Cool collection. I don't have a huge number of die-casts - perhaps 100 or so. But I did add a Tim Richmond / JD Stacy 1:64 scale one today.
Why does that Stacy car look so familiar?!
The first time that Stacy color design appeared was at the August 1981 Champion Spark Plug 400 at Michigan with Joe Ruttman driving. I personally delivered a $10,000 check to Stacy to cover the "cost" of repainting his cars after Wrangler & Earnhardt left so they would no longer look identical to our Wrangler cars. The two John Betts photos below show the first outing of the Wrangler/Earnhardt/Childress #3 and the Stacy/Ruttman #2 at M.I.S.
I think Stacy-Pak may be some sort of coded anagram for Wrangler.
If anyone can ever find one of the mysterious Stacy-Pak Vitamins that were never seen, then you might really have something of value!
Personally, I think Robin McCall (Dallenbach) might have become the best female stock car driver ever if she could have had some more Stacy-Pak time like the 1982 M.I.S. ride below caught by John Betts.
Like you Dave, I've NEVER seen an image of Stacy-Pak vitamin packaging - just lettering on a car. Images of all sorts of products - new, old and ancient are available on the web. But not this product.
Perhaps it wasn't a human vitamin. Maybe it was put in chicken feed - especially feed for Clyde Torkle's chickens.
Could be member Will C at the wheel.
The most famous meeting of the Stacy-Pak Vitamin blue and yellow car and the Wrangler blue & yellow car between Tim & Dale was at Pocono in July 1982.
And, as Chase pointed out several years ago, Dale's car came to rest under the Schaefer Beer signage on the Pocono boiler plate steel wall!
Getting back to MoparBob's original intent for this thread... If I could just get a 15 Bud Moore 1:64 scale car, I could create a diorama of this accident. I've got the Schaefer graphics to make it happen. Ha.
Would a 1:24 scale work? Available on ebay!
