Where is the green "Ratical Rat" COPO now?

Here are the pictures Bruce took....hope you don't mind that I brought them over here Bruce.

All I have to say is the car looks fantastic but now it's just another restored car. This car was amazing looking and had a lot of history in race form. I agree with Rick, that it's probably worth no more than now than is race trim. What a waste....IMO and apparently a lot of others minds too.

It sure looks better in Day 2 form.....that's for sure.

All the car needed was a light cleaning and the correct vintage slots in the rear and it would have looked just like it did back in the day.......sorry for the rant but the history is gone now. IMO

I took many pictures of this car when it was brought back to Columbus, and they were mostly posted here back in September of 2009. Here's one that was never posted.

That's Doug with his back to the camera. Jerry Heasley wrote a story about this car in one of his many &quot;Barn Find&quot; books.

Really was a shame to restore that car

agreed

I saw it Saturday and couldn't believe what they had done to it

At least the car is displayed with photos of how cool it USED to be. Where I would've spent an hour (at least!) looking at it in race livery, I wouldn't even stop to look at it now.
