No but it was dealer available.....albeit for 1 day till it sold out....
We walked into the dealer filled out the papers they faxed em in and we waited. No different than any other special order car.
No secret handshakes neccesary....contrary to public misperception.....we are nobodys....we got one...I know several other people that not only are nobodys but dont even know what to do with them now that they have them, 1 is going to build a street legal...lights even in the dome and visors...bracket terror...his car his choice, I kind like it.
I think what he was saying is there is NOTHING on the DP car anyone cant walk into a dealer and order from the Parts counter. And a street challenger as you call it can be gutted down and done up just as easy...how many other cars are in stock that had the same type of packages ? Like the RA cars ? Etc..Maybe Im wrong...but I think thats what hes saying....
How is this any different from the Old Stock packages, the Thunderbolts, the Lightweights etc ? Or later Ram Air dealer option packages, etc...It isnt....by 68 it was known as a Package car and they ended up in their own class...
But where does the Thunderbolt run now ?
Obvioulsy the later AFX cars with hilborn etc, started....in stock ?.....until someone...I dont have my refrence material here so I dont want to misquote... saw how they filled the stands....then he said "they can bring those funny cars" Can somone confirm this quote...its been bugging me...
But thats what I was saying about a positive evolution out of what a lot of people are so obviously upset about....look at it instead as an opportunity...to advance racing.
Im not disagreeing...not at all, I just think....I could be wrong I know what he is saying, he also has a Factory "Lightweight" car....sooo
So what if a Dealer builds enough like say 50+ and sells em like the Yenko's.....hell add a super while theyre at it....Id do it if a) I was a dealer and b) Had a spare 5 mil or so....take 10 stash em and those would be my kids "legacy"
Anyone can build one Hell Doug Duell did it BEFORE they were hitting....With the same parts we use....So its not a lack of avaiablity....
Dont flame I understand, but I also think I understand Hemidup
