Talladega Prototype

[nitrometal]

I received an interesting e-mail requesting photos and info on Petty's Talladega.  I asked him if I could post it here with his contact info and he said okay.  So, if you can help him out it would really help the museum out.  Looks like a cool museum to visit if you're ever in Tennessee, lots of Mopars!

These are both prototype talladegas any help would be greatly appreciated, what I need is a pic of the car in 1969 when the blue paint was on it,, so I can put it back in that day,,

Just for grins, does anyone know if his history is correct or at least viable?   

From the people that I met at the last reunion at Talladega someone here probably worked on it or knows a person that did.

I have not heard the blue paint story on the white Banjo T.    It could be true, but I have not seen pics of it.

Hi Nitro, you might search this site and ask the same questions..........bunch of good old boys hang out here... personally never heard of the blue prototype but it is possible while courting the King.......

Doug, You are killing me!  
Granny doesn't know whether to sh** or wind her watch when it come to old NASCAR topics.
That's goes double for just about everyone in the clique over there.
On the other hand, if the query relates to rythmic, circular, gesticulations, that may just be  the spot to hang out.
