Anyone else get the e-mail from Salvino's announcing the release of their white #11 Petty Enterprises Charger, driven by "Bobby Allison"? Got a chuckle out of that one!

I saw the 'Bobby Allison'......I do not recall the era?!?!?!?!?!??!!?
The $45 hit me in the face.

I saw that as well I am no expert but if I remember correctly this is the era when Allison and Petty were tearing each other up trying to beat the other one, and a lot of strong emotions where involved... i could see Petty trying to buy a car and fire Allison but not put him in one. I may be totally wrong on all this I am sure someone here can clear up all the confusion for me.

You guys get emails from them? I'm in the builders club and I don't think I've ever received an email telling me what the next kit is. I have to check the website to find out what they are sending me each month.

I get emails from them because I am a Dealer

I'm NOT in the Builder's club, so I'm not sure why I get e-mails.

Buddy Baker drove the white team car for the Pettys in 1971. Won the 1971 Rebel 400 and the World 600 (car was red by now) for them in 1972.

Said something to the effect of “has the rare flat hood”…

The flat hood is a small selling point to me.....I have one of the MPC flat hood so IF I bought one of the new kits, that's why.

Most of us don't have the MPC kit so yes, it's a selling point.
I already have a plan for it and the corrected rear bumper for the 2+2 will be put to very good use as well.

I think you can chalk it up to the sender of email not being an early 70's Nascar enthusiest, like most of us on here. No biggie, we are a proud minority.

They also have a contract with Petty & Dodge to do so many kits.
(Same goes with Hendrick and Chevy.)

The "Bobby Allison" just may be a Typo.

Bobby Allison did drive a 71 dodge in 71. He started out running a 70 Charger ("plain jane" Charger) #12 out of his own shops at the 71 Daytona 500, and by the 71 Rebel 500 was running a 71 Charger, (Maybe the 70 re-skinned). After he went with Holman-Moody driving the 69 Merc, he maintained the 71 for Marty Robbins to drive, and borrowed this car back to drive when he won the summer Riverside race with it, #12 in Marty's colors. There are a couple of pics of this car winning at Riverside.
