Better rez pic showing lower body line.

There is the same 73 Petty Charger postcard on ebay. That original shows the lower body style line.

#22 goofy pedals... And a gas pedal dress up option? Anyone know what year and body style that gas pedal is from? Nichels cars used B Body pedals! EXCEPT DC-93 had truck pedals installed in late 1969 because Dan Gurney wanted more foot room for the Riverside test. They left them in because...

Bump!

Door bar of the 22 clone should be lower on sill with torsion bar reinforcement actually going over the top a little. It falls way short. Actually, the TB reinforcement looks like they used bar stock. A real one is purpose built from 3 pieces of metal. Look beyond the shifter ball of DC-93...

The Mecum write up states Allison ran 200 in the #22 during the August 69 Talladega test. Here's the truth, with photos: ONLY DC-93 was at that test. ALL the other Daytona were being converted from Charger 500s back at their respective race shops. (Rossi 22, Nichels 99, Owens 6, K&K 71) See...

Just noticed the doors are 1968 vintage. A top team like Mario Rossi got new cars every year from Nichels Engineering. Also found a pic showing the drooped front end.

bumper reinforcements shouldn't be there...

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

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

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

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...

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...

I’ll let these photos do the talking.

Anyone notice that the Petty bumper is 90 degrees to the ground in spite of the body rake? The Frank Warren bumper is stock. Petty pulled the BOTTOM of the bumper forward. That allowed the body template on the top to still fit. More air over the car, better drag number, better handling...
