Hi! I'm a new member with 3 1/2 wings

[marty42]

I just joined.  My son is Pettybird (Doug) and told me about this site.  I have a Daytona clone - the Marty Robbins #42, two superbirds and a Canadian Daytona - not running.  Write me and let me know who you are.  Carol

Hi, my name is Bryan. My wife & I have a funny looking pointy nosed purple Charger with a very large towel rack on the rear. We built a Daytona clone from a '70 Charger 500. We drove from Seattle to Talladega for the '99 Areo Reunion in the car.

Hey Doug.  Did you happen to get a picture of you walking around Carlisle with our shirt on inside out??

Welcome to the site. I've been staring at your two Superbirds at various shows now for over 20 years.

[nascarxx29]

Welcome to the board.I remember seeing your 2 superbirds at one of the meets.And know of the canadian daytona.Nice 42 Marty Robbins replica didnt Svec brothers have car like that also.looks familar to me .I think they used a 69 charger 500 or parts from 69 charger 500 to build it

[BigBlockSam]

Howdy  Carol     very nice cars.

Mike and Gary Svec built the car, yes--we bought it from Mike so that he could buy a Superbird project.


The car has Mike Svec's original nose cone from his black (painted from R4) car, a real wing, latch tray, fender scoop set, decklid filler panel/hinges and a 500 plug/trim from (I think) former racer Buzz Miller.  They fabricated Z brackets and the lower valance, and there are no internals in the nose.  The car is a real H code 383HP R4 car.

[69_500]

So what nose cone does Mike's car have on it currently then? I've seen his car at many shows, but not ever really looked at it that closely.

[nascarxx29]

I remember a long while back at the nats or a meet.It was painted blackand must have used 70 1/4s with large marker lights to restore.Didnt recall anything wrong with nose on it. I had seen the album and had the racing champs 42 daytona.Never seen much anything else collectible in a daytona on Marty Robbins.But went into a local antique store.And found a poster where he preformed sometime back in Pitman NJ

[pettybird]

Mike's car has an NOS nose.  The quarters are NOS, too--nice thing about restoring your car in 1985 is the parts were still there.


There's a 1:43 scale Marty car, too, and a postcard with him sitting on the hood with his guitar.  I don't know of anything else.  If anyone DOES know of something else, please let us know!

We also have a record with him and his 73/4 Charger--at least it helps explain the paint

Yea I was gonna say "I see Jackie!"

[69_500]

I was wondering if it had an NOS nose on it. I knew he had done his car several years ago, and those pieces weren't exactly easy to come by even in 1985.

Although who is to say that they didn't make 500 additional nose cones along with the 500 that were on the origional cars? I know they would have made some for replacement parts, but what figure do you suppose was deemed necesarry?

Welcome.Would like to see some pics of that Canadian daytona.
