This is my friend Bob Turpins replica. He also has a super nice 64 Marauder that we've had together for pics.

An e-mail from Bob that came with the pics back a couple months ago:

Attached are a few pictures of my new car. It is at my home in my garage. It is a 1976 Mercury, built by the Wood Brothers, sponsored by Purolator, . It was built for David Pearson to the exact standards and color scheme commemorating his 1976 Daytona 500 Victory in a last lap wreck with Richard Petty, 30 years later. David has autographed the dash and drove this car 10 laps around Daytona and hit 165 MPH in 2006. It was made completely street legal. by its builder. It was also driven by him at Darlington 2008 It was with David in 2008, honoring him in Spartanburg, SC, I have met David, personally this week and have many autographed memorabilia that was given to me. I really got my Christmas present early this year.

Regards,

Bob Turpin
