Jeg jr. driving a MOPAR STOCKER - Page 3

Well, I already admittied to nit-picking, if you read my earlier posts.... HOWEVER, I am often told that I cannot put a 340 (for Stock Eliminator) in my '72 Valiant 4-door since it's NOT IN THE CLASSIFICATION GUIDE, although any small block engine could be ordered in any chassis in 1972, according to three reference books I have.:.

These ersatz "Challengers" aren't in there, either...

But, I hope they are soon; I want badly, to see them run!!!

Obviously these cars and drivetrains will make it to the class guide. They're on my order form with correct part numbers.

Very cool but does it ever look bulky with 15" wheels.
Any idea what the weight is? I've seen a road test on a street version where it was a whopping 4100 lbs.
I think with a 360 it would probably fit down to U/SA.

Jeff,
Thanks for the information.
Any idea of what the "sticker" price will be for one of these?

That's the key statement here, Bill...YOU are not an automaker. The factory could put whatever they wanted on this car - a flux capacitor, maybe - and it would STILL be a factory-built vehicle, and therefore eligible to be put in the classification guide. Doesn't matter what engine, what hood scoop, or what ashtray. I don't know how much simpler it can be.

$36,995. Any drivetrain. Buyer must be approved.
Really, it's the most exciting package offered by an OEM in 40+ years!

What does roller rear end mean? no axles or ring& pinion?

Jeff Teuton · 10-21-2008, 03:05 PM

The cars will weigh 3100 with the two hemi engines, and 3200 with the 360. The cars are through dealer parts departments and will be billed to the dealer. That is a new twist.

Who gets the commision, parts guy or salesman ?
