ANY BOBBY ISSAC CLONES OUT THERE ? [ # 71]

[Ghoste]

I don't know if it's actually available but Chrysler was offering the 71 K&K diecast through Mopar Performance.  Part number P5153500.

Does that last picture's tailstripe say

CHARGER

DAYTONA




Don't know if I remember a paint scheme of his with that particular stripe lettering, or anyone else's for that matter.

Both those photos (Hyde and the model box) are from Talladega in '69.

First ever race for the Daytona then - makes a little more sense then...  if they built and/or brought the car to the track never having seen a street Daytona or another race Daytona, they might have assumed it would say "Charger Daytona"??    

It's interesting that the stripe never looked like that again though.

Was watching TV, In The Day. And they featured the 72 Martinville race and Bobby Isacc was racing a 70 Charger. And kicking butt leading untill the engine blew.

Cool, that footage could still be out there someplace.  There's a pic of him running a 70 in his biography running a short track.  Don't have the book in front of me at the moment but I think it may even be on dirt??
