Has Mopar said they are going to complete the run? Hope so, I'm starting on a 5.7 for SSGT.
Mopar told me that they were going to finish the run. They said that they would be building more bodies in August and Roush will be completing the first 30 by September. I'm hoping to be going to Detriot in late Sept.

It's bound to happen with a few of them.
Plans tend to change, real life gets in the way etc.
How many of the original Dart/Barracuda's that were built in '68 soley for drag racing and come to find out years later didn't get used for that purpose?!

But I'm pretty sure that the people who were buying them weren't putting them up on blocks to sell later on as collector items, or selling them before they raced them. If something came up and they had to get out of racing, they either sold it to another racer or returned it back to the factory so another racer could continue the factory's racing. Back then the racers had NO idea of the increase in value their cars would eventually have. They bought and signed the contract to race the cars as the contract stated. If the racers knew how much more the cars were going to be worth I'm pretty sure my friend Jack would have kept his '67 Hemi Coronet, his '68 Hemi Dart, and his '69 and '70 AMX.....
Now a day, I think they have an idea that these cars will probably increase in value, and thats the problem I have, these cars were made to race, and to help bring back some interest to both the American auto industry, and drag racing. If people, here especially, don't see that the greed will eventually hurt our hobby, I should just sell my Cuda now and look into something else.
