Where Are The Street Versions?

Street versions of the COPO, Cobra Jet and the drag-race Challenger
with 6-pack-style hood (maybe slap on some AAR stickers = All American
Racer? -- I know, I know that designation was a 'Cuda and a road
racer, but the acronym could work for a drag racer, and Challenger
too.) are needed, now!

A friend i've mine did an incredible job with his street legal CJ
clone... Article is a bit dated.. he's added a blower and has run at
least a 10.83@125 MPH...

I believe a lot of the CJ parts are actually available from Ford
Racing...

Nice, very nice! Though, I think a less "decaled" version would be
cool, with just some discrete CJ badges in the grill and on the
fenders.

Which makes me wonder why Ford just doesn't put one together.

On the decals... I think if you seen it in person you might change
your mind... I will admit, I really dislike clones and "tribute"
cars... But I LOVE this one!
