Billy, you could be a Buzz Feed headline writer! Your write up made me research more about this guy. I can't find anything about him that would make him particularly unsavory. Can you elaborate?

I did the same, OC, and found stories of racism (frequently intentionally wrecking a black driver) and general dishonesty (taking a sponsor's money to buy his wife a fur coat rather than fix his car). Never would have looked if not for Billy's remark.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Eek - I promise I did not find those types of stories before I posted my comment!

I believe you. I had to word my search several different ways to find it myself.

Nice action picture of a 1970 Charger, border goes with it.not much of a fan of NASCAR, but easier to buy than a NHRA version of same cars. Only thing I can add would be if 71 season not sure why he would use that body style as 71 was a better race design, not as great as the newly banned Daytonas/Superbirds, I am not sure but wasn't 6 a Buddy Baker number that year?

His nickname came from his early days racing in the soapbox derby.

I thought it would be a Daytona or 500 remoded but back window and front pillars are wrong so it more inline with 70 body style. I am currently waiting for Sat's cars at Kissimmee, the 1971 43 RR tribute car built by Petty's Garage goes up. it would be 3rd Petty car if lucky
