Show here is an original #99 race Daytona fastback window plug, which
Californian Sean Machado purchased from a man in Texas after he rescued
it from a junkyard where it spent many years. The #99 Richard Brickhouse
driven Daytona was wrecked at Texas Speedway and scrapped near the track. Most
of the running gear (and about everything else) was missing from the car.
The man had the roof area cut from the car and bought it, along with the
wing, from the junkyard. In the photo below, note the thick foam seal
with holes on the ends where the rear window straps mounted under the
glass. The straps actually wrapped around the glass. More photos can be
viewed via the links at right.
