By the way Great Looking Model. Have been collecting items to do this build myself.

Here's a picture from Facebook page "Dandy Dick Landy - Tribute to A Legend" that claims it's from 1974 Gatornationals. I guess the best thingto do would be to ask Robert Landy to see what he knows. Also Geoff Stunkard is working on a book titled "Landy's Dodges" that should be available in 2016 that should have info about this car one way or another.

 

I can honestly say I've never seen that picture before. But  then,,,,,,,I tend to stay in the 1971 and older stuff .

Cool find

I knew the pictures I had were of a tribute car because of the cut off switch above the tail light.

I had only seen the pictures of the tribute car and really didn't care if was an "actual" car he ran so this new picture is really cool. Thanks!

I had the kit and the Slixx decals and liked the car so I built it. lol

I'm not a rivet counter or that interested in exact replicas. Race cars change through out the year, I have had to replace or change decals on my own race car because they started peeling off or changed to a different manufacturer for a part. I don't think I have ever gone a complete racing season with the same exact decals on my car.

My dad has used 3 different hood scoops in one season, so which scoop was correct if you were to build a model of his car?

A picture of a race car is just that, a snap shot of the car at that moment in time. A fender gets dented, an area needs repainted, and the decals change. Some times colors change.

It's just fun to make a model of what you like.

Look at the tail lights, it's a '70 Challenger. Not the '70 Landy paint scheme, but a '70 car. I can't read the class designation over the number on the side glass, but I think it's an SS car based on the engine callouts on the hood scoop.
