Diecasts for today 9/16/21 - Winged wonders from Eagles Race (Universal Hobbies)

Here's the road version of the Charger Daytona. Eagles Race made a lot of colors and some had whitewalls. Then a kit version was issued under the Testors label.

They also released a number of racing versions - I only have two. Below is Bobby Allison's 1970 Daytona car, he placed third. It's reasonably accurate but I think the cubic inch numbers on the hood should be parallel to the car length, not angled.

According to sportskeeda.com: "In a closed-course test at Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR Hall of Famer Buddy Baker etched his name in stock car racing history. The Florence, South Carolina native clocked over 200 mph on a lap at the 2.66-mile track on March 24, 1970." Eagles Race probably tried to match the museum car - videos at the time of the course run don't depict the No. 88 on the left side of the car.
