bbowser Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Nice one Clyde. It was this paint scheme Richard had on his car when I saw my first cup race in person at Dover. TV just didn't do it justice!
shafer Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) thanks this car is a buick body with the optitions for a pontiac or chevy nose. Being produced in 1983 it does have its short commings, it can be built in 5 minutes (partial snap together) it has no engine wheel wells, quarter windows, and decals are not all to scale , for example look at the size of the goodyear decal compaired to the moroso decal, the 43s on the door are big enough to fit the roof this model is crude but due to its age and being a 1983 paint scheme i wanted to include it in the collection, however it does look distorted parked between the racing pettys 82 version monogram, and the monogram legends series 84 model model cars have come a long way since 1983 Edited December 29, 2012 by shafer
EL Sid Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Any interest in the richard/kyle dual kit? I have one that i will probably not get too. also have die cast stuff id like to let go of..
Funkster Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I've been collecting Petty stuff for ever. I have a super rare 1/24 Chevy Caprice metal/plastic kit. That was the first time I seen Richard Petty race at Michigan Speedway. I've been think about trying to collect the Franklin mint cars also.
