New PETTY Superbird

No wing cars will ever be big sellers.  Not in any circumstances or era.  They perform well but the goofy looks are too objectionable for most buyers.  It was true 40 years ago and it's true now.

That is true. The Cobalt ss didn't sell to well wieht the dorky wing on it either.

Was that the fault of the wing though?

I don't think they look bad and would drive one but for over $90,000 I would much rather buy a real wing car

I assume that price is for the Level Cross built Petty Signature version, not the basic conversion:

The kit starts at about $37K...

Or about $7500 to $10000 for the basic conversion parts...

It didn't help it any, that's for sure

I had to get my Canadian Built Challenger (2008) from North Carolina....

Engine was from Mexico, transmission from Germany.

I forgot about the transmission being German...
