In 1994 I took a tour of the race shops in Charlotte and saw this car in a parking lot beside the road. The number font, colors, and some of the contingency decals speak Petty . I have a picture of my model of it I built , and a picture of a picture I took with my daughter in front of it. What is the car? ARCA? are there any pictures other than mine of it?
I am just glad to see someone building cars that were not produced. It does look like a 442 to me , It will be an awesome addition to my petty collection . As was the round headlight monte carlo was which I created the Bristol '78 Petty ride. Remember none of the manufacturers are perfect remember the polar lights Petty torino with the crazy front fenders. Kudos to a company who is trying new things.
I took all 215 of my Petty models to Petty Fest , Saturday, even had some special visiters. Thad Moffit, Kyle Petty took his own pictures, Mark Petty tells me about his truck I built.
That car is owned by Maurice Petty, My car was a conversion to represent a 1937 Plymouth that Lee Raced I am taking all of my models to petty fest May 27
In the book cars of the king , you can see in the 1981 Buick regal section a photo of an employee unmasking a car , look closely at the rear quarter window, it is canted , not straight up and down , so I can only assume this is a mirada
Now at over 200 petty kits, I haven't posted the Fusions yet Its been a while since I posted Petty by Shafer Thread https://docs.google.com/document/d/1esQFdOnitqK-oOG8V91otOGOh2naGEH3jMGd_LXIgGs/edit?usp=sharing_________________
Don't take this wrong.I can see what you mean , however : I can assure you that I am not trying to do things for hand outs. I am a school teacher who puts some of his own money , time , and abilities into this project. I do this so children can find better choices for hobbies that will keep them safe and active. It also benefits my church in that it allows us to do more things for youth since our congregation is an older one. I am proud that over 45 models have been donated, with a big chunk coming directly from this forum.
