RB,

I can guarantee that Lamar never drives the White COPO car with 480 miles on it. 480 miles is just too low for a 36 year old car if it is ever driven, except onto and off of the trailer.

Many others are in this category. The Troy Trepanier built cars I saw could never be driven and still be in the shape they are in either...

How about this: Could you imagine the guilt involved if you drove and totaled a one or two of a kind piece of irreplaceable history?

This is why I think a replica Cobra is much cooler for actually driving than an original.
