Not sure why they are surprised, that’ll be what the sudden return and documentary were all about, I reckon. Like you say, marketing campaign.

When I first read about this car it was obvious that if any of it was true, then it was heavily embellished. The notion that a stock Hemi Challenger, and a heavily optioned one at that, in any way ruled the streets of Detroit in 1970 is laughable, it would have been a 13 second car at best in a sea of 11 and 10 second cars. Even as a one of one car, the hype has increased its value I’m sure.

Yep, sounds about right. I think it’s one of those. It’s a nice story, but that’s exactly what I think it is.
