Hopefully he will retire the car now and build a clone.

You have to be kidding Jim. Car is living up to it's potential. Can't start over now. He should wear that vin as a badge of honor.

Why retire it? It's a race car.

Michael, I'm pretty sure the Comella's is the only gennie that is racing now.

So it can become another boring show car, or worse yet a garage queen that no one ever get to look at? Was a race car from day one, and should be a race car until the Comellas decide different.

Ok. I was talking to Barton once and he did say that between all of his cars one of them was actually a genuine car. But I could be wrong and I can’t remember which.

Pancakes Cuda is an original, but his dart is the primary competitor now.

There are at least three more, two cuda's and a dart still racing. Belive the nose on Comella's car is a new carbon fiber one just installed last fall. Original fenders and hood tucked away in his shop.
