Bobby Allison's 1979 Daytona 500 Car: The Race That Changed NASCAR Forever! (Unrestored Survivor)

What happens here

The trunk of the race car is opened, revealing a utilitarian interior finished with 'oxide primer' and the remnants of original weather stripping, now crumbled due to age. This detail is unusual for a race car, as weather stripping was typically removed. The interior dashboard is displayed, featuring a prominent 'BME Bud Moore Engineering' sticker and cutouts for gauges. Modifications around the shifter area on the floor pan suggest either repairs or adjustments made to suit different drivers or racing conditions throughout the car's active life.

Goal: Observe interior and rear body details for authenticity.
