Allison Tribute Daytona #22 clone car goes for INSANE amount

[odcics2]

Pat McKinney built this Allison tribute car in the 90s.
It's not a real Nascar Daytona.
Never driven by Allison!
Notice it sits high. No drooped nose. No flair in front of the rear wheels.
No inside torsion bar adjuster on the left side.
Still has the stock driveshaft tunnel!
Wrong gauge cluster attachment.

Hey McKinney and his brother did the best they could back then with the knowledge they had.

From the back yard to the front at Tim Wellborns maybe...

Is this the same car??

Bobby also said he drove this pile which has been abusing eyes at auction for about a decade.

No, this #22 one is a modern build (last 5-6 years). Built from scratch in NC.

10 posts in 16 years, glad Greg could bring you out! LOL

For reference, here's pics of DC-93, the real #88 Daytona, showing the torsion bar adjuster on the floor and also the dashboard.
The dashboard lever was for wind tunnel testing to change the rake angle. The recorder buttons started and stopped the Lockheed recorder in the trunk of the car during high-speed track testing.

Note how dzus fasteners are used to hold the gauge cluster to the dashboard.

Note how the tall torsion bar reinforcement runs across the floor attaching to the bottom door cage bars on each side.

Another important feature is the bar from the upper pass side "A" pillar down to the torsion bar reinforcement.
It takes a bunch of little stuff to go over 200 mph.

$1,320,000 for a "Counterfeit"?

Best to know what you’re looking at before you buy.

Conduit trunk hinges?

Sure looks round to me.
Pat did a nice copy of the square 500/Daytona hinge, IMO.

Was this car some sort of NASCAR mopar back in the day?

Just not a wing car at some point?

 

[odcics2]

Maybe a local short track car, but not a top level racer!
