Allison Tribute Daytona #22 clone car goes for INSANE amount

[odcics2]

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 the pics!

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. Zoom in on the cage bar and check out where the TB reinforcement is located on the bar.

True. It's similar to someone dumping Twice that into a car, for say the Riddler Award. When you have "Excess Amounts", the Totals really mean very little. Truth be had, these cars will probably go sit somewhere, and just looked at occasionally...

Even #88 wasn't going for that kind of coin when it was for sale.

#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 it's a PITA to change, per Fred Schrandt, Chrysler Race Mechanic that did the swap.

DC-93 Brake and Clutch pedals, installed Dec.,1969.
