Buddy Baker 200 MPH Dodge Daytona

On March 24,1970, while testing at Talladega International Speedway, Stock car driver Buddy Baker, driving a Dodge Charger Daytona, became the first person to surpass the 200 MPH barrier on a closed course.
This model is in honor and memory of that historic event.

You are clearly the man of MOPAR models!

Thanks Mike!! I do love MOPAR!!

[@psycho-mc5iq]

absolutely amazing,WOW WOW

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thank You!!

[@jessicawells5145]

Nice build,lot of people don't know that this car started it's life as hot rod magazines HEMI 4speed charger 500,that was stolen stripped and later recovered to be built into a racer.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks for the info and for watching Jessica!

[@warrenchambers4819]

Seeing as how I have been a auto mechanic for over 35yrs and a mopar lover (I own a 69 superbee) I know just a little bit about these cars. Seeing this build I am amazed by the level of detail and accuracy. Drum brakes including springs at 1/25th scale????? And the dash!!!!All I can say is Wow! Well done sir.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thank you very much my friend!! I’m a Mopar lover myself! LOVE those SuperBees! Thanks for watching!

[@topreviewer5923]

One of the nicest models I’ve seen

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks!

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Oh I remember this build on SAE. But seeing it now on my TV. WOW! I just got SUPER Inspired. There is a NASCAR race car of that era I have been wanting to build. Looking at this just reactivated my want to build it. I got some ideas looking at this. Nice one, Mark.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks for the kind words my friend! My favorite Mopar era for sure!

Speaking of tires, has anyone used PPP tires? What are the o.d. and width in inches? I do a lot of parts swapping and 1/24 - 1/25 tires seem to be all over the place. Some are cartoonishly large and others seem undersized. I currently have asphalt modified projects underway. Thank you. Also, Mark, your work is phenomenal.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks Rod! I use 60s and 70s PPP tires and wheels on most of my era builds. Really good stuff! I have several sets of their modified tires. I think you'll like them.
