I guess we will find out in the spring.

It is really hard for a manufacturer to keep cars away from the speculators. I think that Chevrolet has done a very good job of getting the cars to racers. But, they can't do anything once the car leaves their custody. The story on the red car that sold is pretty sad (IMO).

Keep in mind that quite a few people purchased their cars to race outside of Stock and Super Stock too. So don't expect to see them all at NHRA/IHRA/ADRL events.

Also of note is the fact that very few of the Mustangs and Challengers are seeing much action compared to the numbers built.

I am sure that a lot of Chevrolet dealers tried to buy a COPO and were refused!

When you build 69 cars with 3 engine options, The odds go up for all of them getting to the track. Just my thoughts as they are trying to be flipped at outrageous prices.

Gump, whats the story on the red one that sold? I must not have heard it, or because my memory is getting bad, dont remember anything about it.
