PLEASE NOTE: This is a replica of "Sam Posey's" "NUMBER 76" '70 Challenger T/A, Trans Am Series race car..!Slightly different from the Sam Posey #77 Challenger.
This #76 car was the stablemate of Sam Posey's #77 Challenger. During the 1970 SCCA Trans-Am season. Posey raced the #77 car in the first five races of the season, but then switched to the #76 car for races at Donnybrooke, Mont-Tremnblant, Kent and Riverside.
As legend has it, the reason that Posey alternated between the two cars was because the Autodynamics team, in efforts to reduce weight, had left the #77 body in the acid bath a bit too long! Throughout the years, Posey would tell stories of how the body would barely last an entire race, and at the end of the race the team would have to weld the body back together! Fortunately the team got it right with this #76 car as it accounted for seven of the team's 18 points during the 1970 season which pushed them to a fourth place finish overall..!
This will be from the Hwy. 61 cars with new parts made to replicate this car as close as possible, some of the new parts made will be a roll cage, race seat, several engine pieces, wheels & tires and the cars chassis will be lowered. Of course it will have all of the other cool features from Hwy. 61. **Opening hood with real scissor type hinges, opening doors with real aspect ratio hinges & opening trunk, steerable front wheels working suspension, wired & plumbed engine compartment, carpet, seat belts, opening glove box, rotating drive shaft. Serial Number Plate in the trunk...LIMITED EDITION of 600 cars..! *** Retail price is $139.95...our order incentive pricing is $127.95 to help compensate the shipping cost..!
