Homologation Street Cars

Step 1: Look up Group A, B, and N homologation listings.

There is no Step 2.

Not really a Homologation special.

But RX7 GTU (S4) and GTUs (S5)

Has nobody mentioned the Audi Sport Quattro yet? Monte Aero Coupe is a good one I saw mentioned earlier. I also found the Calais Quad 442 W41? Never seen one of these before

Didn't they build some road-legal 962s?

Also, I see people have mentioned the Superbird, but not the Charger Daytona, or even the wing-less Charger 500.

NHRA always required a certain number of cars to be built and order able through the factory ordering system. You could register and street drive the early S/S stuff no problem. In fact I have ridden in a D/Dart and a thunderbolt before they became worth stupid money. (only crazy money at the time) Mind you they only did 1 thing good and that was go straight but they had everything on them to pass Texas inspection.

Almost forgot this beast. The Hurst Hemi Dart. Walk into a dealer with $4500 and you could take this beast home if the dealer knew how to press all of the right codes in the system.

Definitely the boring way to do this

Every hemi made in 65.

Btw...the Cobrajet, COPO, and whatever Chrysler calls their super stock drag package are not street cars. No vin numbers.

I know I shouldn't. I really know I shouldn't. For some unknown reason, every fiber in my being wants to find one of these and buy it

...and the later Achevia SCX

In reply to Will:

Yeah, Dauer made a road car out of the 962 race chassis after the car was no longer competitive I believe.

Then Porsche used the Dauer as the homoligation to re-enter it in Le Mans as a GT car and won again lol.

The Nissan R390 actually was built as a homologation in a similar manner to the the Porsche 917. Both companies built enough of the "road" cars to satisfy the requirements for the series then converted them into race cars. In the case of Porsche they tried to shortcut the build as road car rule and convert directly into race cars then got slapped down by the sanctioning body.

Apparently there were two R390s build for the street. One sits in Nissans museum the other was sold for an absurd amount of money (I'm sure) and never seen again.

Also I absolutely love the R390 and can't believe I forgot about it. The 90s are pretty much my favorite period for cars.

Awesome thread!!!

One thought I'm left with is how much more interesting NASCAR was when actual production cars still had some bearing on what got raced. Street cars and racecars both benefitted as a result.

Great stuff throughout the thread though--keep 'em coming!

That is so cool.

I think I remember JG racing one of those.

How about the Alfa 75 evolution also? I don't know if that's exactly the right name, but they are orange and had a body kit, stickers, etc.

190 Evo

You're no fun....

In reply to Appleseed:

I am pretty sure that the original 60's COPO cars had vin's.

The GM COPO's of the 60's/70's did, but they weren't homologation specials. None of the Super Stock specials had VIN's including the Dart, Barracuda, and AMX.

Actual homologation cars:

1970 Trans Am Javelin (100):

1970 Mark Donohue Javelin (2,501):

1970 AAR 'Cuda:

1970 Challenger T/A:

1967 Camaro Z/28 (and 68 and 69 as well):

1969 Mustang Boss 302 (and 70 as well):
