you are correct about the ordering process and those hoods and call outs on them being bold, I just thought going through fleet sales to get them built was a similar touch to the COPO cars. The road test where Ronnie Sox ran 12.91 was in super stock and drag illustrated, Roland recently reprinted the article in Mopar Muscle or Hot Rod , I'm not sure but I will look tonight when I get home from work. All the big 3 had special cars they gave the press to test and write about and were treated to the best engine assembly possible and max tuning. You know nobody wants to hear their latest hot rod in a 4 wheel slug. In 71 Car Craft did a special road test of a ss454 ls5 vs a 71rr 440 6bbl, added headers, slicks tuning , cam, etc. If they did thing's like that you know the manufacturers had a field day plotting stuff. I do know that my 1969 six pack super bee ran 13.60 2 weeks after I bought it with no changes of any kind, and after I put a set of 7inch cheater slicks on it it ran 12.9 all day since I didn't have to baby it to get it off the line. I got it down to 12.6 with headers and mechanical linkage for the six pack. other wise it was pure stock. What I did to it was alot like most guys without much money did to their cars. I loved that car, It was stolen from where I worked in 1970 and I have had lots muscle cars since but nothing inculding my 68 Hemi Road Runner ever compared to that big red Dodge.
