decade to restore!
