I think we are waiting for Tony O to post them on the Euronats web site Mr R, because all I can remember is Matt Snowball got a well deserved prize for the enormous amount of work he put into his Coronet R/T.

Oh, and Red got one for cheating death and arriving in one piece!

Mister Nillson (sp?) won best of the show with his Hemi Cuda rag top...I glimpsed the VIN, I'm not sure that it was the real deal, but it was very nice.

Matt and Mandie Hollingsworth was awarded the MMA Pick of the Nats award and he was also made a Mopar Euronats Hall of Fame inductee, I believe!

I didn't want to stick my neck out Mr R and look like a nob.

I thought the VIN identified it as a 383 car, but I couldn't be sure, I was being interviewed at the time! :shock:

Matching numbers or Clone, I think its fair to say as much work goes into putting them together, excluding chasing down matching part numbers.

If a Clone & the read deal were side by side & in similar condition, I would totally agree with you, the real deal should take the win hands down.

With the ludicrous high prices of some the fully matching numbers cars, its unlikely they would be brought out & most likely stuck in a museum or hidden in private collectors garage.

I appreciate there are the odd few that still use them, but still rare.

At least clones, gives people the chance to see what they really did look like in their fully glory.
