Does anyone make either a 1/25 or 1/24 Dodge Daytona Nascar version?
Thanks
Mike

The only dedicated NASCAR version was the one kitted by MPC in the early 70s. This kit is exceptionally rare, extremely difficult to find, and ungodly expensive when found (unless you attempt to restore a built-up).

Revell-Monogram and Pro-Modeler both released a street version which is a very nice kit, but does not contain the parts necessary to do a NASCAR version.

Best bet is to find a Polar Lights Charger kit (preferred) or (less preferred) an OLD Johan Superbird kit to get the NASCAR specific parts and bash it with the body from the newer Revell/Pro-Modeler release. Biggest challenge will be the tweaks to the stock body to get a NASCAR version - if nothing else the front wheel wells will require SIGNIFICANT hogging out as the Daytona's nose was HUGGING the ground.

Sorry there's not better news.

On the 1:43 front - Starter made some very nice (curbside) Daytona kits.

Sorry there's not much help there.
