Alex,

I think his point is that none of those mentioned went to Barret/Jackson last year and spent 100k on a fully restored COPO or Hemi and tore it doen to make a race car. Today a racer would buy a 6cyl car and turn it into a 427 or Hemi car to race. When all those guys bought their cars they weren't 100k cars. In 1977 I bought my Max Wedge ready to race for $2,100.00.....don't thing you can do that now.
