Do you have a pic of the original?
Those old ads teach me more stuff every day. I didn't even know there WAS a 1970 Dodge Daytona.
Actually, it was accomplished in the spring of 1970, with a '69 Daytona. BTW, the number was #88 on his car. I was there.
I had just got back from my 2nd tour of duty in Vietnam. I was the deployed at an Air Base in Florida and went to both the Daytona 500 in February of 1970, as well as the tests at Talladega in March. By growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC, I was always involved with NASCAR. Being on a pit crew in '64, I knew most of the people in that circle. I kept in close contact with many of the car builders of that time (Ray Fox, Cotton Owens, Holman-Moody, etc) and ...luckily...found out about these tests. I was in the military at that time and not working for Chrysler or Goodyear or anybody, except Uncle Sam.

Daytona, yes. I was in the infield during the time those Daytona's and Superbird's were flying. Talladega--Unfortunately, No.
