Ask Rick Hendrick are cars worth it.....He's bought a few for over a million...

When Strickler had it, it didn't have a Roll Bar . I don't think it is original and not worth that kind of money. Some of this cloning is getting out of hand. If it was work that why isn't it at Barrett-Jackson instead of ebay.

Didnt this car run in Stock eliminator in the last 10 years?And you think todays stockers are pricey!!!LOL

Would it qualify at Indy?

ss wannabee · 08-23-2013, 09:19 AM

Yes, it ran in Stock in recent years...maybe as D or E stick? Wonder if that
motor's still in it?

Yeah, I HATE bad spelling too...isn't that Jr. Stock book full of mistakes as well..
Just AWFUL! HOW can you not spell General Kinetics correctly?

Hate "cloning" too...Should be the "real" deal...

I have seen the car close up it's not a clone ran in Div 1 for a lot of years. The owner still races another Camaro now.

To see some interesting cars that will be coming up for auction the end of September go to vanderbrinkauctions.com.
One is a 1958 Chevrolet Cameo pick-up with 1 mile on it.
Another is a 1978 Corvette Silver anniversary edition with 4 miles on it.

Guys, I think you are looking at this in the wrong light ? The person that will buy this is a Jay Leno, Rick Hendrick, Reggie Jackson or a Big collector type guy !!! Not some guy who has to get a bank loan ??? This car is a piece of History and if you are really rich & can afford it who care's !!! Yes, it has always been a race car & was totally redone... Why give it away , if it's only going to increase in Value...The difference between the Rich & us is the price of their Toys .... This car is Awesome ... The big Guys like E-bay & Jackson take a lot of the profits ....

yes it ran in div 1. the guys name is Jerry McNeish to the best that i can recall he still owns it.

This car is indeed a important piece of drag racing history having won the 1968 NHRA Super Stock World Championship and except for some safety considerations has been faithfully restored to its '68 configuration. To the person with the right interest and budget of course it's "worth it". A Ferrari sold at auction for $27.5 Million this past weekend, was it worth it? Guess it was since that what someone paid.
