Just hook up the truck and trailer and go get it.......You won't be disappointed.......It'll be the nicest race car you own, by far....... If I remember correctly, it won best appearing car at Indy the first time it was there.......so, yes, it's that nice......

There were MANY!! John Baughman has one of the older ones. Call elite or Brotherton and they can probably tell you where the THREE they had went. There was also a white one at the Hemi Reunion that is owned by John ????. I will think of the last name later. Getting old does this.

I don't think any have been sold yet. I haven't heard of anyone buying them. I believe the one that sold to Norm Scott (the one that Dean drove) is for sale. I have done some small amount of work on the one that Dean drove and one of the ones that Brotherton has and the one that Bill Brooks owns and they are all very nice cars. The detail is way out there. But for my mone I think that Worfords car is a great deal I'd be all over that one if I was in that market for one.

Why does everyone who thinks if you go SS racing you have to be at the top of the heap? Correct me if I am wrong here but one only has to run under thier index to be in the bracket race. You do not have to run 1.25 under to get in, just under. At that point you have entered a bracket race. The only caveat is when you come across a car in the saem class during eliminations, then the faster car has the advantage becuase it becomes a heads up race. So how often does that occur? From what I have seen it is a not all that often and I am willking to bet with the EXTREMELY limited number of AH cars out there that it is a very very rare occurance.

Now class run offs are a different animal all together. That is where the pocket book and ego come into play.

As for me now way in heck I would go SS racing. If I had the money some of those guys had in their rigs I would run Comp again for sure.

FWIW having seen the SuperCuda and other cars from MR2 I think you would be hard pressed to find a better deal. I dont understand the fascination with trying to buy one of the West Virginia cars when from what I remember they were WAY more money than what the Warfords want and thier car is first class and runs very well. But hey it aint my money. If yo uare just looking to get into it Wendel's car seems like a decent deal that is worth looking into as well. I mean $75Kish for a T/K car that has been 8.80's seems ok as well.

To get in you either have to win class or be far enough under to qualify IF the field is full. You have to run .5 under to win class if you're the only one in class. If the field is not full you just have to run index to get in the eliminator.

I agree, heads-up runs in AH usually only come into effect at places like Indy and such. Most guys will take them off "high kill" in the eliminator anyway so they have a better chance of being consistent and not tearing things up.

I'd love to have an AH car, but it sure seems like an expensive way to go racing.

class winners do not automatically get in anymore,, the quickest 128 cars on the sheet are racing,, all else dnq'd

true you have to go .50 under to get the class win

at any race, points or national,,, you cannot dial slower than your index,,, thats all

Your right Fred, the last of the Cudas have not been run in about 4 or 5 years. Eddie and Mike concentrated on the small inch Chevy, 63 Corvetts, in comp. the last couple of years they raced. They have not raced since the middle of 2008. They are taking a break for lack of a better term.

from what I remember those cars were built long ago by Eddie and are far from what is being run today. they are near obsolete in comparison to the ones Mike has been building.
maybe Mike could add to this






exactly, don't get me wrong the West Virginia Cars are absolutely beautiful, but there is no way they work as well as the modern cars out there. Elite has those cars way overpriced Im sure anyways. There are quite a few other AH cars that would be a lot better to buy,

Is Marvel's car still for sale?
Howes car is for sale
Supercuda, by far the best deal
Wescotts old car, proven winner

take your pick!! Screw selling a car just build another garage!!! lol

or just buy the mountain hemi, Tank Crosswhites new car, Holtons 65, or gtea's aluminum 64 and go SS/BA racing thats what I would do.....
