Nope, he said OVER 3000 units. All I can say is. . . damn. That's quite a few more frames in one year than many individual builders ever built in a lifetime. This would also explain why a large majority we see are early '70s.

So Dave you said that Waterford started building the Paramounts in '82. Did they continue to build them even when the Paramount name was sent to Japan? What were the numbers from US and Japan? How many got built at match and was Waterford still building them in the end?

Sorry if this is all a little OT, but I'd like to have some more info on the demise of one of the most historic American racing marquees. thanks, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB. CA
