Two out of three maybe.


Well it's definitely NOT Strega or Dago, as those will never get converted back anytime soon, so that only leaves Precious Metal. O.K., time to spill the beans, did Ron sell her yet?


Not sure if Ron sold here, but I'd bet it will be a stocker anyway. I'll bet Dago ends up a TF. If not, it will be languishing in a museum. IF Strega ever goes back to stock it won't be any time in the near future. I don't think it will ever happen.

Dago will never go back to stock. Her new owner, Frank Taylor, has already stated that after she is newly restored/remodded, that he intends to race her at Reno, win and then go after the 3km absolute speed record. After he gets the record, he said that Dago would be retired permanently at an air musuem. The speculation is that she will end up at NASM to go alongside her bretheren, Conquest 1.
