Since Mike brought out his late 1970s Petty sheet, I've been wanting to fill in these gaps in my collection. So I set about buying up resin bodies and chassis to put under them. Now I've added these 4 to my Perty collection, and pretty much wrapped up the post-Dodge 1970s for PE.
All 4
1979 Atlanta 500 Olds: this car came after the early 1979 "low STP" days. I always thought the increasing STP ovals on the quarter panels was a hint if STP pays more, the logos will increase. That's just speculation on my part.
1980 Monte Carlo. The workhorse of the stable.
1980 Kyle Monte Carlo. Kyle drove whatever was left around, and this is the first year of his reverse paint scheme cars.
1980 Kyle Caprice. The Caprice was a strange car in the Petty stable, and both he and Richard drove it at times. With a grey interior, it might not have been a Level Cross built car.

Where did you get the 78 chevy.
