Don't get me wrong, I am not dissing this car. I should have added to my original post that I would not pay much more for a 67 RO/WO car over the price of any other real 66/67 Hemi car. As far as I am concerned the only extra value on those cars are the price of the hood, no radio plate, and the bigger carbs.
The Plymouth dealer down the street from my Dodge dealership raced one of these cars new in 67. He also had a 62 & 63 Max wedge car and a 65 A990 car and was on the factory race program. He always said it was the slowest of all of his race cars.
In reference to some of the other comments in this thread:
You can pretty much bet that ANY low mileage Hemi is a 1/4 mile at a time just like mine. I don't think people discount these cars because of it because we all know that is what they were bought for new. None of these old race cars (including mine) have any "extra" value unless they were raced by a sucessful well known name. There were quite a few new cars bought back in the day to be race only. The real value in MY car is the fact that it is 1 of 11 built AND that it was never tubbed, cut, or had a roll bar. Back in the day that was pretty unusual. It is pretty obvious to me that the guy that bought it new was racing it in a stock class and "just another guy."
In defense of the Chevy guys, you have to remember that Chevrolet had a factory policy that removed them from participation in racing beginning in 1957. So, any "help" from the factory was "backdoor" from a secret group that was not sanctioned or funded by Chevy. If this was not the case there certainly would have been some Chevy factory package cars and they would have been a little more competitive. However, There is still no beating a well tuned Hemi cube for cube.
