I agree. But they were not crushed after use,like many test mules...If someone at a car show tells me they have a 421, special ordered GTO, I will call BULL on that...
I got to talk to Jim Wangers a couple of times, years ago. Wish I had read his book BEFORE the last time I talked to him, for the most pertinent questions. Wish I had been in Denver in either 95 or 96 when there was a POCI event there. Smokey Yunick AND John DeLorean were there, and spoke....
