Was the above car a stick or auto? I'm thinkin it's a stick.
Atwell did/does have 2 LO cars. The stick car has some very large tires in the back, so I'm thinkin it is at least mini tubbed. I have pix of this car, I'll dig out & post. Point of interest on that car. It has 1968 Car Craft Race Team of the Year decals on the windows . Same ones & same location the Landy stick car had them. I tried buying the glass/ trading them to install back on the Landy stick car when I owned it, but he didn't want to part with them. Can't really blame him, if they're the real deal.
When I sold the Landy car, I wanted to keep a couple momentos from that car, because I knew I'd never own it again, so with permission of the next owner, I kept the woodgrain steering wheel tthat Dick used to hang onto, & the door panels.
All are on my current car. Kinda cool when I jump into it, & grab hold of that steering wheel. Quess it's a gotta be there scenario.
