Don't lose your minds just yet. I don't think it is a real Drag Pak. Listing said it has a salvage title, kind of hard to get without a VIN. It looks like the mockup cars Mr. Norm's was trying to sell around here. Engine on a pallet missing heads and intake if it even was a DP motor. Listing says it has Mr. Norm's chassis components. I wonder how those would work on a Drag Pak suspension? It probably still has the factory rear and suspension under it. If it was a real DP wouldn't you have at least one underhood photo showing the DP tag on the strut tower? OK now back to work.

You are correct. I relistened to audio of auction and they stated drag pak but stated no title and prepped by Mr Norms

See if this one is correct. Sold for $35

Yeah that one looks right. It has all the hard to obtain parts like the cyl. heads, intake, throttle body, and the air pan. Notice the tag on pass. side shock tower showing it's origin. 35k seems like a fair price for it. List was 36k when new. I think too many people bought them and once they got it home found out just how much time and money were going to be needed to have a competitive version. Others bought them hoping to use them as a 401k plan and that hasn't worked out too well yet. The sad part is that Larry Griffith's 2009 car #002 went through Mecum not long ago for like 35-36k and that was a fully working car with actual competition history. That may keep the price down for a while.
