Factory experimental

[MPR]

we were told BY FORD that they had already picked who was going to receive one and that our customer was not elidgible.

Chad, This statement simply is not true! The dealers were notified and all 50 cars were sold in 3 days. Like any limited production car the Cobra Jet will be a big hit with collectors. If your customer wants a CJ he can still buy one as a few are for sale by the original purchaser. If your customer wants a CJ, have him call me.

I'm just telling you what i was told by someone employed by Ford Racing. I will contact my customer and tell him that he may still be able to get one of these cars. Not sure if he has moved on to other projects or not. Send me a PM with your info

Thanks Chuck,
I thought something like this had come up before. Excellent details. I think you should write a book about the history of Stock and Super Stock.

So, 1250, or more, 69 Camaros with RPO L-72 is low production? As compared to 50 of the Fords sold? There were at least 25 times as many 69 Camaro L-72 equipped cars sold to the general public as there have been the new Fords. Interesting position.
