No provisions for modern emission controls, no provisions for lock up torque converters, minimal or no modern crash protection devices ,high compression ratios that would never be certified for highway use....
In other words, Factory Experimental cars, not Stock Eliminator cars in the traditional sense.
Why this is so hard to understand for some, is beyond me.

Not to mention these cars were put on a Jenny Craig diet that would have made Haystacks Calhoun look like Twiggy.(Wow does that make me show my age).
